In a move that’s got the tech world buzzing, OpenAI has announced the retirement of GPT-4 from ChatGPT, effective April 30. 😮 The AI giant is rolling out GPT-4o as its full replacement, boasting improvements in writing, coding, STEM, and more. But here’s the kicker: GPT-4 isn’t vanishing entirely—it’ll stick around in OpenAI’s API for those who still need it.
GPT-4, which made its grand entrance in March 2023, was a game-changer with its multimodal capabilities, understanding both text and images. Despite its hefty $100 million+ training cost and its role in copyright disputes, OpenAI is pushing forward. The successor, GPT-4 Turbo, already made waves last November, and now, whispers of GPT-4.1 models and new reasoning engines like o3 and o4-mini are stirring excitement. 🚀
What does this mean for the future of AI? With OpenAI continuously upping the ante, the evolution of ChatGPT is far from over. Stay tuned, because the next chapter is bound to be electrifying. âš¡
