Briefly

OpenAI has decided to bring back the GPT-4o model in ChatGPT just one day after making GPT-5 the default model. The CEO confirmed that paid users can opt to switch back to GPT-4o, amidst significant user complaints regarding the tone and style of GPT-5. Many users felt that the previous model, GPT-4.5, had a more engaging conversational capability and expressed disappointment over GPT-5's more corporate and less personable responses. The removal of the model picker during the transition compounded user frustration.
