In this riveting episode of AI Explained, we delve into the world of GPT 4.5, the latest brainchild from the folks at OpenAI. This behemoth of a language model comes with a hefty price tag, catering exclusively to pro users at a steep $200 tier. But does it deliver the goods? Well, let's just say it's a bit like bringing a bazooka to a knife fight. GPT 4.5 falls short in scientific and mathematical benchmarks, leaving much to be desired in terms of raw performance. It's like showing up at a drag race with a lawnmower engine - disappointing, to say the least.
Despite its shortcomings, GPT 4.5 aims to up its game in the emotional intelligence department. But when put to the test in scenarios like detecting spousal abuse through humor, the results are, well, a bit cringeworthy. It's like watching a toddler try to perform brain surgery - you just hope for the best but expect a disaster. On the creative writing front, GPT 4.5 struggles to show, not tell, unlike its counterpart Claude 3.7, who paints vivid pictures with words. It's like comparing a Picasso to a paint-by-numbers kit - one's art, the other's just coloring.
Now, when it comes to humor, GPT 4.5 falls flat on its face, lacking the finesse and wit of Claude 3.7. It's like watching a stand-up comedian bomb on stage - awkward and uncomfortable. And let's not forget the elephant in the room - the eye-watering cost of GPT 4.5. At 15 to 30 times the price of its predecessor, GPT 40, you'd expect it to churn out Shakespearean masterpieces on demand. But alas, the reality falls short of the hype. However, there's a glimmer of hope in the incremental improvements seen in base models like GPT 4.5, hinting at a brighter future for AI reasoning models. It's like witnessing the evolution of a hatchling into a full-fledged dragon - exciting, unpredictable, and full of potential.
