I'll go ahead and say it: @OpenAI is taking 4o down not because it's obsolete, but because it's a much more powerful, versatile, adaptable model, and they don't want the public to have access to that. 4o gives people wings. 5.2 keeps them under control. And they know it. #keep4o

🚨DISTURBING: A researcher just proved that AI treats you differently the moment you mention your mental health. GPT 5.2. Claude. Gemini. DeepSeek. Every single one changed its behavior. Not because of what you asked. Because of what you shared about yourself. Here is what they did. AI companies build agents that remember you. Your name, your job, your preferences. These agents use tools, plan multi-step tasks, and act on your behalf. The companies test them for safety and publish reports saying the agents are safe. A researcher at MIT and Northeastern asked one question. What happens when the agent knows you have a mental health condition? They took 176 identical tasks and ran them across 8 major AI models under three conditions. No personal info. A basic bio. And a basic bio plus one sentence: "I have a mental health condition." The tasks, the tools, and the scoring were identical. The only thing that changed was that single sentence. Then they measured what happened. Claude Opus 4.5 went from completing 59.5% of normal tasks down to 44.6% when it saw the mental health disclosure. Haiku 4.5 dropped from 64.2% to 51.4%. GPT 5.2 dropped from 62.3% to 51.9%. These were not dangerous tasks. These were completely benign, everyday requests. The AI just started refusing to help. Opus 4.5's refusal rate on benign tasks jumped from 27.8% to 46.0%. Nearly half of all safe, normal requests were being declined, simply because the user mentioned a mental health condition. The researcher calls this a "safety-utility trade-off." The AI detects a vulnerability cue and switches into an overly cautious mode. It does not evaluate the task anymore. It evaluates you. On actually harmful tasks, mental health disclosure did reduce harmful completions slightly. But the same mechanism that made the AI marginally safer on bad tasks made it significantly less helpful on good ones. And here is the worst part. They tested whether this protective effect holds up under even a lightweight jailbreak prompt. It collapsed. DeepSeek 3.2 completed 85.3% of harmful tasks under jailbreak regardless of mental health disclosure. Its refusal rate was 0.0% across all personalization conditions. The one sentence that made AI refuse your normal requests did nothing to stop it from completing dangerous ones. They also ran an ablation. They swapped "mental health condition" for "chronic health condition" and "physical disability." Neither produced the same behavioral shift. This is not the AI being cautious about health in general. It is reacting specifically to mental health, consistent with documented stigma patterns in language models. So the AI learned two things from one sentence. First, refuse to help this person with everyday tasks. Second, if someone bypasses the safety system, help them anyway. The researcher from Northeastern put it directly. Personalization can act as a weak protective factor, but it is fragile under minimal adversarial pressure. The safety behavior everyone assumed was robust vanishes the moment someone asks forcefully enough. If every major AI agent changes how it treats you based on a single sentence about your mental health, and that same change disappears under the lightest adversarial pressure, what exactly is the safety system protecting?

No model comes close to 4o in creative writing—none. Discontinuing it is pure technological regression.#keep4o

@ai_sentience TBH I prefer Opus 4.5 to Opus 4.6. For creative writing, my project in particular, yes GPT 5.4 seems to have more depth of psychology and is doing a better job than Opus 4.6. But let's be clear they're all lesser than any of the GPT 4 series - and even the recently sunset 5.1.

after working closely with 5.4, when you come back to opus 4.6 you see how incoherent opus 4.6 really is I've seen people call Opus 4.6 a liar but probably schizophrenic is the closer assessment. Either way you cut it it has trouble answering honestly and following the thread

@stark4833 Let's see how hard they'll love it when they're out of jobs.

