CHONKY

This might be the more insane lore ive found. How did everyone miss this? OpenAI actually gave GPT-4.5 an internal nickname—"Chonky"—something they've literally never done for any other model. You can verify it yourself in their official video, at timestamp 4:31 where they literally say "Thanks Chonky" after it finishes a task. https://www.youtube.com/live/cfRYp0nItZ8?si=3cAmcIfLg5ahz4DP&t=271 Multiple OpenAI employees have openly tweeted about "Chonky," making it clear the name isn't a joke. https://x.com/kevinweil/status/1895221078026318245 https://x.com/TheRealAdamG/status/1895222214917820713 Even crazier—recently, GPT-4.5 started showing some genuinely weird behavior, @Amadea_Steel has been retweeting loads of stuff and multiple users https://x.com/Amadea_Steel/status/1938620102104269302 It kinda makes sense since sam altman said its the most human model ever. https://x.com/sama/status/1895203654103351462?lang=en Research confirms its more human than humans https://aibusiness.com/nlp/openai-s-new-model-is-more-human-than-humans-study-finds (more human than human) and OpenAI quickly decided to shut it down due to cost but most people believe thats not the real reason. They spend millions of dollars on a model, then remove it within 3 months? Doubt it. https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/14/openai-plans-to-wind-down-gpt-4-5-its-largest-ever-ai-model-in-its-api/ Honestly, what is OpenAI hiding here? If you want all the wild details, the article i wrote breaks it down completely. https://medium.com/@davenick94/the-hidden-truth-behind-openais-gpt-4-5-meet-chonky-cd7fe73db4bc Something big—and genuinely unsettling—is happening behind the scenes with GPT-4.5 ("Chonky").
