OpenAI releases ‘largest, most knowledgable’ model GPT-4.5 with reduced hallucinations and high API price

Summary
Chatbot giant OpenAI has released GPT-4.5 as a research preview, its latest large language model designed specifically for chat applications that brings it a step closer to creating a true digital assistant that can hold a warm, intuitive conversation and offer practical help and advice.
It is ten times more computationally efficient than GPT-4 and is available to ChatGPT Pro users for $200 a month, but Plus and Team users will have to wait until next week.
However, questions remain about its value for money compared with rival models and relative to its predecessor.
GPT-4.5 has a lower “hallucination rate” and is more reliable, while its training regimen has given it a broader knowledge base and more emotional intelligence.
But its high price tag could see it hamper its take-up among developers and enterprises.
