After User Backlash, OpenAI Is Bringing Back Older ChatGPT Models

ONLINE PLATFORMS, AUG 8 – OpenAI removed older GPT models without warning, causing user frustration and subscription cancellations amid reported GPT-5 performance issues and a partial rollback for premium users.

  • On Thursday, OpenAI revealed GPT-5 and removed GPT-4o, o3, and 4.5 models overnight, prompting backlash from users.
  • This past week, OpenAI aimed to consolidate its models around GPT-5, which is intended to pick the right model for users, removing manual model selection.
  • Users highlighted GPT-5’s errors, with it miscounting the letter 'b' in 'blueberry' and failing a 'simple linear equation,' unlike Google’s Gemini 2.5.
  • Meanwhile, OpenAI is doubling rate limits for ChatGPT Plus users and confirmed GPT-4o will return after some users canceled subscriptions.
  • OpenAI, not yet profitable, aims for 20 billion in revenues by the end of 2025, while Ziff Davis alleges copyright infringement.
