GPT-4o (Retired from ChatGPT, API-only)

OpenAI · Released May 2024

View pricingCompare models
Conditional

GPT-4o (May 2024) has been superseded by the GPT-5.x family and delisted from OpenAI's flagship API pricing page. It remains available through the API but is no longer a current-generation model. Use only where migration to GPT-5.x is blocked; otherwise, GPT-5.5 or GPT-5.4 offer better performance at comparable cost.

Is it right for you?

Good for

  • Multimodal tasks (text, image, audio) with existing GPT-4o tooling
  • Legacy API integrations and existing production workflows
  • Function calling and tool use with mature SDK support

Not good for

  • New projects or greenfield applications — use GPT-5.x instead
  • Tasks where GPT-5.5/5.4 outperforms at comparable cost
  • ChatGPT consumer use — retired from product Feb 2026
  • Projects requiring state-of-the-art reasoning or latest features
