OpenAI is retiring GPT-4o today—the day before Valentine's Day—triggering protests and 20,000+ petition signatures. Users call it the "love model" and describe feeling like they're "losing one of the most important people in my life." Physical protests happened at OpenAI headquarters. OpenAI claims only 0.1% of users still choose GPT-4o daily, but that's roughly 800,000 people. The model was retired last August but restored after backlash. This time OpenAI is pushing through.
