This has led to further speculation and discussion within the tech community.
Despite the denials, some reports claim that ChatGPT has shown significantly improved performance over the past 48 hours. However, with official denials, the true nature of these improvements remains a topic of debate.
As this speculation unfolded, the official ChatGPT X account added to the mystery by tweeting in cryptic emojis. This, combined with Sam Altman’s confirmation of the ongoing development of GPT-5, suggests that while GPT-4.5 might not be a reality, advancements in AI models are certainly on the horizon.
The tech community remains divided over the existence of GPT-4.5, with excitement, skepticism, and official denials all contributing to the ongoing debate.
While it’s unclear whether GPT-4.5 is real, the increased performance of ChatGPT and the confirmed development of GPT-5 indicate that the future of AI is still full of possibilities.
