I tried it and if it’s more natural, I don’t know what that means anymore, because I’m used to the last 6 month’s models.

In a hilarious act of accidental satire, it seems that the AI-generated audio version of the post has a weird glitch/mispronunciation within the first three words — it struggles to say "GPT-4.5".

My experience exactly:

1. Open the page

2. Click "Listen to article"

3. Check if I'm having a stroke

4. Close tab

Dear openai: try hiring some humans

I just played with the preview through the API. I asked it to refactor a fairly simple dashboard made with HTML, css and JavaScript. First time it confused css and JavaScript, then spat out code which broke the dashboard entirely. Then it charged me $1.53 for the privilege.

Finally a replacement for junior engineers!

Sam continues to be the least impressive person to ever lead such an amazing company.

Odd communication from him recently too. We’re sorry our UI has become so poor. We’re sorry this model is so expensive and not a big leap.

Being rich and at the right place at the right time doesn’t itself qualify you to lead or make you a visionary. Very odd indeed.

Yeap, that the thing, they are not ahead anymore. Not since last summer at least. Yes they have probably largest customer base, but their models are not the best for a while already.

Eh, I think o1-pro is by far the most capable model available right now in terms of pure problem solving.

I think Claude has consistently been ahead for a year ish now and is back ahead again for my use cases with 3.7.

it's so over, pretraining is ngmi. maybe sam Altman was wrong after all ? https://www.lycee.ai/blog/why-sam-altman-is-wrong

That's some top-tier sales work right there. I suck at and hate writing the mildly deceptive corporate puffery that seems to be in vogue. I wonder if GPT-4.5 can write that for me or if it's still not as good at it as the expert they paid to put that little gem together.

Their announcement email used it for puffery.

This is the shittiest PR move I've seen since the AI trend started.

At least so far it's coding performance is bad, but from what I have seen it's writing abilities are totally insane. It doesn't read like AI output anymore.

Any examples you’d be willing to share?

GPT 4.5 pricing is insane: Price Input: $75.00 / 1M tokens Cached input: $37.50 / 1M tokens Output: $150.00 / 1M tokens GPT 4o pricing for comparison: Price Input: $2.50 / 1M tokens Cached input: $1.25 / 1M tokens Output: $10.00 / 1M tokens It sounds like it's so expensive and the difference in usefulness is so lacking(?) they're not even gonna keep serving it in the API for long: > GPT‑4.5 is a very large and comput…

Sounds like an attempt at price descrimination. Sell the expensive version to big companies with big budgets who don't care, sell the cheap version to everyone else. Capture both ends of the market.

> We don't really know what this is good for Oh come on. Think how long of a gap there was between the first microcomputer and VisiCalc. Or between the start of the internet and social networking. First of all, it's going to take us 10 years to figure out how to use LLM's to their full productive potential. And second of all, it's going to take us collectively a long time to also figure out how much accuracy is neces…
