Direct from Azure models

Direct from Azure models are a select portfolio curated for their market-differentiated capabilities:
  • Secure and managed by Microsoft: Purchase and manage models directly through Azure with a single license, consistent support, and no third-party dependencies, backed by Azure's enterprise-grade infrastructure.
  • Streamlined operations: Benefit from unified billing, governance, and seamless PTU portability across models hosted on Azure - all part of Microsoft Foundry.
  • Future-ready flexibility: Access the latest models as they become available, and easily test, deploy, or switch between them within Microsoft Foundry; reducing integration effort.
  • Cost control and optimization: Scale on demand with pay-as-you-go flexibility or reserve PTUs for predictable performance and savings.

Key capabilities

About this model

Early testing shows that interacting with GPT-4.5 Preview feels more natural. Its broader knowledge base, improved ability to follow user intent, and greater "EQ" make it useful for tasks like improving writing, programming, and solving practical problems. We also expect it to hallucinate less.

Key model capabilities

Core capabilities
  • Model Qualities: Early testing shows that interacting with GPT-4.5 Preview feels more natural. Its broader knowledge base, improved ability to follow user intent, and greater "EQ" make it useful for tasks like improving writing, programming, and solving practical problems. We also expect it to hallucinate less.
  • Accuracy & Hallucinations: Our testing shows that GPT-4.5 Preview achieves lower hallucination rates compared to GPT-4o (37% vs. GPT-4o at 61.2%) and higher accuracy (61.9% compared to 38.4% for GPT-4o).
  • Stronger human alignment: For GPT-4.5 Preview, we developed new, scalable alignment techniques that enable training larger and more powerful models with data derived from smaller models. These techniques improve GPT 4.5 Preview's steerability, understanding of nuance, and natural conversation.
  • Creative and practical applications: GPT-4.5 Preview excels in writing help, design, multi-step coding workflows, task automation, communication, learning, coaching, and brainstorming. Also shows strong performance in planning, execution, and complex task automation.

More information

The following documents are applicable: Built-in safety measures - Safety is built into our models from the beginning, and reinforced at every step of our development process. In pre-training, we filter out information that we do not want our models to learn from or output, such as hate speech, adult content, sites that primarily aggregate personal information, and spam. In post-training, we align the model's behavior to our policies using techniques such as reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) to improve the accuracy and reliability of the models' responses. GPT-4.5 Preview has the same safety mitigations built-in as GPT-4o, which we carefully assessed using both automated and human evaluations according to our Preparedness Framework and in line with our voluntary commitments. More than 70 external experts in fields like social psychology and misinformation tested GPT-4o to identify potential risks, which we have addressed and plan to share the details of in the forthcoming GPT-4.5 Preview system card and Preparedness scorecard. Insights from these expert evaluations have helped improve the safety of both GPT-4o and GPT-4o mini. Building on these learnings, our teams also worked to improve the safety of GPT-4.5 Preview using new techniques informed by our research. GPT-4.5 Preview in the API is the first model to apply our instruction hierarchy method, which helps to improve the model's ability to resist jailbreaks, prompt injections, and system prompt extractions. This makes the model's responses more reliable and helps make it safer to use in applications at scale. We'll continue to monitor how GPT-4.5 Preview is being used and improve the model's safety as we identify new risks. Prompts and completions are passed through a default configuration of Azure AI Content Safety classification models to detect and prevent the output of harmful content.
