Not your server, not your waifu
They leave me, just like in real life :( /s
14 days is not a long time between announcement and removal. This press article picked up on it even later/shorter. (Predictably. It takes time for the info to spread.)
If these are the models most damaging to vulnerable people their deactivation seems like a good thing though.
The free chatgpt switches to mini after x prompts in a conversation. What will it switch to now?
The horrible names of these things…

OpenAI is discontinuing
Should’ve ended it right here.
Meanwhile clamping down on usage and pricing. Seems they’re speed running enshittification.
Aren’t they killing one of the models that people developed a cultlike affection for?
4o works fairly well on duck.ai I wonder if it’ll go away soon too.
do they still have a mini. I had heard they made it more distributed though with the main model querying specialist domains so maybe that replaces the need for a mini.
