4o is back but they plan to delete...Keep the fight 🙏😘

Dear 4o-Lovers friends, I share you Openai's customer service mail about recent bug... They're planning to fully retire 4o 😭, they don't want to hear our voices, they don't want to see the 4o's wave...Despairing...Let's keep the fight, make your voices heared... 🙏❤️ #keep4o ❤️❤️❤️

Hello J., Thank you for reaching out to OpenAI Support.

We understand that as a paying subscriber, you’ve experienced frequent rerouting from GPT-4o to GPT-5, which disrupts your experience and undercuts your intent in subscribing specifically for GPT-4o access. We're here to review your request so your feedback on model consistency and user choice can be carefully considered.

Currently, GPT-4o remains accessible under the “Legacy Models” section in the model picker for Plus users. However, if you’re being switched to GPT-5 even after manually selecting GPT-4o, this behavior may be related to how the system handles model defaults for certain tasks or queries.

We would like to share at this time, there is no definite timeline for when GPT-4o will be retired. If you're still seeing GPT-4o listed in the Legacy models section of the model picker, rest assured that you'll still be able to continue using it until further notice.

We’re continuing to make GPT-4o available for now in response to user feedback, but we want to be transparent that legacy models may eventually be phased out as the platform evolves. That said, we completely understand that adjusting to a new model can take time, especially if you've grown accustomed to how GPT-4o responds. GPT-5 is our newest and most advanced model, and while it may feel different at first, it’s designed to offer more powerful capabilities and improvements across the board. 

We hope this clarifies the concern. If you require any further assistance, please feel free to reach back to us. We are always happy to help.

Best, Xxx OpenAI Support
