GPT-4 has officially retired, Sam Altman bids farewell

On May 1st, OpenAI founder Sam Altman stated, "Goodbye, GPT-4, you have sparked a revolution. We will proudly preserve your weights on a special hard drive, which will be given to some historians in the future." Previous reports indicated that GPT-4 was "completely replaced" by GPT-4o starting in May, but GPT-4 will continue to be available through the API. OpenAI claims that in face-to-face evaluations, 4o consistently surpasses GPT-4 in writing, coding, STEM, and other areas.
