According to @OpenAI, the company is set to gradually introduce GPT-4.5 to its Plus tier users over the coming days. This phased rollout aims to manage server load effectively and ensure a smooth user experience, which is crucial for maintaining service quality. The decision to avoid a full-scale immediate launch is based on preventing low rate limits that could impact user experience negatively, as cited by @sama.

According to Sam Altman, the rollout of GPT-4.5 to the Plus tier over a few days could impact AI-related token prices as demand for AI services may increase. The phased rollout is due to potential rate limit issues, which might lead to increased adoption and usage of AI services, affecting the financial performance of related cryptocurrencies.
