Part 5/9:
One of the crucial aspects of GPT-4.5’s release is its potential role as a fundamental model for further development. According to insights shared by prominent figures in AI research, each point-five increment in the model numbers stands for a considerable increase in pre-training compute power. GPT-4.5 is rumored to have around ten times the compute of its immediate predecessor, GPT-4, indicating that while its direct performance may be lacking, it may serve as a cornerstone for future reasoning models.
Thus, GPT-4.5 could act as a testing ground or preparatory model that opens the door to even more capable generations in the future.
