ChatGPT is about to lose these AI models soon
You’ll soon have fewer AI models to choose from when chatting with ChatGPT. OpenAI recently announced that it will soon discontinue several of the AI chatbot’s older GPT models.
In two weeks, on Friday, February 13, OpenAI will remove GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and OpenAI o4-mini models from ChatGPT. The removal of these older models is unlikely to affect most users, with OpenAI claiming that most users have moved to GPT-5.2 (and GPT-4o is only used by 0.1% of users daily).
This is not the first time the AI company has abandoned GPT-4o. The AI model was replaced in August last year by GPT-5, but OpenAI brought it back after user backlash. The criticism sparked by this fiasco is said to have shaped the development of the company’s latest AI models.
