The artificial intelligence community has been in an uproar since OpenAI made a radical decision: removing GPT-4o<\/a>, along with other models like o3, to impose GPT-5<\/a> as the sole model since August 7, 2025.<\/p>\n

This announcement triggered a wave of discontent among users, who expressed themselves forcefully on social media, notably X and Reddit, deploring the loss of a model they considered unique for its versatility and warm “personality.”<\/p>\n

In response to this outcry, at Yiaho, we want to offer an essential solution by providing free and unlimited access to GPT-4o<\/a>, OpenAI o1, GPT-5, and over 70 other AI models, without registration or fees!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The removal of GPT-4o: an outcry in the community<\/h2>\n

During the launch of GPT-5, OpenAI surprised everyone by announcing that this new model would immediately replace GPT-4o and other earlier versions. This decision, driven by a desire for standardization, was perceived as a heavy blow by many users who had grown attached to GPT-4o. <\/p>\n

Introduced in the spring of 2024, GPT-4o was celebrated for its multimodal capabilities (text, images, audio), its conversational fluidity, and its engaging tone, often described as “almost human.” Whether for writing creative texts, coding, analyzing data, or simply chatting, GPT-4o had won over a wide audience, from students to professionals to those who used it as a digital companion. <\/p>\n

Removal of GPT-4o: The unease<\/h3>\n

On X, reactions were immediate and stinging. Users called the removal of GPT-4o a “disastrous decision” and an “abandonment of loyal users.” A viral post on X summarized the general sentiment: “GPT-4o was perfect for writing, coding, and even cheering me up. GPT-5? It’s like talking to a soulless robot.” <\/p>\n

On Reddit, a discussion thread titled “Why did they kill GPT-4o?<\/em>” gathered over 5,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments within hours. Users there deplored the loss of GPT-4o’s “warmth” and creativity, criticizing GPT-5 for responses judged to be more mechanical, less nuanced, and sometimes too concise. <\/p>\n

Some even shared personal anecdotes, like one user who wrote: “GPT-4o helped me manage my anxiety by responding with empathy. GPT-5 makes me feel like I’m talking to a manual.”<\/p>\n

The discontent doesn’t stop there. Free users, in particular, felt betrayed because OpenAI limited access to GPT-4o to paid ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscribers, while imposing strict quotas (even Plus subscribers, with 400 messages per week, complain about restrictions). <\/p>\n

Sam Altman<\/a>, CEO of OpenAI, tried to calm the storm via a post on X, announcing a temporary reinstatement of GPT-4o for paid subscribers and adjustments to make GPT-5 “more expressive.” But for many, these measures are insufficient, and free access to GPT-4o remains a distant memory on the official platform. <\/p>\n

Yiaho: the oasis to find GPT-4o and more!<\/h2>\n

It is in this context of frustration that Yiaho arrives as a saving alternative! Our French platform, designed to democratize AI, offers free and unlimited access to GPT-4o, OpenAI o1, GPT-5, and over 70 other models via the official OpenAI API. <\/p>\n

Unlike ChatGPT, which now restricts GPT-4o to paid users, Yiaho allows everyone, without exception, to continue using this much-loved model, as well as other cutting-edge AIs, without financial or technical barriers.<\/strong><\/p>\n
