GPT-4.5 was good, and I really liked it, but it's not as capable as o3/o3-Pro, and it was actually a worse writer -- i.e., a worse prose stylist -- than the Chinese models Deepseek R1 and Kimi! (Deepseek, for whatever reason, has always been incredibly good at writing in English, and has an impressively neutral voice.)
So for the prompt: "Write a poem to explain Newton's laws of physics"
GPT 4.5:
When thinking how the world does spin, / Newton’s laws tell us how things begin. / Three simple rules describe it all, / From mighty planets to a bouncing ball.
First Law, simple and quite clear: / An object moves or stays right here. / Until a push, a pull, a shove, / It stays at rest, or stays in move.
Second Law, connects three parts: / Mass and force, where motion starts. / The greater force upon the mass, / The quicker speed will come to pass.
Third Law is action, reaction: / Equal force, opposing traction. / Push a wall, it pushes back, / Force meets force, on equal track.
So these three laws, by Newton taught, / Explain the moves that nature’s wrought. / From smallest grain to starry skies, / His laws make clear how motion flies.
This is okay but very flat and pedestrian.
Kimi does a lot better, is a lot more imaginative, but gets meter a bit wrong:

GPT-4.5 was a dud release which is why they followed up with GPT-4.1 and ignored 4.5's existence completely.
