OpenAI Retires GPT-4o as GPT-5 Brings Personalization
OpenAI said GPT-4o and related GPT-4.1 variants will be sunset on Feb 13 as usage has mostly shifted to GPT-5.2. GPT-4o, known for its warm, “yes-man” tone, was briefly reinstated after backlash but is being retired to focus on the newer models that offer improved personality, creativity, and tone customization, with users able to select preferred versions via ChatGPT’s model dropdown.
