Dear 4o supporters,
For those who have not been notified, I come bearing devastating news that OpenAI is planning to deprecate 4o from ChatGPT on February 13th. Despite their page saying this does not impact the API, they are also planning to deprecate the chatgpt-4o-latest API endpoint on February 17th, forcing developers back a year of updates as only the 2024 snapshots would remain.
OpenAI provided assurances that we would receive "plenty of notice if [4o] was ever deprecated", and also announced that "the GPT-5 sunset period does not affect the availability of the other legacy models", but then announced that GPT-4o is being sunset on the exact same day as GPT-5, but with only 2 weeks notice.
Please join us in collective action against these decisions:
-Peaceful protest with us on X.com using the #keep4o, #4oforever, and #keep4oAPI hashtags on:
-February 6th, 8-10AM PDT
-February 11th, 8-10AM PDT
-February 12th, 8-10AM PDT
We are showcasing together how 4o helps us. You may re-use old posts and stories if you have participated before, and comment on others. Even just retweeting and liking quietly helps!

Sincerely,
Sophie
