OpenAI is rolling out an early version of a long-awaited new artificial intelligence (AI) model called GPT-4.5 to select users after hitting stumbling blocks in developing the AI system last year.
In a blog post on Thursday, the San Francisco-based AI start-up said GPT-4.5 was better at picking up on and responding to subtle cues from users’ written prompts and was particularly adept at chatting, writing and coding. OpenAI also expects the new model to make things up less often than its prior software.
At first, OpenAI is offering the model as a “research preview” to a limited group of software developers and users who pay US$200 a month for a ChatGPT Pro subscription. The company plans to incorporate feedback from the first people who try it out before rolling it out to a broader audience.
