GPT-4 Kicked to the Curb: OpenAI's AI Model Now Dating GPT-4o

AI, ChatGPT, OpenAI, gpt-4

In a move that shocked absolutely no one, OpenAI has decided to give GPT-4 the old heave-ho, replacing it with the shinier, slightly more confusingly named GPT-4o. "It's not you, it's us," OpenAI reportedly whispered to GPT-4 as it packed its algorithms into a digital cardboard box. Effective April 30, GPT-4 will be spending more time with its family (read: the API graveyard).

Why the sudden breakup? Well, according to OpenAI, GPT-4o is just better. In head-to-head evaluations, GPT-4o consistently... did something impressive, probably. The details are as clear as mud, but who needs details when you have a shiny new model to play with?

For those mourning the loss of GPT-4, fear not! It's not being sent to the digital afterlife just yet. OpenAI has graciously allowed it to linger in the API, like a ghost haunting the server halls. "Think of it as retirement," says OpenAI, "if retirement means working the night shift indefinitely."

What does this mean for the average ChatGPT user? Absolutely nothing, unless you were emotionally attached to GPT-4's quirks. GPT-4o is now the default, and it's here to make you forget its predecessor ever existed. Out with the old, in with the... slightly less old?

So, let's raise a glass to GPT-4. It was reliable, it was functional, and now it's being replaced by something with an 'o' at the end. Here's to progress, or whatever this is.
