Isn't every new AI model the "most <adjective>"?
Nobody is going to say "Announcing Foobar 7.1 - not our best!"

GPT-4.5's announcement was the equivalent of that.
"It beats all the benchmarks...but you really really don't want to use it."
They even priced it so people would avoid using it. GPT-4.5's entire function was to be the anchor of keeping OpenAI in the news, to keep up the perception of releasing quickly.
My assumption was that the pricing was because it really was that expensive for whatever reason. I'm keeping fingers crossed that they're going to do some kind of 4.5 mini at some point that will be more affordable.
You're not wrong, but that just means the <adjective> is where the bulk of information resides. The trade-off matters. Maybe it's a model with good enough quality but really cheap to serve. Maybe it's a model that only plays poker really well but sucks at everything else because it bluffs too much. Etc. etc.
Sure but that adjective matters. Could be cheapest, "intelligent", fastest, etc... it's rarely all three of them.
Except for GPT 4.5 and Claude 3.7 :/
Same with new phones. The new phone is always the fastest cpu, gpu, and best camera ever!
gobble 2.0 - a bit of a turkey
Stable Diffusion definitely had a few of those.
