GPT-4.5 now available to Perplexity Pro users for up to 10 questions per day

Perplexity has integrated OpenAI's latest GPT-4.5 model into its platform, making it accessible to Pro users. This new feature allows subscribers to leverage the advanced capabilities of GPT-4.5 for up to 10 questions per day.

GPT-4.5, OpenAI's most recent language model, boasts improved natural language understanding and generation. It offers enhanced conversational abilities, a broader knowledge base, and reduced instances of AI hallucinations. The model demonstrates greater emotional intelligence and creativity, making it particularly useful for tasks like writing, problem-solving, and general-purpose interactions.

While GPT-4.5 represents a significant advancement in AI technology, it's important to note that OpenAI has positioned it as a research preview rather than a frontier model. The company emphasizes that GPT-4.5 may not match the performance of specialized models like o1 or o3-mini in certain areas.

Perplexity's decision to offer GPT-4.5 to Pro users aligns with the current trend of limited access to this new model. OpenAI initially restricted GPT-4.5 to ChatGPT Pro subscribers and developers on paid API tiers due to high computational requirements and a global GPU shortage.

By providing Pro users with daily access to GPT-4.5, Perplexity aims to balance the demand for cutting-edge AI capabilities with the need to manage computational resources effectively. This approach allows users to experience the benefits of the latest AI advancements while ensuring sustainable platform operation.
