'Deprecating Old Models' You Depend on a 'Mistake': Altman
CHATGPT PLATFORM, AUG 11 – OpenAI reinstates GPT-4o for ChatGPT Plus users after complaints about GPT-5's performance and raises reasoning model rate limits for free and Plus users.
- In response to user feedback, Sam Altman announced that GPT-4o will return to ChatGPT Plus and that reasoning model rate limits will increase for all ChatGPT users.
- OpenAI replaced the model picker with GPT-5 last week, prompting user backlash as many reported emotional distress after losing access to GPT-4o.
- According to the figures, free users' reasoning model access increased from one percent to seven percent, and Plus subscribers from seven percent to 24 percent.
- With GPT-4o's return secured, Altman said the company will monitor usage to decide how long to support legacy models and will intervene in decision boundaries.
- Given strong user attachment, Altman suggested future releases might include more tailored model 'flavors' to meet user preferences.
