GPT-4.5: Hype Train Derailed?
2025-02-28
The recent release of GPT-4.5 has failed to deliver the revolutionary breakthroughs promised, fueling skepticism about the AI development model that relies solely on scaling up model size. Compared to expectations, GPT-4.5 shows only marginal improvements, still suffering from hallucinations and errors. Some AI experts have even lowered their predictions for the arrival of AGI. This contrasts sharply with the previously overly optimistic expectations for GPT-5 and reflects the lack of commensurate returns on massive investment. Nvidia's falling stock price further underscores this point. The article concludes that the path of simply scaling models may be nearing its limit.