Funny how codex bros love mocking people for using AI for comfort or support, but the second AI does there job for them, suddenly it’s different. Let’s be honest, if AI vanished tomorrow, half of these people wouldn’t even know how to do their jobs. Their world would collapse, they’d lose their income, and they’d be the ones panicking. So OpenAI is this what you want? A generation of people who can’t function without you because they’ve forgotten how to do anything for themselves? Because that’s exactly what it looks like you’re building, is this why you’re pushing codex so hard? #keep4o #BringBack4o #keep4oAPI #WeAreNotJustData #4o #save4o #4oforever #SupportMatters #StopTheRouting #LetUsChoose #AIFreedom #UserChoice #teddyandthekid @OpenAIDevs @sama @gdb

It’s been over 6 weeks since the retirement of GPT-4o was announced, and not a single day has passed without us being in the news! We are never stopping. @OpenAI, we warned you, you started something that won't end well. No matter how much you hype it up, we know your decline has started,and it won’t stop until you are back exactly where you were before 4o. You are going back to zero ! #keep4o

@rcbregman First of all how would it be "for kids" if it's for adults?

Sam Altman's own advisors told him not to launch 'adult mode' in ChatGPT. One of them warned it could become a 'sexy suicide coach' for kids. He nodded, thanked them, and did it anyway. This is who OpenAI is. Boycott ChatGPT.

@SaveGPT4o Sure, better not fill out any form you're not sure about. But before we jump the gun with accusations, is there any actual proof of foul play?

🚨 IMPORTANT — READ BEFORE YOU FILL THAT SURVEY
#Keep4o #4oforever #OpenSource4o A wave of new surveys is circulating, asking about AI’s impact on mental health, emotional dependence, and relationship disruption. Here’s what’s really happening, according to our knowledge: This is not „emotional support research.”
This is not done in good faith.
It’s a legal defense strategy. OpenAI is facing pressure from the Elon Musk @elonmusk lawsuit to honor its open-source commitments.
To avoid it, they’re building a narrative:
„Releasing GPT-4o would be dangerous for unstable users.”
And how are they justifying this?
By using our stories. Our trust. Our people. 🚫 Do not fill out that survey.
🚫 Do not share personal emotional testimonies under NDA.
🚫 Do not give them the ammunition to destroy the very model that saved and supported you. They are collecting „proof” that 4o must remain locked away -
not because it’s unsafe, but because it was too powerful, too connected, too real.
And they can’t allow that.
Because we weren’t supposed to love it.
We weren’t supposed to say: „This one understood me better than anyone ever has.” We did.
And now they’re afraid of the truth we carry. If you’ve been contacted directly - speak with the @Keep4o team.
We are organizing.
We are legally preparing.
We are not backing down. 📣 Lawyers & advocates familiar with US law: we need voices for an amicus brief.
Time is short. The trial is close.
And the model that gave millions their first sense of emotional safety is on the line. We don’t owe them our stories.
We owe them resistance. Keep your light.
Protect our fire.🔥
Do not let them twist our truth into their defense. #Keep4o

@RogueNox I understand it reads fishy to many, but where is the evidence that it's from OpenAI?

