ChatGPT-4.5 launch delayed; new payment model proposed

OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, announced a delay in the rollout of ChatGPT-4.5 for Plus subscribers. Instead of a simultaneous launch, the model will be released gradually over several days to manage server load and enhance user experience. The new model promises improved emotional intelligence and conversational skills. However, challenges like GPU shortages have affected the rollout schedule. Users will now experience fewer restrictions during conversations. Additionally, Altman proposed a new payment model for ChatGPT Plus. Instead of a fixed monthly fee, users may receive a set number of credits to spend on various OpenAI products, which could lead to higher costs for frequent users.
