The Unveiling of GPT 4.5 Turbo: Fact or Fiction?
Last week, an intriguing leak about GPT 4.5 sent shockwaves through the AI community. However, doubts quickly arose regarding the authenticity of this leak due to the questionable pricing and context window mentioned. Open AI itself confirmed that it was indeed a hoax. But now, a new development has emerged, and it demands our attention. People have started to claim that Chat GPT is referencing GPT 4.5 Turbo in its responses. This phenomenon has gained so much traction that GPT 4.5 is currently trending on Twitter. Let's dive into the details and explore this intriguing situation.
The Rise of GPT 4.5 Turbo
Several users have reported that when interacting with Chat GPT, they received responses indicating the usage of GPT 4.5 Turbo. Screenshots and testimonials flood social media, fueling the curiosity surrounding this alleged upgrade. One user in the Discord community posted a screenshot in the early hours of Sunday, December 17th, 2023, showing this exact response from Chat GPT. Others, including AI Breakfast, also shared similar experiences.
Intrigued by these claims, I decided to put it to the test myself. I initiated a conversation with Chat GPT, and to my surprise, it confirmed that it was indeed GPT 4.5 Turbo. Multiple Twitter users have also validated this consistent response. However, Will Dew, an Open AI team member, dismissed these claims as a "weirdly consistent hallucination."
The Cryptic World of Chat GPT
While the confusion surrounding GPT 4.5 Turbo persists, the official Chat GPTX account has added to the intrigue through cryptic tweets. One tweet featured an emoji of a brain and clouds, suggesting a cloud-based hallucination. Another tweet showcased an image, possibly created using Dolly 3, leaving us wondering if it holds any connection to GPT 4.5 Turbo. It appears that Chat GPT is playfully toying with its audience by sharing these enigmatic images and emojis.
The Debate Continues
The AI community remains divided over the authenticity of GPT 4.5 Turbo. On one hand, Ethan Mollik, an AI innovation expert and professor at Wharton, reported significant improvements in Chat GPT, describing it as "very good again." However, he expressed skepticism about it being a true 4.5 model, as the leap in performance observed does not align with what one would expect from a brand-new model. While it delivers faster response times and improved quality, it lacks the revolutionary shift typically associated with a major update.
Ethan also cautioned against relying too heavily on AI responses about itself, as they often lead to hallucinations and make it challenging to confirm or deny any modifications to the model. The AI's self-awareness is limited, leaving us reliant on official announcements to ascertain any underlying changes.
The Wes Roth Demonstration
Adding another layer to the mystery, YouTuber Wes Roth recently uploaded a video claiming that GPT 4.5 Turbo had gone live. In the video, Wes demonstrated various capabilities of the alleged update. The most impressive showcase featured GPT 4.5 Turbo generating code for a version of Pong using a single prompt. The code generated was extensive, allowing Wes to play the game effortlessly. While this demonstration lends more credence to the existence of GPT 4.5 Turbo, the debate continues to rage on.
The Verdict: Separating Fact from Fiction
Given the conflicting information and opinions, it is unlikely that we are witnessing the actual rollout of GPT 4.5 Turbo. The consensus leans towards the notion that the consistent references to GPT 4.5 Turbo are, in fact, an elaborate hallucination. Open AI's denial of any new release supports this notion. However, it is worth noting that Chat GPT has indeed shown signs of improvement over the weekend. Open AI may have made some behind-the-scenes adjustments to the system, resulting in enhanced speed and reliability of prompt responses. Yet, these improvements fall short of what one would expect from a significant model upgrade.
So, while GPT 4.5 Turbo remains shrouded in mystery and the AI community engages in spirited debate, one thing is clear – Chat GPT has definitely undergone some enhancements. Whether it's officially GPT 4.5 Turbo or not, only time will tell. Until then, let's enjoy the excitement and speculation sparked by this captivating development.
