Definition of ChatGPT (incl. ChatGPT 4.5) – AllBusiness.com
By the AllBusiness.com Team
ChatGPT is an AI-driven tool that uses natural language processing to understand and respond to user queries (referred to as “prompts”). It was developed by OpenAI, based on the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) architecture. It leverages deep learning techniques, particularly transformer neural networks, to generate human-like text responses.
Initially introduced in 2020 with GPT-3, ChatGPT has rapidly evolved, becoming one of the most powerful and widely used AI language models. In 2023, OpenAI released GPT-4, the next iteration, significantly enhancing ChatGPT's ability to understand and generate contextually relevant responses across various domains. In 2024, OpenAI released the next version, GPT-4o.
The model is pre-trained on vast amounts of text data from diverse sources, including books, articles, websites, and conversations. This enables it to comprehend natural language inputs and produce coherent and contextually appropriate responses. ChatGPT’s capabilities extend beyond simple question-answering; it can engage in complex dialogues, provide information, generate creative content, summarize data, and much more.
ChatGPT- 4.5
OpenAI's GPT-4.5, released on February 27, 2025, is the company's most advanced AI chat model to date, emphasizing enhanced emotional intelligence, user interaction, and improved accuracy. CEO Sam Altman described it as "the first model that feels like talking to a thoughtful person," highlighting its ability to provide more natural, intuitive responses. According to OpenAI,the model features a broader knowledge base, a stronger grasp of nuance and context, and a deeper understanding of the world, leading to significantly reduced hallucinations. GPT-4.5 has improved reliability across a wide range of topics, with a hallucination rate dropping to 37%, a major improvement over GPT-4o’s nearly 60%. The OpenAI website states: “Early testing shows that interacting with GPT‑4.5 feels more natural. Its broader knowledge base, improved ability to follow user intent, and greater “EQ” make it useful for tasks like improving writing, programming, and solving practical problems. We also expect it to hallucinate less.”
However, these advancements come with significant costs and challenges. GPT-4.5 is substantially more expensive to train and operate, with input costs rising to $75 per million tokens compared to GPT-4’s $2.50. Tokens, the basic units of text processed by AI models, determine the cost and efficiency of responses, with longer prompts consuming more tokens and increasing expenses. The model's increased size and computational demands have led to GPU shortages, delaying its full rollout and raising concerns about accessibility and scalability.
OpenAI has made GPT-4.5 primarily available to ChatGPT Pro users at a subscription price of $200 per month, with plans to extend access to other tiers such as Plus and Team. Developers can also access GPT-4.5 via OpenAI’s API, but due to the high operational costs, there is concern that OpenAI may limit developer access to sustain the model’s viability. These factors could impact the widespread adoption of GPT-4.5 despite its impressive capabilities. See here for more detailed info on ChatGPT-4.5 from OpenAI.
Summary of ChatGPT:
ChatGPT is a groundbreaking AI tool that has brought advanced conversational capabilities to both individual users and businesses. Its ability to handle diverse tasks—ranging from customer support to content creation—has made it an invaluable resource across multiple industries. With features such as natural language processing, contextual understanding, and multilingual support, ChatGPT is versatile and highly adaptable.
However, like all AI systems, ChatGPT has its limitations. It sometimes provides inaccurate information, struggles with maintaining long-term context, and cannot truly comprehend human emotions.
