The GPT-4.5/5 Saga: A Mix of “Wow!” and “Huh?” 😮💨🚀 So, GPT-4.5 (aka Orion) ended up being a bit of a letdown, thanks to drying up high-quality web data and optimization methods that just wouldn’t scale to massive models. But fear not! GPT-5 is shifting its focus big-time to practical improvements, bringing in reinforcement learning and a universal validator. OpenAI, though, faced a ton of hurdles during development, including “student model” performance drops, not enough pre-training data, talent drain, and clashes between research and business goals. On the biz front, OpenAI inked an exclusive partnership deal with Microsoft and is apparently gearing up for a potential IPO. Wild ride, right? 🎢
