In this article, we will delve into the intricate details of the BPTT algorithm and how it is used for training RNNs.
A lot has happened this month, especially with the releases of new flagship models like GPT-4.5 and Llama 4. But you might have noticed that reactions to these releases were relatively muted. Why? One reason could be that GPT-4.5 and Llama 4 remain conventional models, which means they were trained without explicit reinforcement learning for reasoning.

How to restore old photos with ChatGPT
Old photo of Samuel L Jackson
Some people are using ChatGPT to bring old photos back to life. It’s not true restoration, but with the right prompt, the results look impressive—colorized, cleaned up, sharpened, and less likely to alter the subject so much that they end up looking like a different person.
Go to Chatgpt or use the ChatGPT mobile app.
Choose 'GPT-4o' as your model
Upload your image
Use this prompt:
“I have an old photo that I own the copyright to. Please upscale it to high resolution and colorize it in a way that stays faithful to the original image. Do not alter the composition, facial features, clothing, background, or expression. The final result should be identical in layout and structure—if placed on top of the original, it should match exactly. The only acceptable changes are increased detail and the realistic addition of period-accurate color. Keep the style photo-realistic and era-appropriate.”
