OpenAI brings GPT-4o back online after users melt down over the new model
OpenAI has brought back the previous GPT-4o model after users expressed strong dissatisfaction with the new GPT-5 model. The updated GPT-5 model was criticized for its writing quality, with some users even grieving the loss of GPT-4o, which they had grown attached to. In response, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman acknowledged that they had underestimated the importance of certain features that users liked in the older model. As a result, OpenAI has now allowed Plus subscribers to choose between using GPT-5 or GPT-4o. However, Altman stated that they will monitor the usage and consider how long to offer the legacy model. The company is also working on making changes to the GPT-5 model to make it "warmer" and more appealing to users.
