“It’s a lemon”—OpenAI’s largest AI model ever arrives to mixed reviews
GPT-4.5 provides slight improvements in functionality but underperforms in coding tasks, while being significantly more expensive.
MAIN POINTS
- GPT-4.5 delivers only minor enhancements over previous versions.
- The model's coding performance is notably inadequate.
- It costs 30 times more than its predecessors.
- The high expense does not justify the marginal capability gains.
TAKEAWAYS
- Users may not find significant value in upgrading to GPT-4.5.
- Cost-effectiveness is a major concern with GPT-4.5.
- Alternative models might offer better coding performance.
- Evaluating the cost-benefit ratio is crucial before adopting GPT-4.5.
