OpenAI is set to launch GPT-4.5, previously known as 'Orion', which will succeed GPT-4, with predictions suggesting its release could happen within weeks.

While GPT-4.5 is on the horizon, the anticipated launch of GPT-5 may take several months, although OpenAI has not confirmed specific dates for either release.

This accelerated timeline for new releases comes in response to Google's recent introduction of a similar recall feature for its Gemini AI.

In addition to the upcoming models, OpenAI is testing improved memory capabilities for ChatGPT, named 'Moonshine', which will enhance users' ability to recall and reference past conversations.

The 'Improved Memory' feature will be available in Alpha mode, allowing users to enable or disable it according to their preferences.

Currently, the 'Deep Search' feature is exclusive to Pro users, but there are plans to extend access to Plus users and offer limited searches for free-tier users.

Recent updates to the ChatGPT web app include a mention of a new ChatGPT Business plan and experiments with new response streaming animations.

Details regarding the new business plan have been hinted at, but specifics remain undisclosed, leaving questions about how it will differ from existing offerings like Teams and Enterprise.

Historically, OpenAI has made significant announcements for ChatGPT around May, suggesting a potential alignment for future updates.

Looking ahead, OpenAI plans to unify general AI capabilities and reasoning functions in GPT-5, leading to the indefinite postponement of the full release of o3.

Additionally, OpenAI is introducing a new settings option in ChatGPT that allows users to enable or disable follow-up suggestions.
