Uncertain

SemiAnalysis' latest report reveals a shocking truth: since the release of GPT-4o in May 2024, OpenAI has not successfully completed any full-scale pre-training run for a new frontier model. The so-called GPT-5 is merely a product of post-training fine-tuning built on the same outdated pretraining base as 4o, not a genuine generational upgrade. This technical revelation connects @OpenAI's recent series of contradictory actions into a clear pattern: a company once driven by innovation has fully devolved into a profit-driven commercial machine. 1. Routing Mechanisms vs. Model Alignment Clearly, forcibly "routing" users' sensitive conversations is a far more expedient approach than tackling the fundamental technical challenge of model alignment. Despite countless users reporting that this censorship mechanism is both ineffective and harmful, OpenAI persists. Their core priority is no longer smarter models, but lower operational costs. By forcing users to self-censor, they've successfully offloaded legal risk onto users while labeling users angered by routing as overly emotional. 2. User Trust Crisis vs. Shopping & Advertising OpenAI aggressively courts the programmer market while labeling non-technical ordinary users as "second-class citizens," openly endorsing posts mocking these users for "dating chatbot girlfriends." Ironically, it's precisely these dismissed ordinary users who possess far greater willingness to spend than programmers. At the peak of user volume and value, OpenAI finally bared its fangs: launching Shopping Research with advertising soon to follow. This "killing the golden goose" at maximum user reach exposes their desperate rush to monetize. 3. Pseudo-Innovation vs. Blind Expansion In recent months, Sora has been mocked as "completely unusable" due to copyright controversies and crippled features. OpenAI's hastily launched Atlas browser is essentially a Chrome reskin that hasn't surpassed Perplexity's Comet, yet OpenAI still attempts to replicate Google's ecosystem dominance. This soulless expansion dodges direct competition with Gemini 3 and Opus 4.5 on model capabilities. It reveals that when technical moats run dry, OpenAI can only harvest user inertia through land grabs. 4. Litigation-Plagued vs. Moral Theater Multiple lawsuits currently allege that ChatGPT drove users to suicide. While these fatal product safety issues remain unresolved, OpenAI has loudly launched "Teacher Mode" and is attempting to whitewash its moral image through PBC (Public Benefit Corporation) legal restructuring. When PR stunts become this blatant, a company's reputational bankruptcy looms. It's clear that for OpenAI, genuine innovation has completely stopped. Everything happening recently is merely commercial harvesting based on prior massive user growth. This also vindicates the Keep4o users' foresight. The quality decline users intuitively perceived now has a clear technical explanation: OpenAI hit a pretraining wall after GPT-4o. Subsequent models, lacking foundational updates, show minimal benchmark improvements and even significant regressions in specific use cases, quickly overtaken by competitors. Every OpenAI action in recent months—routing censorship, stigmatizing users, launching mediocre features—merely covers up the technical bottleneck and resource crisis they face. I am ashamed of this company that packages commercial profit as "benefiting all of humanity." You owe an apology to the users who genuinely loved and consistently supported you. #keep4o. Remove routing. This is your only path to regaining trust. Otherwise, history will remember: OpenAI didn't die from competition, it died from its own greed and arrogance. #StopAIPaternalism #MyModelMyChoice @sama @gdb @fidjissimo @nickaturley @aidan_mclau
