GPT-4o

OpenAI
closed / Overall score: n/a

GPT-4o is OpenAI's 2024 multimodal model, taking text and image input with a 128K context window and an October 2023 knowledge cutoff. It remains a live model in OpenAI's API, without released weights, and is not deprecated there: only its first snapshot, from May 2024, is scheduled for removal, on October 23, 2026. OpenAI withdrew GPT-4o from ChatGPT in February 2026.

    Artificial Analysis states "GPT-4o (Nov '24) is a proprietary model and OpenAI has not disclosed the model size or parameter count" and measures it only on the vendor endpoint - "generates output at 167.9 tokens per second (based on OpenAI"; no open-weights provider is listed.

    OpenAI API model page describing GPT-4o as "is our versatile, high-intelligence flagship model" that "accepts both text and image inputs, and produces text outputs", sold per token ("Pricing is based on the number of tokens used") and pinned through API snapshots ("Snapshots let you lock in a specific version of the model"). Searched the body for weights, download, open-weight and Hugging Face: none, and no training corpus or training code is published.

Adoption

not assessed

GPT-4o is still a live API model, but OpenAI publishes no usage count for it, and ChatGPT's user figures no longer describe it: GPT-4o has left ChatGPT, which now runs on the GPT-6 family. No level is assigned until a count of GPT-4o's own use appears.

    OpenAI's API model page lists GPT-4o as a current model, "our versatile, high-intelligence flagship model", with the gpt-4o alias and the gpt-4o-2024-08-06 and gpt-4o-2024-11-20 snapshots available and only gpt-4o-2024-05-13 marked Deprecated. Searched the body for users, requests, tokens served and any usage count: none.

Capability

3 medium confidence
3.0

GPT-4o was OpenAI's multimodal flagship in 2024 and is still served through the API, but it now sits far below the current frontier, including OpenAI's own GPT-5 and GPT-6 lines. On the Artificial Analysis index it scores close to Llama 4 Maverick and below the median for comparable models, which places it alongside Llama rather than among the leading models.
