Altman said GPT-4.5 as "giant" and "expensive," but this new model promises to revolutionise AI interactions—provided you can afford it and they can find the hardware to run it.

Altman admitted, "We've been growing a lot and are out of GPUs." The tech behemoth that brought us ChatGPT has run out of the hardware that powers its creations.

 To mitigate this glaring oversight, OpenAI plans to "add tens of thousands of GPUs next week."

In the meantime, access to GPT-4.5 will be rationed like wartime provisions, with ChatGPT Pro subscribers getting first dibs, followed by the Plus tier users.

The pricing for GPT-4.5 is astronomical. OpenAI charges $75 per million input tokens and a staggering $150 per million output tokens, a 30-fold increase over their previous model, GPT-4o.

In their quest to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence, OpenAI has seemingly overlooked the limitations of their hardware and users' wallets.

It appears that in the race to create machines, they forgot to think that through.
