Is ChatGPT Getting an Artificial Intelligence Upgrade?
Rumors about a potential upgrade to the popular AI chatbot, ChatGPT, have sparked a lot of speculation on social media. A leaked image suggested a new model with advanced capabilities and new pricing. However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has dismissed these rumors.
Despite Altman’s denial, more leaks of a GPT-4.5 model in ChatGPT have surfaced. Users have been questioning which model and API the chatbot is running, and ChatGPT itself responded with ‘GPT 4.5-turbo.’
There have also been reports of significant improvements in ChatGPT’s performance over the past 48 hours. The ChatGPT X account has been tweeting cryptic emojis, according to industry observer Rowan Cheung.
While Altman denies the rumors, the increased performance suggests some sort of upgrade may be in the works.
