Part 2/9:
When examining the benchmarks, GPT-4.5 does not appear to "crush" its predecessors. It shows minor improvements in performance, yet it is not particularly strong in reasoning capabilities, such as complex math or coding tasks. This deficiency raises questions about its practical applications for users who rely on AI for sophisticated tasks.
Equally important is the model's processing speed—or lack thereof. Users have noted that GPT-4.5 operates at a slower pace compared to many current models, echoing sentiments from previous versions rather than the anticipated forward momentum in speed and efficiency.
