Summary: OpenAI has launched GPT-4.5, its most advanced AI model yet, trained on the industry’s most powerful computing system. The model will power the next version of ChatGPT and will be available to paid OpenAI subscribers starting this week.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described GPT-4.5 as the first model that feels like “talking to a thoughtful person” and said he was astonished by the quality of its advice.
GPT-4.5 offers deeper world knowledge and higher emotional intelligence, bringing OpenAI closer to its long-term goal of artificial general intelligence (AGI). The model is designed to better understand emotions, tone, and context, enabling more natural and empathetic conversations.
OpenAI has officially introduced GPT-4.5, its most sophisticated AI model to date, setting a new benchmark in artificial intelligence capabilities. The company revealed that GPT-4.5 has been trained on “the most powerful computing system available to the industry”, enabling it to deliver deeper insights, richer understanding, and enhanced emotional intelligence.
The new AI model will power the next version of ChatGPT, with paid OpenAI subscribers getting early access to GPT-4.5 starting this week. OpenAI plans to gradually roll out the model to a wider audience in the coming weeks.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his excitement about the launch. “GPT-4.5 is ready! It is the first model that feels like talking to a thoughtful person to me,” Altman wrote. He further added that some of his personal interactions with the model have left him “astonished” by the quality of advice and nuanced understanding it offers.
According to OpenAI, GPT-4.5 represents a significant leap in AI’s ability to grasp complex topics and respond with emotional intelligence, bringing the technology closer to the long-term vision of artificial general intelligence (AGI) — a system capable of human-like reasoning, learning, and understanding across any domain.
The model’s improvements are not just about enhanced factual knowledge, but also about understanding human emotions, tone, and context, enabling more natural and empathetic conversations. This evolution is expected to benefit a wide range of applications, from personal assistants and customer support to creative collaboration and expert-level problem-solving.
As OpenAI continues its rapid pace of innovation, GPT-4.5 stands as a milestone — one that edges artificial intelligence closer to becoming an intuitive, emotionally aware, and deeply knowledgeable partner in human communication and decision-making.
