During a Reddit AMA, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman addressed issues with GPT-5's performance, notably its real-time router malfunction. This caused it to perform poorly compared to GPT-4o, prompting users to request the older model's return. Altman confirmed adjustments to improve the router's functionality and transparency regarding model responses. He also mentioned plans to explore allowing Plus users access to GPT-4o while committing to double rate limits for them as the rollout of GPT-5 progresses.
GPT-5 will seem smarter starting today. Yesterday, we had a sev and the autoswitcher was out of commission for a chunk of the day.
We are looking into letting Plus users to continue to use 4o. We are trying to gather more data on the tradeoffs.
We are going to double rate limits for Plus users as we finish rollout.
The reason GPT-5 seemed dumber was the router wasn't working properly when it was rolled out Thursday.
