OpenAI reversed its decision to replace GPT-4o with GPT-5 after significant user complaints during a Reddit AMA session. Many users expressed strong emotional attachments to GPT-4o, describing its absence as a loss and criticizing the new GPT-5 for its perceived lack of creativity. Sam Altman acknowledged the feedback, promising to bring back GPT-4o for Plus subscribers and indicating the future availability of previous models would depend on user adoption rates. The new GPT-5 model received mixed reactions from loyal users.
"I think you should take the fact that I, and many others, have been able to form such strong bonds with 4o as a measure of success," one Redditor wrote in a lengthy plea that received at least 250 upvotes and more than a dozen comments.
Altman then promised to bring back GPT-4o for users subscribed to Plus, a paid subscription plan, and said the continuation of previous versions would depend on how many people use it.
