How to Select ChatGPT 4.5
ChatGPT Plus users (that’s the $20/month subscription tier): do you know about GPT4.5?
Since early March 2025, subscribers at the Plus level and up have had limited access to a research preview of the new GPT4.5 model, described as “good for writing and exploring ideas.”
It’s actually great for writing and exploring ideas, with a more natural and nuanced writing voice and an improved simulation of emotional intelligence.
The drawback is that at the Plus level you only get between 10-50 messages per week (OpenAI hasn’t officially stated what it is.) That’s not a lot. Personally, I hoard them for special projects.
