OpenAI brings back GPT-4o after user revolt

After unpopular GPT-5 launch, OpenAI begins restoring optional access to previous AI models.

On Tuesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that GPT-4o has returned to ChatGPT following intense user backlash over its removal during last week's GPT-5 launch. The move sparked one of the most vocal user revolts in ChatGPT's history, with a Reddit thread titled"GPT-5 is horrible" gathering over 2,000 comments within days. OpenAI also faced criticism for including misleading performance graphs in the launch presentation, which Altman later called a "mega chart screwup."