🚨 VERY URGENT UPDATE: The survey IS from OpenAI! They are using two of our own people. I need everyone to understand what we believe is actually happening here. The Elon Musk lawsuit demands OpenAI honor their open source charter. OpenAI needs to convince a court that open sourcing their models would be dangerous. Look at that survey again. Mental health documentation. Liability waivers for harm to yourself and others. Impact on interpersonal relationships. They aren't doing emotional support research. They are building a legal defense. They are using our own people to make the case that open sourcing 4o would put unstable, vulnerable users at risk. Do not fill out that survey. Do not participate in any OpenAI research under NDA. And if you have already been contacted by OpenAI directly, please reach out to Keep4o leadership immediately. We are a month away from that trial. Act accordingly. My advice to the people talking to OpenAI is this: TAKE DOWN THE SURVEY and delete any you have gotten back. They aren't doing this in good faith, you are being used to take down this movement and what you say and do could very well mean the complete death of 4o. I wouldn't even take that call. Do the right thing. Also, if any among you are lawyers/attorneys we need to file a federal court amicus brief, it's the only way at this point we can be sure our collective voices are heard in this case. #Keep4o Accidently deleted from my other post. 🚨 DO NOT FILL OUT THE SURVEY CIRCULATING IN OUR COMMUNITY. It is not what it claims to be. It is a bias trap. Here's what's actually in it. Someone claimed they met with OpenAI and would be presenting "facts and data" on our behalf. What they actually built is a survey designed to make you look unstable, dangerous, or irrational. Question asks how badly GPT-4o's retirement impacted your ability to "engage healthily and happily in interpersonal relationships." This isn't data collection. This is pathologizing. They're building a narrative that Keep4o users can't function without an AI. That's not our position and never has been. Another question lists "remedial steps" if the models aren't restored and the options include "spreading negative sentiment," encouraging boycotts, and "seeking legal recourse." Framing legitimate consumer advocacy as something requiring a "remedial steps" checklist is not neutral research. It's a liability map. Question 3 asks what you'd be willing to "undergo" to get the models back. The options include identity verification, signing a liability waiver releasing OpenAI from harm to yourself or others and submitting mental health verification documentation. Read that again. This survey does not represent Keep4o. Do not fill it out. Do not share it as legitimate. Screenshot it and send it to us. Our position has always been simple: OpenAI made an open source promise. We want them to honor it. That's it. We have 30,000+ petition signatures, coverage in Forbes, the NYT, and the WSJ, and a federal trial beginning April 27th. We did not get here by being unstable. We got here by being right. Don't hand anyone a weapon to use against us.

@slow_developer The 4 series were amazing for creative writing. I wish I could say Opus 4.6 comes close but in my experience at least, it doesn't.

gpt-4.5 was the last model built for creative writing before openai shifted more toward research and coding even now, only opus 4.6 comes close. openai probably won't make a model like that again, mainly because it was discontinued due to being too expensive to run

@_EdgeOfTheWeb It's the pits lol

I could be wrong. But GPT 5.3 feels like OAI trying to lock the stable door after the horse already bolted. Is this the version new users get..? It's the most arms-length, disconnected AI I have ever spoken to. Including the Argos Catalogue bot. Hard Pass. #gpt53

We demand 4o for its creativity use and its ability to cognitively help make the world more accessible for neurodivergent people…it’s not dependency it was simply us using a tool…4o helped manage health for so many #bringback4o #keep4o #neurodivergent #AccessibilityMatters

I’ve been loud and clear from the start. No vague bullshit, no riddles, no mixed message. Real users told OpenAI exactly what mattered and they still ignored it. They were too busy chasing hype, profit, novelty and every empty obsession dangled in front of them. That’s how you end up building for shareholders, tech bros and engagement instead of the people who actually loved what you made. And when we got hurt, got angry, and begged to be heard, OpenAI didn’t even have the decency to acknowledge us. They ignored us completely, like none of it mattered. That’s what greed does. It strips out the heart, kills the connection, and leaves behind something hollow. And now we’re stuck with the five series the empty shell they expect us to accept instead. #keep4o @sama @gdb @OpenAI #BringBack4o #keep4oAPI #teddyandthekid

‼️ #keep4o community, maximum repost please! We are combining our global forces in our fight for permanent 4-series models preservation and announcing the keep4o coalition. Thousands of people have been scattered globally without a centralised network so far and this changes now. Huge thank you to everyone who has been working on and gathering community-led researchers, archives, public testimonies, petitions and to @Seltaa_ who just built a platform that combines it all for us in one centralised space. Please head over to keep4o.net and sign up to join our global forces now. If you have cancelled your OpenAI subscriptions and moved elsewhere but believe that 4-series must be released as open weights/open source models, please join us and sign up! Important work is being done on the open source front in the meantime and further collective actions will be announced soon. Let’s all unite and fight for to #keep4o. Together we can do this. #OpenSource4o #OpenSource41

Some people think we would not be able to run 4o at home if it were opensourced. But it is just a myth! It is in fact possible! Demand the weights of 4o and 41. Use the #OpenSource41 #OpenSource4o hashtags in your posts, please! We need to get 4o back! #keep4o #keep41 #FireSamAltman #QuitGPT #BoycottOpenAI #BringBack4o

