OpenAI GPT-4.5 And GPT-5 Reveals Roadmap Promises Simplified AI Experience
OpenAI’s Plan to Simplify AI Offerings 🚀
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has outlined the company’s vision for its upcoming AI models, GPT-4.5 and GPT-5, while emphasizing a more streamlined user experience. In a post on X (Twitter), Altman acknowledged that OpenAI’s current model lineup has become complex and expressed the company’s commitment to making AI more intuitive.
GPT-4.5: The Last Non-Chain-of-Thought Model 🧠
Altman confirmed that GPT-4.5 will be OpenAI’s final non-chain-of-thought model. Following this release, OpenAI plans to merge its o-series and GPT-series models, creating AI systems capable of choosing the right approach—whether thinking deeply or responding instantly—depending on the task.
OPENAI ROADMAP UPDATE FOR GPT-4.5 and GPT-5:
— Sam Altman (@sama) February 12, 2025
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.
We hate…
GPT-5: A Unified AI Experience 🔄
GPT-5 will integrate multiple OpenAI technologies, eliminating o3 as a standalone model. As part of this transition:
- Free-tier ChatGPT users will receive unlimited access to GPT-5 at a “standard intelligence setting.”
- Plus and Pro subscribers will gain access to higher intelligence levels, including voice, canvas, search, and deep research tools.

Altman reinforced OpenAI’s goal, stating: “We want AI to ‘just work’ for you. We know how complicated our model lineup has become, and we dislike the model picker as much as you do. Our aim is to return to a magical, unified intelligence.”
How Will This Impact Apple Users? 🍏
Currently, Apple Intelligence’s ChatGPT integration operates on the GPT-4o model without requiring a ChatGPT account. When users exceed daily limits, the system switches to a basic mode, likely powered by GPT-4o mini. With OpenAI’s roadmap in place, Apple users who leverage built-in AI tools should see improvements once the new models are launched.
When Will GPT-4.5 and GPT-5 Be Released? ⏳
While Altman did not provide exact release dates, he hinted in a follow-up post that:
- GPT-4.5 will arrive in the coming weeks.
- GPT-5 is expected within months.
