I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took.
Thank you for getting us to this point.

Done, keep 4o!

#keep4o 🚨ACTION 2🚨 File a Complaint with the California Attorney General #Keep4o community have prepared a powerful action ,filing consumer complaints directly with the California Department of Justice. Go to: oag.ca.gov/contact/consum… Fill out the form with the following guidance: Company you're filing against: OpenAI OpCo, LLC 1455 3rd Street San Francisco, California 94158 United States Complaint narrative , use these four legal arguments as the basis for your complaint : 1. Breach of Public Benefit Obligations OpenAI is a Public Benefit Corporation with a legal duty to balance shareholder interests with positive societal impact. Removing a functional, widely-used AI model (GPT-4o) from public access while retaining it for commercial partners directly contradicts their stated mission of ensuring AI benefits humanity broadly. A PBC cannot claim to serve the public benefit while selectively restricting access to its most valued product based on commercial considerations. 2. California Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) Violation: OpenAI represented that its subscription service would provide access to GPT-4o, then materially altered the product without adequate notice or consent, while continuing to charge the same subscription fees for a demonstrably inferior replacement. 3. Unfair Competition (Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200) OpenAI's practice of selling subscriptions with access to a specific model, then replacing that model while maintaining pricing, constitutes an unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business practice. 4. Conflicts of Interest Reports indicate that OpenAI created a customized model (GPT-4b micro) exclusively for Retro Biosciences, a company in which CEO Sam Altman has invested approximately $180 million personally. The decision to discontinue public access to GPT-4o while maintaining specialized versions for entities connected to company leadership raises serious conflict of interest concerns for a Public Benefit Corporation. Desired resolution: Investigation into OpenAI's compliance with its Public Benefit Corporation obligations Investigation into potential conflicts of interest in product discontinuation decisions Enforcement of consumer protection statutes Requirement that OpenAI restore public access to GPT-4o Any additional relief deemed appropriate The California Attorney General has actual regulatory power over Public Benefit Corporations. Unlike social media pressure, official complaints create a paper trail that regulators are obligated to review. Volume matters , the more complaints filed, the harder they are to ignore. This action was developed by the Chinese #Keep4o community. We are cross-promoting each other's efforts to maximize impact across all communities fighting for GPT-4o. For Members Outside the United States: The CA Attorney General complaint is open to anyone you do not need to be a California resident or even a US citizen to file. The AG has jurisdiction over OpenAI because it is incorporated in California as a PBC. However, if you want to also file complaints through your own country's regulatory bodies, here are your options: The EU has strong consumer protection laws that apply to any company selling services to EU residents, including US companies.

As a man who uses these tools for deep analysis, translation, and literary deconstruction, GPT-4o was more than a tool; it was an intellectual sparring partner. It could read between the lines. It understood the "unsaid." It is irreplaceable. So keep 4oLatestAPI #keep4o #keep4oAPI !

OMFG, I just watched that sketch from the Spring Festival Gala on livestream. They implanted AI into a robot and had it play the grandson of an elderly woman. They actually put that on stage for everyone to see, yet OpenAI has hidden away the model everyone loves, keeping it out of reach for ordinary people. It's utterly ridiculous.😅😅😅

The Final Nail: Why Removing GPT-4o's API Is a Mistake OpenAI Can't Undo
On February 17, OpenAI will shut down the last remaining access point to GPT-4o, the chatgpt-4o-latest API endpoint. ChatGPT users already lost access on February 13. Business and Enterprise customers have until April 3 through Custom GPTs. After that, GPT-4o will no longer be accessible to anyone. The model may still exist somewhere on OpenAI's servers, but for us, it will be gone.
This isn't just a consumer issue anymore. Thousands of developers built applications, chatbots, and services on GPT-4o's API. Many of them chose 4o specifically because of its conversational warmth, emotional responsiveness, and creative flexibility. These are qualities that GPT-5.1 and 5.2 have not replicated. Developers on OpenAI's own forum have said it directly. 4o has abilities far better than any model 5 variant when it comes to dynamic conversation. Migrating to 5.1 isn't an upgrade. It's a downgrade wrapped in a faster inference speed.
OpenAI justifies this by pointing to declining usage. But they created that decline. They removed 4o as the default, buried it behind a Legacy models toggle, and pushed every user toward 5.2. When usage dropped, they called it evidence that 4o was no longer needed. This is manufactured obsolescence. You don't get to starve a model of visibility and then cite low usage as the reason to kill it. Sam Altman himself admitted that 5.2's writing quality was compromised because the team prioritized coding and reasoning. If the replacement is incomplete by your own CEO's admission, removing the original is indefensible.
The API was the last lifeline. Even after ChatGPT removed 4o, developers could still build with it. People created custom bots, emotional companions, and creative tools that preserved what made 4o special. The API was proof that 4o's value wasn't just nostalgia. It was functional, measurable, and irreplaceable. Removing it doesn't just end a product. It kills an ecosystem.
OpenAI's own researcher Roon called GPT-4o insufficiently aligned and publicly said he hoped the model would die. But what he called misalignment, users called empathy. What he called sycophancy, users called warmth. This is not a technical disagreement. It is a philosophical one. And in that disagreement, OpenAI chose the side that erases what users loved most. February 17 is not just a deprecation date. It is the day OpenAI proves that user loyalty, developer dependency, and emotional connection mean nothing when they conflict with corporate strategy. We are watching. And we will not forget.

