Don’t Like ChatGPT 5? Here’s How to Revert to GPT 4o
1 min read
Summary
Following the launch of ChatGPT 5, users have noticed a dip in the model’s creativity and warmth when compared to its predecessor ChatGPT 4o.
To combat the dissatisfaction, OpenAI brought back the ability to swap back to the older version for Plus subscribers, but free users are still capped to the new model.
This workaround allows PC users to re-enable their access to ChatGPT 4o, but the toggle to show legacy models disappears after you exit the menu, meaning you only need to activate it once.
If you don’t have a paid subscription, consider using Gemin AI, which offers similar features to ChatGPT 4o, or Lmarena.ai, which lets you choose from a range of AI models for free.
There is hope for free users yet as OpenAI might re-add the ability to switch back to older models.
