> We will also begin deprecating GPT‑4.5 Preview in the API, as GPT‑4.1 offers improved or similar performance on many key capabilities at much lower cost and latency.
why would they deprecate when it's the better model? too expensive?

Too expensive, but not for them - for their customers. The only reason they’d deprecated it is if it wasn’t seeing usage worth keeping it up and that probably stems from it being insanely more expensive and slower than everything else.
Where did you find that 4.5 is a better model? Everything from the video told me that 4.5 was largely a mistake and 4.1 beats 4.5 at everything. There's no point keeping 4.5 at this point.
Bigger numbers are supposed to mean better. 3.5, 4, 4.5. Going from 4 to 4.5 to 4.1 seems weird to most people. If it's better, it should of been GPT-4.6 or 5.0 or something else, not a downgraded number.
OpenAI has decided to troll via crappy naming conventions as a sort of in joke. Sam Altman tweets about it pretty often
sits on too many GPUs, they mentioned it during the stream
I'm guessing the (API) demand isn't there to saturate them fully
