OpenAI releases GPT-4.5

From Sam Altman - https://x.com/sama/status/1889755723078443244

"We will next ship GPT-4.5, the model we called Orion internally, as our last non-chain-of-thought model."

There was an article about it before the release.

At the same meeting, company leadership gave a demonstration of a research project involving its GPT-4 AI model that OpenAI thinks shows some new skills that rise to human-like reasoning, according to a person familiar with the discussion who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak to press.

(Relevant, although "involving its GPT-4 AI model" is a considerably weaker statement than 'initialized from a GPT-4 checkpoint'.)

Scott Aaronson (Quantum computing expert) also works at OpenAI. But I don't think he's doing any quantum computer-related research there. As far as I know, he's on the superalignment team.

Yeah, I knew that Scott was at OpenAI, but I wasn't sure if he was still there. And his focus is on AI Safety though I don't know if he's on the superalignment team (does that include all OpenAI AI Safety researchers now?). However, it looks like he is (and may be leaving soon?):

English is not my first language, and I'm not very proficient in it. So there is a word that is confusing to me. Does the word 'any' mean 'all' in this context or does it refer to something that is chosen at random?

Usually "any" means each person in the specific class individually. So perhaps not groups of people working together, but a much higher bar than a randomly sampled person. But note that Richard doesn't think that "the specific 'expert' threshold will make much difference", so probably the exact definition of "any" doesn't matter very much for his thoughts here.
