The Operai CEO, Sam Altman, and several other researchers and engineers arrived in Reddit the day after debuting the powerful new GPT-5 AI model for the traditional Tradition of Anything Me Anything. thread.
Although the discussion varied above all kinds of technical elements and products, there were some issues that stood out as particularly important for posters based on frequency and passion with which they were discussed. These are some of the most notable things we learned from Openai loves.
Set for GPT-4O
The largest recurring theme in the AMA was an unfortunate laminate of the users who loved GPT-4O and felt personally attacked by their elimination. That is not an exaggeration, as a user published: “Bring 4o GPT-5 carries the skin of my dead friend.” To which Altman replied: “What … evocative image. Ok, we listen to you in 4th, working on something now.”
This was not just an isolated application. Another publication asked to maintain GPT-4O and GPT-4.1 together with GPT-5, arguing that the oldest models had different personalities and creative rhythms. Altman admitted that they were “investigating this now.”
Most of the requests were a little more subjected, and a poster asked: “Why do we get rid of the variants and 4th when we all have unique communication styles? Please, bring them!”
Altman’s response was brief but direct when he granted the point. He wrote: “Ok, we listen to them all in 4th; thanks for the time to give us the comments (and the passion!) We are going to bring it back to the more users and we will see the use to determine how long to support it.”
It is interesting that so many heavy users seem to prefer the style of the oldest model and prefer the newest newest.
Filtering history
Another big topic was the chatgpt security filter, both currently and before GPT-5, so many published complaints for being too enthusiastic. A user described a scenario in which they had been marked to discuss historical themes, with an answer about the indicated and eliminated from Gauguin because the artist was a “sex plague”, and the user’s own clarification question was marked.
Altman’s response was a mixture in agreement and reality. “Yes, we’ll continue improving this,” he said. “It is a difficult legitimate thing; the lines are often sometimes blurred.” He stressed that Operai wants to allow “very wide latitude”, but admitted that the limit between insecure and safe content is far from perfect, but that “people, of course, should not be prohibited to learn.”
New level
Another interrogator focused on a gap in the OpenAI subscription model: “Are you planning to add another plan for solo energy users that are not pros? $ 20 the plan offers too little for some, and the level of $ 200 is excessive.”
Altman’s answer was succinct, simply saying: “Yes, we will do something here.” There are no details, just a confirmation that the idea is on the table. That brevity leaves open possibilities from ‘next week’ to say ‘the discussion begins now’. But the price gap is a big problem for advanced users who are limited by the level more, but they cannot justify business prices. If OpenAI creates an intermediate level, it could remodel how dedicated individual users get involved with the platform.
The future
At the end of the AMA, Altman shared new information about the current and future state of Chatgpt and GPT-5. He began admitting some problems with the launch, writing that “we expected some bacin by displaying so many things at once. But it was a little more full of potholes than we expected!”
That potholes ended up making GPT-5 seem as impressive as he should have done so far.
“GPT-5 will seem smarter from today,” Altman wrote. “Yesterday we had a Sev [severity, meaning system issue] And Autoswitcher was out of service for a part of the day, and the result was GPT-5 seemed more silly. “
He also promised more access for Chatgpt Plus users, with twice the tariff limits, as well as the next GPT-4O performance, at least for those same subscribers. The AMA painted a clearer image of what Openai is willing to change in response to public pressure.
The return of GPT-4O for users more at least recognizes that unprocessed capacity is not the only metric that matters. If users are this voice about keeping an older model alive, future GPT-5 versions and beyond can be designed with more deliberate flavors integrated beyond the promised personality types for GPT-5.
