## The details
* OpenAI writes in the blog post that GPT-4.5 has a higher level of emotional intelligence (EQ). The new model provides brief and clear answers, whereas GPT-4o often gets lost in detailed explanations. So, it seems more human.
* According to OpenAI, the model is useful for tasks like creative writing, programming, and solving practical problems. The model should also hallucinate less.
* However, GPT-4.5 performs worse in some benchmarks compared to other leading LLMs like Grok 3 or o3-mini. In addition, it does not support multimodal features like video or voice mode.
* The new model is already available for ChatGPT Pro users. Next week, Plus and Team users will also gain access. In addition, the API costs of GPT-4.5 are significantly higher than for GPT-4o.
**Our thoughts**
The benchmark results and the high price are disappointing. The question is why OpenAI is releasing a model that can’t compete with other state-of-the-art models. We expected more. According to rumors, OpenAI plans to release GPT-5 in May.
