OpenAI releases GPT-4.5 with ridiculous prices for a mediocre model

What's amazing is how long it's been at an insane level of hype and there isn't a single product that's very popular.
There's niche products, there's products that a lot of people use sometimes or that they don't mind but there's nothing in existence that a lot of people care about. Much less one a lot of people pay for.
The largest voice about the whole thing is how terrible it is. It's just bonkers.
Investors poured completely insane amounts of money into thd endless money pit that is ClosedAI. then they realize betting everything on one horse was really stupid, since they have zero competitve advantage.
now they try to get as much loot off the sinking ship as possible lmao
they'll probably exit scam soon
it's been an ongoing exit scam

Been using deepseek R1 a lot during February and it's been consistently better at giving me what I want on the first go than any of the other models.
OpenAI is stuffed.
