- Openai says GPT-5 rolls out to all users and replace previous models with immediate effect
- Chatgpt now automatically includes model routing via GPT-5 models
- Enterprise APIs still include access to older models – but not long
After Openais launch of GPT-5, its most advanced model to date, the AI giant has removed a number of previous generation models from its repertoire with immediate effect.
The launch of the GPT-5 has seen Openai officially retired its previous generation models (GPT-4O, O3, O4-MINI and O4-MINI-HØJ) for many users, rather than moving to the GPT-5 default setting across all levels including free accounts.
However, this now means that users will no longer be able to choose from previous generation models to their AI tools, which they may have preferred to specific workloads.
GPT-5 replaces GPT-4O and other previous models
The launch comes when Chatgpt approaches 700 million weekly users, including five million chatgpt, paying users of business product whose life it promises to revolutionize by locking “greater productivity, efficiency and creative output.”
With the launch of Openai’s latest model, users will no longer be able to choose specific models such as GPT-4o for certain tasks where GPT-5 instead promises to be a unified agent who can respond quickly and resonate deeply, all in one place.
Enterprise and EDU users will preserve access to older models for 60 days, with GPT-5 access only one week after its first launch, which means they have only a short time to consider how to continue moving forward.
Companies that use the API will also maintain access to previous generation models that are not planned to be printed for now.
According to Openai’s announcement, GPT-5 can now surpass many workers in about 40 areas, including law, sales, logistics and engineering, with about 45% fewer hallucinations than GPT-4O.
A number of iterations are also launched, including various preset personalities and tones within GPT-5, a deeper GPT-5 thinking and GPT-5 Pro, which is available to Pro-Tier subscribers. The GPT-5 Mini will also serve as a relapse for lower level and free users meeting their regular GPT-5 boundary.
Although the GPT-5 family promises a wide range of applications and improved performance, many business users say GPT-4o’s performance was best for relaxed tasks-a model they will no longer be able to use.
However, the change should come when Openai CEO Sam Altman had previously criticized the model selector for being too complex and hinted at the association.
As the models are improved, including with the launch of GPT-5, Openai depicts a world where companies can realize “better decision making, improved cooperation and faster results about work with high efforts.”
