OpenAI: GPT-4o
GPT-4o is a previous OpenAI omni chat snapshot, not the 2026 latest model. Rechecked 2026-08-18: developers.openai.com/api/docs/models now says start with GPT-5.6 Sol (gpt-5.6-sol). The still-listed GPT-4o card prints $2.50 input / $10.00 output per 1M tokens (cached input $1.25), aliases gpt-4o, gpt-4o-2024-08-06, gpt-4o-2024-11-20, and marks gpt-4o-2024-05-13 deprecated. Drop leftover latest AI model / twice as fast as GPT-4 Turbo / 50% cheaper crown / im-also-a-good-gpt2-chatbot.
Compare GPT-5.6 Sol if you wanted the live frontier, OpenAI if you wanted the company page, and o1-mini if you wanted the leftover cheap reasoning twin.
Key Features
- Still listed, not the start-here model: Docs still describe GPT-4o as a versatile high-intelligence GPT. The models index now starts at GPT-5.6 Sol / Terra / Luna.
- Printed dollar row: $2.50 / $10.00 per 1M on the GPT-4o card we opened. Recheck before you reuse leftover Turbo comparisons.
- One dated alias is deprecated:
gpt-4o-2024-05-13is marked deprecated on that card. - Website is the model card: Point at the developers model page, not a generic openai.com homepage claim that it is latest.
Use Cases
- People with a GPT-4o bookmark who need the catalog corrected.
- People comparing leftover GPT-4o $2.50/$10 vs live GPT-5.6 Sol $5/$30.
- People who were about to call GPT-4o the 2026 latest OpenAI model.
Limitation: We did not re-run leftover speed or non-English crowns.

Hook OpenCode Go into Codex on Windows. Do Not Open a Second Toolkit.

You already pay for OpenCode Go, Grok, and Z.ai, but the Codex picker still shows mostly GPT. The community project codex-router does not teach another install ritual. It puts subscriptions you already bought back into the selector, keeps keys on the machine, and leaves native GPT alone.
