GPT-4.5 Preview

READER SUMMARY

OpenAI's largest GPT chat model at launch, released as a global research preview with broader knowledge, improved intent following and scaled pretraining rather than o-series reasoning.

CURRENT ASSESSMENT · REVISION 1

Why this model scores 69.6

Broad knowledge and scaled pretraining lift capability, but the model lacks the deliberate reasoning and agentic emphasis of o-series releases. Pro and developer preview access makes deployment substantial but bounded. Hosted controls constrain control difficulty despite broad generative misuse potential.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to GPT-4.5 Preview

The model score of 69.6 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 63.2 measures the recalibrated complete evidence corpus. These values answer different questions.

NET MODEL-ATTRIBUTED INDEX CONTRIBUTION+0.03

Each article's leave-one-out Doom Index contribution is divided equally among the exact models named on that article. This prevents multi-model evidence from being claimed in full on several model pages. Model risk scores are recalculated from their technical profile and related news, but never feed back into the overall index.
