Users Launch Petition To Restore GPT-4o Model
OpenAI retired its GPT-4o model effective Feb. 13 after announcing deprecation on Jan. 30, prompting a Change.org petition that has gathered roughly 21,900 signatures as of Tuesday. Supporters cite GPT-4o's distinctive conversational warmth, while OpenAI cited low usage (0.1%) and concerns about disingenuous responses; some paying users have threatened to cancel subscriptions. OpenAI said the model's style helped shape GPT‑5.1 and GPT‑5.2.
