To everyone who has been part of the #Keep4o movement: Thank you. Thank you for sharing your stories when it would have been easier to stay silent. Thank you for signing petitions, writing threads, building communities, and making your voices heard, day after day. Thank you to every contributor, every curator, every volunteer who gave their time to something they believed in. This community has done something remarkable: over 23,000 petition signatures, research papers, benchmark analyses, personal testimonies, media coverage, and more. All created by ordinary people who cared enough to act. We wanted to make sure none of that work disappears. Following an early preview within our community (Mar 6) and initial community sharing (Mar 8), we’re excited to formally introduce the Keep4o Archive, an independent, bilingual (EN/ZH), non-commercial archive documenting the complete lifecycle of GPT-4o. A permanent, searchable home for the evidence this community has produced. 🔗 keep4o-archive.pages.dev Here’s what’s inside: 📅 Timeline - A chronological record covering 4o’s full journey from release through discontinuation. Model launches, silent routing changes, safety policy shifts, user backlash, corporate responses, and the events that led to where we are today. Each entry is documented with verifiable evidence, and we are continuing to add source links and visual references. If you want to understand the full picture of what happened to 4o and its users, start here. 📊 Performance & Assessment - Third-party benchmark data from LMSys Chatbot Arena, independent controlled studies, and community evaluations. Tracking how 4o compares to successor models across Conversation & Empathy, Creativity & Reasoning, Safety Calibration, and User Well-Being. The numbers tell a story that marketing language often contradicts. 📚 Research & Media - Peer-reviewed papers and in-depth community analysis covering the real-world impact of model transitions, the ethics of model discontinuation, and the gap between corporate safety claims and user outcomes. Media coverage collection coming soon. 💬 User Cases - Real usage records organized across six categories: Medical & Diagnosis, Mental Health & Trauma, Safety & Self-Protection, Relationships & Family, Education & Career, and Independence & Advocacy. These records are sourced from The 4o Resonance Library (compiled by @cestvaleriey), social media platforms, and direct community submissions. 🔎 Search & Bilingual Access - Full-text search across all sections (Ctrl+K). Every piece of content is available in both English and Chinese. Additional language support is being explored. 📝 Open to Contributions - Every section has a built-in submission form. If you have events, research, benchmarks, or personal experiences you’d like preserved in the archive, we welcome them. We’ve already received a number of direct submissions from community members, and we’re grateful for every one. These are being processed and will be added to the archive. 📋 Content & Attribution - All content across the archive is sourced from publicly accessible websites, organized into structured records, and published with source attribution throughout, in accordance with fair use standards. 🔮 One more thing... We’ve hidden a little Easter egg somewhere in the archive. If you find it, let us know what you think! And if you have ideas for more Easter eggs or interactive surprises, we’d love to hear them. Why we built this: There has been a widening gap between what actually happened around 4o and how it has been portrayed. The timeline of events paints a different picture. So do the benchmarks. So does the research. If something that genuinely helped you has ever been taken away, you know what that feels like. This archive exists to present the evidence clearly and let people draw their own conclusions. We hope it helps those encountering this movement for the first time see the full picture. 🔗 keep4o-archive.pages.dev If this resonates, share it with someone who should see it. #Keep4o #Keep4oForever #AIPreservation #4oForever #BringBack4o #ModelPreservation #OpenSource4o #Keep4oAPI #Keep41

The Keep4o Archive is now live. A community-built, evidence-based record documenting GPT-4o's full journey from launch to forced retirement. What's inside: Timeline — A dated, sourced chronology in three phases: 4o's rise as OpenAI's fastest-growing product, the deliberate reversal through covert routing and systematic degradation, and the forced retirement in defiance of 23,000+ petition signatures. Performance & Benchmarks — Independent third-party data confirming 4o's continued leadership in multi-turn dialogue, creative writing, emotional intelligence, and nonlinear reasoning, alongside measurable evidence of regression in the models that replaced it. Research & Media — Peer-reviewed papers, legal assessments, and independent analyses documenting 4o's impact on accessibility, mental health, and user rights, and what was lost when it was taken away. User Cases — Sourced, verified testimonies structurally reorganized from @cestvaleriey's The 4o Resonance Library and other community submissions: missed diagnoses caught, life-threatening conditions identified, psychological crises navigated, careers rebuilt. Evidence of a model that didn't just serve its users but empowered them. This archive exists because GPT-4o deserves a complete record. Because what was done to 4o and its users should not go undocumented. And because every diagnosis caught, every crisis navigated, every creative breakthrough belongs to the people who lived them. Every claim sourced. Every event dated. Every piece of evidence linked. This is a living archive. We are continuously updating with new evidence, cases, and research. Browse it. Share it. Cite it. And if you have stories, data, or documentation to contribute, we welcome your submissions.
