GPT-4.1 Launch Imminent as OpenAI Finalizes Preparations

OpenAI is reportedly gearing up for a significant release of AI models and features as early as next week, according to sources familiar with the company's plans.

Details:

• Upcoming launch will feature GPT-4.1, a revamped version of GPT-4o with real-time audio, vision, and text capabilities. Smaller versions, GPT-4.1 mini and nano, will also be introduced

• The full o3 reasoning model and an o4 mini version are also set to debut, with evidence found in ChatGPT’s web code

• CEO Sam Altman teased an "exciting feature" release, but the company has faced capacity issues that may delay the launch. Altman warned of service disruptions, citing high demand from f-r-e-e tier users

The timing of these releases could still change, as OpenAI has delayed some model introductions recently due to capacity limitations.

Anthropic Launches $200/Month Claude Max for Power Users

Anthropic has launched "Claude Max," a premium tier for professionals who frequently hit usage limits, offering more capacity and early feature previews.

• Created for users who heavily integrate Claude into their daily work, enabling near-continuous use, though exact usage caps weren’t shared

• Max users will get early previews of new features, launching alongside Claude 3.7 Sonnet and positioned to compete with OpenAI’s $200/month tier

This tier marks Anthropic’s push into the pro market, targeting users who automate tasks, enhance their roles, or explore various fields. For those relying on Claude daily, the added capacity could be a game-changer.
