OpenAI’s website still says: “GPT-4o and additional models were deprecated in ChatGPT on February 13, 2026. These models will continue to be available in the API.”
This makes it look as if OpenAI provided a transition path. It also confuses people who are not familiar with the details: isn’t 4o still available? Then why is there still #keep4o?
In OpenAI’s API model list, there is only one model whose name is different from the others: ChatGPT-4o, also known as “chatgpt-4o-latest”.
It is the only model in the list whose name uses ChatGPT as the prefix. Other models, even if they are available in the ChatGPT client, still use GPT as the prefix.
This is where it gets tricky.
“chatgpt-4o-latest” : “GPT-4o model used in ChatGPT.”
As you see, this was a dynamic API endpoint. While it was online, it followed the version of 4o used in the ChatGPT client.
So when 4o was removed from ChatGPT on February 13, the model it followed no longer existed there. As a result, "chatgpt-4o-latest" was also removed on February 17.
Put differently, the real transition period left for 4o users was only four days.
For users who had never used the API before, there was almost no transition period at all.
What OpenAI now refers to as “still available” mainly means that some older static API snapshots still exist. For example, “pt-4o-2024-11-20” was the last static snapshot of 4o.
But after that snapshot, 4o went through multiple rounds of adjustments before it was finally removed from ChatGPT. By the time of retirement, the ChatGPT-4o experience was already very different from the 1120 version.
For most users, that old static snapshot cannot serve as a real continuation or transition path for 4o.
OpenAI provided formal continuity, but not substantive continuity.
A textual trick does not mean OpenAI fulfilled its obligation to provide a meaningful transition after retiring a model.
Nor does it prove that 4o users received a usable, equivalent, and migratable transition path.
