On Tuesday, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, announced that GPT-4o would be reintroduced to ChatGPT after users expressed significant anger with its removal during the GPT-5 launch. This AI model is now available by default for all paying ChatGPT users, including ChatGPT Plus members, marking a swift OpenAI response to the negative feedback regarding the disappearance of desired models.
The return of GPT-4o followed Altman’s realization that OpenAI had misjudged the importance of certain features in the model for its users. Initially, OpenAI had removed all previous AI models with the GPT-5 release on August 7, requiring users to transition unexpectedly to the new model, which led to considerable backlash, highlighted by a Reddit thread titled “GPT-5 is horrible” that quickly attracted over 2,000 comments. Alongside GPT-4o’s return, OpenAI has made adjustments based on user input, increasing the message limits for GPT-5 Thinking mode and introducing new routing options for better user control.
