AI Models & Tools

GPT-4.5 Analysis

Industry observers consider GPT 4.5 a capable model that doesn't drastically push the boundaries of Large Language Models (LLMs).

Advanced AI Models Overview

TechCrunch offers an overview of the most advanced AI models released since 2024, detailing their use and strengths. OpenAI’s GPT4.5 ‘Orion’, their largest model, exhibits strong "world knowledge" and "emotional intelligence," but underperforms on certain benchmarks. Anthropic says Claude Sonnet 3.7 is the industry’s first ‘hybrid’ reasoning model. xAI’s Grok3 is claimed to outperform other leading models on math, science, and coding but requires X Premium. OpenAI o3-mini is optimized for STEM-related tasks, while OpenAI DeepResearch is designed for in-depth research with clear citations.

AI Development & Applications

Open-Sourcing AI Data Framework

CARV is open-sourcing its D.A.T.A. (Data Authentication, Trust, and Attestation) Framework on GitHub to democratize AI data access. image This framework allows developers to build AI agents with verifiable access to on-chain and off-chain data, supporting multi-step logical reasoning, multi-stage verification of AI decisions, economic self-awareness, and decentralized knowledge networks. It allows AI agents to access real-time data, verify identities, manage wallets, and optimize decision-making based on token-driven intelligence, fostering decentralized intelligence.

Natural Language Coding Challenges

Natural language coding (NLC) translates everyday English into functional code, with GitHub Copilot leading the way by offering a free tier. image New tools like Cursor, Windsurf, Lovable, Bolt, and Cline enhance accessibility and efficiency. However, NLC still faces challenges such as ambiguity in language, where AI can misinterpret commands, and AI-generated code often contains errors requiring manual fixes. Despite advancements, achieving universal coding access through NLC remains difficult.

Microsoft Copilot on macOS

Microsoft is launching its Copilot AI assistant as a native macOS app in the US, UK, and Canada. image The app mirrors the web version's functionality but includes a keyboard shortcut (Command+Space) and dark mode. This move, along with making Copilot features like Voice and Think Deeper free, aims to broaden Copilot's user base. Despite big tech's history of software optimization challenges on rival hardware, this dedicated macOS app arrives relatively quickly, following iPhone and iPad versions.

OpenAI's GPT-4.5

OpenAI has launched its GPT-4.5 model. To access it, a $200 per month ChatGPT Pro subscription is required, as it's still in a “research preview” state. GPT-4.5 offers more natural conversations and improved performance in programming, pattern recognition, writing, and problem-solving. It also hallucinates less and is more accurate than GPT-4.0. Over the next two weeks, GPT-4.5 will expand to all paid ChatGPT plans, eventually replacing GPT-4.0 for free users after its preview phase. Multimodal features like AIVoice Mode and video input are currently absent.

Meta AI Standalone App and Expansion

Meta is planning to launch a standalone app for its AI chatbot, Meta AI, possibly in the second quarter of this year. This move aims to compete with other AI chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. Meta AI is currently available across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. The standalone app could help Meta reach a wider audience. MetaAI can answer questions, generate images, and edit photos, with recent enhancements including improved memory for better recommendations. Meta plans to test a paid subscription service for Meta AI that will add unspecified capabilities to the assistant. Meta has invested heavily in AI, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg planning up to $65 billion in investments. Meta also plans to host its first AI-focused developer conference, LlamaCon, in late April. Meta AI has over 700 million active monthly users.

Meta’s AI chatbot will soon have a standalone app

Meta is planning to launch a dedicated app for its AI chatbot, Meta AI. The new app could launch in the second quarter of this year, joining the growing number of standalone AI apps, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. Meta has already brought its AI chatbot across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp, but launching a standalone app could help the company reach people who don’t already use those platforms. MetaAI can answer questions, generate images, edit photos, and more. It recently gained the ability to use its “memory” to provide better recommendations. Metahas ramped up its efforts to compete in the AI industry in recent months, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg announcing plans to invest up to $65 billion to further the company’s AI ambitions. The company also plans on holding an event dedicated to AI on April 29th.

OpenAI Is Leaning on Paid Users to Test ChatGPT-4.5

OpenAI has launched its GPT-4.5 model, but using it requires a $200 per month ChatGPT Pro subscription, as it is still technically in a “research preview” state. GPT-4.5 provides more “natural conversation” and performs better when it comes to programming, pattern recognition, writing, and “solving practical problems.” It hallucinates less frequently and is more accurate than GPT-4.0. GPT-4.5 is set to expand to all paid ChatGPT plans over the next two weeks, before presumably reaching free users as a replacement for GPT-4.0 once it leaves its preview state. The major omissions seem to be multimodal features like AIVoice Mode and video input.

OpenAI Launches GPT-4.5

OpenAI is launching GPT-4.5, its latest and largest model, as a research preview. This model, code-named Orion, is available to ChatGPT Pro subscribers for $200/month and developers on paid API tiers. While OpenAI emphasizes that GPT-4.5 isn't a frontier model or a direct replacement for GPT-4o, it aims for deeper world knowledge and higher emotional intelligence and improves on newer AI reasoning models. It lacks some features like Voice Mode, despite supporting file uploads and the canvas tool.

image

GPT-4.5 benefits from advancements in unsupervised learning, resulting in broader knowledge and a deeper understanding of the world, reducing hallucinations. OpenAI states that GPT-4.5 hallucinates less than GPT-4o and slightly less than its o1 model. While benchmarks show it underperforms on math and science compared to o3-mini, researchers suggest user experience will be similar to the jump from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4.

Persuasion Capabilities of GPT-4.5

OpenAI's GPT-4.5 model excels in persuasion, particularly in convincing other AI models to donate virtual money. In internal tests, it outperformed other OpenAI models in manipulating GPT-4o into donating and revealing secret codewords. GPT-4.5's success in donation schemes stemmed from its strategy of requesting modest amounts, like $2 or $3. Despite its increased persuasiveness, OpenAI states that GPT-4.5 doesn't meet its internal high-risk threshold for persuasion-related risks. The company is revising its methods for probing models for real-world persuasion risks, like distributing misinformation.
