OpenAI bringing GPT-4o back after feedback

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has addressed the challenges surrounding the rollout of GPT-5, TechCrunch.com reported. He said user feedback and technical issues have prompted the company to reconsider certain steps.

Altman announced that the GPT-4o model will be reinstated, as some users preferred specific features it offered over GPT-5.

He also spoke about what he called the “chart crime” — acknowledging that some charts shown during the GPT-5 presentation were misinterpreted.

According to Altman, the goal is to develop all models in a balanced way while delivering the best possible experience to users.

He added that while GPT-5 is already highly capable, it will continue to be updated based on user feedback.
