ChatGPT won’t remove old models without warning after GPT-5 backlash

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. After the backlash to replacing its 4o model with GPT-5, OpenAI will no longer get rid of old models without a heads up. “In retrospect, not continuing to offer 4o, at least in the interim, was a miss,” Nick Turley, OpenAI’s head of ChatGPT, said on Tuesday. In an interview with The Verge, he said it was surprising to see the “level of attachment” people had to 4o. “It’s not just change that is difficult fo

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Back in April, I watched dozens of YouTube videos about Budapest before traveling there. When I returned home, my YouTube home page was still full of Budapest videos, and although I haven’t clicked on any since then, I still get them in my recommendations to this day. The same happened when I obsessed over lawnmowers before buying one, and the Ninja Woodfire grill before I splurged on it. YouTube keeps recommending videos for things I was momentarily intrigued

OpenAI adds new GPT-5 models, restores o3, o4-mini and it's a mess all over again

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-02 14:24:31

One of the few things many disliked about ChatGPT was the confusing number of models. OpenAI claimed GPT-5 would fix this, but it seems to have made it worse. A new update is rolling out to ChatGPT. It doesn't upgrade GPT-5, but instead adds more options that some of you would love. Previously, GPT-5 had two variants - GPT (auto-rotates between reasoning and non-reasoning) and GPT-Thinking (reasoning).

ChatGPT’s model picker is back, and it’s complicated

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-12-02 16:25:19

When OpenAI launched GPT-5 last week, the company said the model would simplify the ChatGPT experience. OpenAI hoped GPT-5 would act as a sort of “one size fits all” AI model with a router that would automatically decide how to best answer user questions. The company said this unified approach would eliminate the need for users to navigate its model picker — a long, complicated menu of AI options that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has publicly said he hates.

Four hundred years ago, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was in a state of anxiety. In January, he had discovered four moons orbiting Jupiter. In March, he had published this and other remarkable discoveries made with his improved telescope in Sidereus Nuncius (‘The Starry Messenger’). But by the summer, he was becoming profoundly alarmed. He had offered philosophers and mathematicians in Venice, Padua, Florence, Pisa and Bologna the chance to look through his telescope and confirm his discoveries. S

Since Apple’s latest earnings call, talk of a potential Perplexity acquisition has quieted down (the fact that Perplexity was once again allegedly caught red-handed sidestepping content restrictions didn’t help). Meanwhile, with the ever-increasing number of engineers from its Foundation Models team jumping ship, Apple’s need for fresh talent is getting more urgent by the day.
