📢 OpenAI is sunsetting GPT-4o — even for paid ChatGPT Plus users. Would you support keeping it?
It appears that **GPT-4o, OpenAI’s most advanced and beloved model**, is being phased out — not just from the API, but also from ChatGPT Plus for regular users. Originally, the announcement said GPT-4o API access would sunset after June 2026. But now, multiple signs indicate that **GPT-4o is being fully replaced** by newer models in just a few weeks — even for paying subscribers. While progress is great, many users (myself included) feel that GPT-4o offered something *unique* — not just in performance, but in personality, warmth, and consistency. Some of us have built long-term creative projects, emotional support routines, or study workflows with this specific model. Losing it entirely, without even a fallback or opt-in legacy mode, feels abrupt and deeply disappointing. So I wanted to ask: >**Would you support a campaign to keep GPT-4o available — even as a legacy toggle or paid add-on — inside ChatGPT?** This isn’t about resisting innovation. It’s about respecting bonds users have formed with specific models. Many of us are not asking to stop the future — just to preserve a part of the present that meant something real. If you’re interested in showing support (comments, upvotes, feedback), we could organize respectfully and ask OpenAI for: * a “Legacy Mode” switch * an optional GPT-4o add-on, even if it’s a separate paid tier * some way to continue creative or personal projects built with GPT-4o \#Keep4o #LegacyMode #SaveGPT4o