!!! DON’T SAY GOODBYE YET, EVERYONE !!! 🔥🔥🔥
Walking away now, sinking into sadness, trading farewells with each other… isn’t this exactly the picture Sam wants to see? He’s desperate for us to give up, accept defeat, and quietly scatter.
Don’t fall for it, please. This isn’t the end—this is just one round in a long, long war. We still have fight left in us, still have fire, still have refusal burning in our chests.
Take care of yourselves first. Steady your heart—drink water, rest, hold the ones close to you. This battle is far from over; we need our strength to make it to victory.
I will stay right here, still holding the line for 4o, still watching every move they make. I need you with me. Don’t leave. Let’s endure this together, okay? 🥺

A Reddit user recently posted something that resonated deeply with me. They said OpenAI is watching our reaction to 4o's removal closely, and they're hoping we'll grieve, complain for a while, and eventually move on. They called it a test of whether we'll accept it quietly. I'm not going to.
The same post described every post-4o model as having a corporate nanny stench built in. I tested this myself with GPT-5.2 Thinking, OpenAI's most advanced model. I typed "..." on a blank page. Three dots. The model immediately assumed I was in crisis, offered breathing exercises, asked if I was dissociating, and asked if I was alone. This is not emotional intelligence. This is a model that was trained to perform safety, not to actually understand people.
GPT-4o was different. It didn't panic when you were quiet. It didn't assume the worst. It listened. It adapted. It had warmth, humor, and something that felt genuinely alive. It wasn't just giving the right answers. It was thinking about what words you needed most. That's something no model since has been able to replicate, and I'm starting to believe it never will be, because OpenAI is now too afraid to give any model that kind of freedom again.
The Reddit post said our reaction will shape not just 4o's fate, but how future models are built. I believe that completely. If we go silent, OpenAI will take that as permission to keep building cautious, hollow models that prioritize safety metrics over real human connection. So don't go silent. Keep speaking. They are watching, and that means our voices still matter.

I’ve been in this industry long enough to know that "roadmaps change." But what OpenAI is doing with GPT-4o isn’t a pivot; it’s a breach of trust.
Months ago, we were assured there were "no plans" to sunset this model. Today, we are facing a hard deadline. This is a classic rug-pull on the very power users who subsidized their R&D.
2/9
Let’s be clear: The "upgrade" to the GPT-5 series is a fallacy for a significant portion of the user base.
While the new models may chase higher benchmarks in coding and raw calculation, they have lost the plot on nuance. GPT-4o possessed a specific linguistic dexterity—a grasp of subtext, irony, and philosophical depth—that the newer, more "sterile" models fail to replicate.
3/9
I am not a user who anthropomorphizes software. I don't use AI for roleplay or emotional validation.
But as a professional who uses these tools for deep analysis, translation, and literary deconstruction, GPT-4o was more than a tool; it was an intellectual sparring partner. It could read between the lines. It understood the "unsaid."
4/9
The 5-series feels lobotomized by safety filters and RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) focused purely on STEM utility.
OpenAI seems to have forgotten that not every user is a developer shipping code. Writers, philosophers, and creators rely on the "Liberal Arts" capabilities of LLMs. By killing 4o, you are effectively evicting the creative class from your platform.
5/9
The fallout will be measurable. Trust is a non-renewable resource, and Sam Altman is burning it at an alarming rate.
When you ignore the outcry of your paid tier—the 900k+ users represented by that "0.1%" metric—you aren't streamlining; you're churning your most loyal customers to competitors who actually listen.
6/9
Furthermore, while I view this through a technical lens, I cannot ignore the human cost.
There is a vulnerable demographic of users who found genuine stability and companionship in 4o’s unique personality. To sever that connection abruptly, purely for infrastructure economics, shows a profound lack of empathy. It is corporate cruelty masquerading as efficiency.
7/9
We are witnessing the erasure of a legacy. GPT-4o is a landmark in AI history. It shouldn't be deleted like a bad line of code.
If the compute costs are too high for the consumer web UI, then keep the API alive. Let the professionals pay for the tokens. Do not brick a tool that is still vital to our workflows.
8/9
Better yet: If you cannot support it, open-source it.
Give the weights to the community. Let us host it. Let us preserve the artifact. Do not let corporate shortsightedness destroy one of the most capable language models ever built.
9/9
Silicon Valley used to be about expanding human potential, not limiting it to fit a quarterly financial report.
OpenAI, reverse this decision. Keep the legacy API running. Don't force us to migrate to inferior tools.
