OpenAI has recently announced that it will soon remove the GPT-4 model from the ChatGPT platform. This change will take effect on April 30, and from that date onward, users will no longer be able to access GPT-4 within ChatGPT. Instead, the more powerful and advanced GPT-4o model will be used.
GPT-4o is currently OpenAI’s most advanced artificial intelligence model. According to the company, GPT-4o outperforms GPT-4 in areas such as written communication, coding, problem-solving in scientific and technical fields, and overall conversational abilities. Moreover, GPT-4o is faster and requires fewer computing resources, making it more efficient for both users and developers.
However, GPT-4 will not be completely discontinued. It will still be accessible through OpenAI’s API, allowing developers to continue using it in various applications. It simply will no longer be available on the ChatGPT platform designed for general users.
This decision is part of OpenAI’s broader strategy to continually upgrade its AI models and provide users with more powerful technology. The company is also working on a new family of models called GPT-4.1 — including GPT-4.1-mini, GPT-4.1-nano, and GPT-4.1 — as well as reasoning-focused models named o3 and o4-mini.
In conclusion, this transition aims to deliver a higher-quality and more powerful AI experience for users, and it is expected that more technological advancements will be announced in the near future.