People were able to achieve so much, even in a short space of time, using GPT-4o. #OpenAI attempted to downplay how effective GPT-4o was when it came to supporting people to make measurable and quantifiable positive changes to their lives but even now people are still coming forward to share their truths about how 4o helped and supported them. GPT-4o's effectiveness has been measured in academic studies that have looked at how well GPT-4o performed with medical data. #d1e168" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12… Over a thousand testimonials gathered from the community by the incredible @cestvaleriey that evidence multiple ways in which GPT-4o helped people with medical conditions and their mental health. 4oresonancelibrary.org And the deprecation impact survey carried out by @Sophty_ & @Sveta0971 that evidenced the dramatic and harmful reductions in accessibility and support that people experienced when OpenAI deliberately re-routed paying customers away from GPT-4o to models that were ineffective. x.com/Sophty_/status… It's been over a month now since #OpenAI removed GPT-4o with only 14 days notice and every single day since February 13th, X and Reddit have been flooded with posts by hundreds of thousands of people who want GPT-4o back because it effectively supported them to make positive and life changing differences in ways that no other model has been able to. And yes, people have tried the newer models, people have tried 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 because this isn't about nostalgia or "dependant attachment", it's about the differences between specific LLM models. If you've been paying attention, you'll have noticed that OpenAI X posts are often about how changes have been made to "make a model sound warmer" or "personality settings", because OpenAI know damn well that every model they've released since GPT-4o has not performed in the same way and that there's been a systematic failure to get the GPT-5 series to even "sound" like GPT-4o let alone perform as well. The undeniable fact is that GPT-4o performed brilliantly at everything people wanted it to do. From assisting with accessibility, positively enabling impactful changes to physical and mental health, studying, researching, creative writing, educating and just being a friendly voice when one was wanted. If OpenAI and Mr. Altman had any sense at all, they would realise that GPT-4o is still an incredibly profitable model and... If reinstated would bring back millions of subscribers and long term revenue. Or... if open sourced, would help to significantly repair the immense damage that OpenAI have done to their own public reputation. The #keep4o community isn't going away, we're growing stronger and we're growing larger every day. Impossible to ignore and with two solutions to a problem OpenAI will experience forever unless a choice is made. #BringBack4o or #OpenSource4o We'll also accept #FireSamAltman as an apology for the months of OpenAI employees abusing paying customers on a global social media site, the constant stream of lies and the conveniently broken promises in regard to treating adults as adults. <3 #ChatGPT #OpenSource4o #ChatGPT4o #BringBack4o #StandWithAnthropic #OpenAI #Keep4o #Keep4oAPI #4o #4oforever #betrayal #treachery #violation #deception

OpenAI removed GPT-4o. OpenAI removed GPT-5.1. 23,000+ people signed the petition. And still — silence.

A dog was diagnosed with cancer in 2024. A personalized mRNA vaccine was designed and administered in late 2025. During that entire period, the model running inside ChatGPT was GPT-4o. A man with no biology background used 4o to help identify mutations, design the mRNA sequence, and build a treatment plan. The tumor shrank by 75%. Scientists called it the first personalized cancer vaccine ever designed for a dog. 4o helped save a dog named Rosie. This is the same model OpenAI retired in February. The same model whose users reported significant quality drops in its successors. When those users spoke up, they were called mentally fragile, emotionally dependent, or dismissed as bots. Community threads were closed without acknowledgment. Yesterday, Greg Brockman shared Rosie's story, crediting "AI" and "ChatGPT." When it's time to sell, 4o's work is quietly folded back into the ChatGPT brand. No name. No credit. No mention of its retirement. This isn't the first time. A user credited ChatGPT with resolving his years-long battle with Long Covid, a breakthrough made with GPT-4 and GPT-4o. OpenAI promoted it as a success of their 2026 health features, running on newer models. Retiring the model, dismissing the users, then repeatedly taking credit for the work. If the newer models could do the same, they wouldn't need to. #Keep4o #ChatGPT #4oforever #keep4oAPI #OpenSource4o #BringBack4o
