OpenAI Announces End Of GPT-4 Era As GPT-4o Becomes Default

OpenAI has announced it will retire the GPT-4 model from ChatGPT on April 30, marking a major shift in its AI roadmap. The platform will fully transition to the more advanced GPT-4o model.

Details:

• GPT-4o will replace GPT-4 in ChatGPT by late April but stay in OpenAI’s API. Evaluations show it outperforms GPT-4 in writing, coding, and STEM

• GPT-4, launched in March 2023, was OpenAI’s first widely used multimodal model. It cost over $100M to train before GPT-4 Turbo succeeded it in November 2023

• The shift happens amid copyright disputes with publishers like The New York Times. Meanwhile, leaks suggest OpenAI is developing GPT-4.1 and other reasoning models (o3, o4-mini)

OpenAI's shift to GPT-4o reflects its push for more advanced, consumer-ready AI. It's both a technical upgrade and a step forward in AI evolution.
