OpenAI had a big week when it comes to ChatGPT, unleashing multiple new models that are available to users right away. The chatbot got several new features that are scattered around the various models. OpenAI also managed to make its ChatGPT model choices more confusing than ever. I wouldn't blame you if you can't make heads or tails of the various models that are available in ChatGPT right now. They sound like temporary file names for draft documents on your computer that you'll never open again.
It's somewhat hilarious that a multi-billion-dollar company has allowed this to happen. For example, ChatGPT Plus users like me can access GPT-4o and GPT-4.5 (in preview mode) but not GPT-4.1. The latter is the last high-end model OpenAI released, but it's only available via the API. But is it better than GPT-4.5? And why was GPT-4.1 released after GPT-4.5?
What if I want to use Deep Research? Which model do I pick? I can choose between the non-reasoning GPT-4o and GPT-4.5 or go for reasoning models like the new o3 and o4-mini.
Maybe OpenAI needs to invent an AI model whose sole job is to name new products.
Thankfully, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed a few days ago that the company will fix its naming scheme later this year. Until then, we have to live with this naming nonsense. I'll try to make it easy for you by explaining what models are available on each ChatGPT tier, and what they can do.
