OpenAI’s last upgrade to ChatGPT was GPT 4 Turbo, which became official in November 2023 with a much bigger context window and an updated knowledge cut-off date. Now the AI chatbot is in for yet another upgrade soon, as leaked by the company itself.
The AI startup posted a new blog article about GPT 4.5 Turbo, the update that comes after GPT 4 Turbo. However, they removed the article shortly after. In the blog post, they provided information about GPT 4.5 Turbo and its improvements.
Based on a now unavailable blog post from OpenAI, the upcoming ChatGPT upgrade promises to offer improved speed, accuracy, and ability to handle larger amounts of data. One major enhancement is the extension of its knowledge base up to June 2024, providing users with the latest information available. While some think this might be an error, others speculate that OpenAI could release GPT 4.5 Turbo in June, although there’s been no official confirmation from the company.
GPT 4.5 Turbo will also have double the context window of GPT 4 Turbo at a whopping 256K tokens, which is about 200,000 words, making it suitable for comprehensive documents, research papers, etc.
However, what really matters here isn’t how many words it can handle, but how well it can understand them. Other AI models with large context windows often miss important details in longer documents, which makes their findings less trustworthy. If GPT 4.5 Turbo can improve in this aspect, it will definitely outperform its rivals.
