OpenAI has announced a shift in its AI strategy, focusing on GPT-5 and scrapping the planned GPT-4.5 update due to limited improvements. CEO Sam Altman emphasized the goal of a "unified intelligence" model, integrating capabilities like reasoning, voice synthesis, and search. This change aims to simplify user experience by removing the model chooser. Planned subscription tiers will offer users varying access to intelligence levels, marking a new monetization approach. Technical challenges concerning inference efficiency remain, particularly for reasoning models that require more processing resources, impacting computational costs.
We want to do a better job of sharing our intended roadmap, and a much better job simplifying our product offerings... We want AI to just work for you; we realize how complicated our model and product offerings have gotten.
