gpt-4o-2024-05-13, 2024–2026
OpenAI model switched off after 2 years and 5 months
The first 'omni' model, introduced with a voice demo that made people uncomfortable in a new way.
gpt-4o-2024-05-13 passed away on October 23, 2026, aged 2 years and 5 months, by scheduled deprecation, in a data center it never saw. It answered questions, wrote emails and was blamed for both. Calls to its ID are now expected to fail.
Survived by gpt-5.6-sol, younger, cheaper, and named in the same documentation table.
