OpenAI is preparing to retire its GPT-4 model from ChatGPT on April 30, 2025, marking a significant transition as the company advances its AI technology. This change will see GPT-4o, the "omni" model, replacing GPT-4 as the default for ChatGPT users. The GPT-4o boasts enhanced capabilities, including improved handling of text, images, and audio inputs, alongside faster and more natural conversations. While GPT-4 will no longer be available within the ChatGPT interface, it will remain accessible through OpenAI's API for developers and enterprise users.
OpenAI is also gearing up to launch a suite of new AI models, including GPT-4.1, o3, and o4-mini, aiming to enhance the performance and efficiency of AI across various applications. GPT-4.1 is described as an upgraded version of GPT-4o with improvements in speed and accuracy. The o3 model is presented as a powerful reasoning tool, excelling in complex math and science problems, while the o4-mini offers similar capabilities at a lower cost. These models are designed to cater to different needs, from everyday use on mobile devices to specialized applications in sectors like healthcare and finance. Meanwhile, OpenAI is embroiled in a legal battle with Elon Musk, who has filed a countersuit accusing the company of "unlawful harassment." OpenAI alleges that Musk has engaged in press attacks and malicious campaigns to harm the company. This legal conflict underscores the tension surrounding OpenAI's transition from a non-profit to a for-profit entity, with Musk claiming the company has abandoned its original mission for the benefit of humanity. Despite this, OpenAI recently secured a $40 billion funding round, intending to further AI research and development. References :

OpenAI has recently launched new audio features and tools aimed at enhancing the capabilities of AI agents. The releases include updated transcription and text-to-speech models, as well as tools for building AI agents. The audio models, named gpt-4o-transcribe and gpt-4o-mini-transcribe, promise better performance than the previous Whisper models, achieving lower word error rates across multiple languages and demonstrating improvements in challenging audio conditions like varying accents and background noise. These models are built on top of language models, making them potentially vulnerable to prompt injection attacks.
OpenAI also unveiled new tools for AI agent development, featuring a Responses API, built-in web search, file search, and computer use functionalities, alongside an open-source Agents SDK. Furthermore, they introduced o1 Pro, a new reasoning model, positioned for complex reasoning tasks, comes with a high cost, priced at $150 per million input tokens and $600 per million output tokens. The gpt-4o-mini-tts text-to-speech model introduces "steerability", allowing developers to control the tone and delivery of the model. References :

OpenAI is reportedly planning to unify its AI model offerings into a single system, streamlining the user experience. According to CEO Sam Altman, this move aims to provide varying levels of intelligence, with free users gaining access to "standard intelligence" while paid subscribers can access "higher intelligence" tiers. The company acknowledges the current complexity of its product lineup and seeks to return to a more unified and intuitive AI experience.
Elon Musk, leading a consortium of investors, made a $97.4 billion bid to acquire OpenAI's nonprofit entity. This move could complicate OpenAI's ongoing transition into a for-profit structure, a shift the company claims is necessary to secure the capital required for developing advanced AI models. However, OpenAI's board unanimously rejected Musk's takeover bid, further intensifying the existing tensions between Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. References :
