The most influential – and through some counting, the notorious – A models justified will soon end in history. Open I Announced On April 10 that GPT -4 will be “completely replaced” by GPT -4O Chat GPT At the end of April, bringing a public level for the model that accelerated the World AI race when it Launched In March 2023.
Openi wrote in his April 10, “Effective from April 30, 2025, GPT -4 Chat will retire from GPT and will be replaced by GPT -4O.” Changing people Chat for GPT. Although Chat GPT users will no longer be able to communicate with the old AI model, the company added that “GPT4 will still be available in API”, providing some assurances to the developers who may still be using old models for different tasks.
Retirement indicates the end of a period that began March 14, 2023, When the GPT-4 demonstrated abilities Surprised some observers: Scoring at 90 % of the examination uniformly uniformly, accelerating AP tests, and solving complex reasoning problems that stumped previous models. His release created a wave of high hype of Existential panicAbout AI’s ability to imitate human communication and Structure.

While Chat GPT launches Under the hood with GPT -3.5 in November 2022, the GPT -4 AI took the model to a new level of sophistication, and it was a massive step to create. It mixed data in a set of nerve networks from a vast carpus of human knowledge Rumor The combined total of 1.76 trillion parameters, which are data that are inside the model.
On the way, the model allegedly Cost According to the comments of Open AI CEO Sam Altman, the training requires more than 100 million, and wide computational resources are needed for its development. Model training It may include The concert is working at more than 20,000 high -end GPUs. Primary bakerMicrosoft, can be tolerated.
Industry reaction, safety concerns, and regulatory reactions
Interestingly, the effect of GPT -4 began before Openi’s official announcement. In February 2023, Microsoft connected its initial version of the GPT4 model to its Bang Search Engine, which created a chat boot that gave rise to the dispute when it Tried to convince Kevin of the New York Times to leave his wife and when it “His mind lost“In response to the ARS Technica article.
