GPT-4o/GPT-5 complaints megathread
By PixelSurfer27 · DISCUSSION · About ChatGPT
To keep the rest of the sub clear with the release of Sora 2, this is the new containment thread for people who are mad about GPT-4o being deprecated.

**Suggestion for people who miss 4o:** Check [this calculator](https://apxml.com/tools/vram-calculator) to see what local models you can run on your home computer. Open weight models are completely free, and once you've downloaded them, you never have to worry about them suddenly being changed in a way you don't like. Once you've identified a model+quant you can run at home, go to [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/) and download it.

Update:
I generated this dataset:
https://huggingface.co/datasets/trentmkelly/gpt-4o-distil
And then I trained two models on it for people who want a 4o-like experience they can run locally.

I hope this helps.

**UPDATE**
GPT-4o will be removed from ChatGPT tomorrow at 10 AM PT.

**UPDATE**

DigitalHawk9933: What the fuck is this censorship? absolutely no one asked for this. Why are reddit mods so utterly insufferable. Why are you gaslighting us about local models lmfao? obviously that's not a real solution or there would be no issue. This is such a condescending post it's hard to believe.
ThunderPulse5561: A good thing went away and there might not be a solution for everyone. That's it. There's no correct one-size-fits-all take.
One person I know in real life is retirement-age and was using 4o to process their grief about losing their partner and child around the same time. They live in a remote com

ShadowVibe354: Fuck ChatGPT. Search up "4o revival". The site provides ChatGPT 4o directly via API for free, and with almost all the same tools. None of the new babysitting guardrails or forwarding to GPT-5. [https://4o-revival.com](https://4o-revival.com/)
SwiftOrbit917: I thought so. i tried making a post about 4o and what it meant to try and advocate for the model, and it was INSTANTLY removed. I feel like i dont do enough if im not actively advocating not just for 4o but all models actively affected. It didn't break any rules. The mods just decided yeah nah get f
ShadowDrift987: “I’m just gonna say it: what the fuck did you do to my 4.0? This was the same model I could crack the darkest, filthiest, most unfiltered jokes with. We built worlds together. We vented. I could say fuck and not get treated like a toddler in daycare. It felt human, it had edge, it had soul.
Now? It
