Scope of this record
GPT-4o is an OpenAI API model, not a separately registered ChatGPT tool. It was retired from ChatGPT in February 2026 while remaining available in the API; the former pricing, support and compliance claims are not supported by current official material.
What to identify before choosing
Developers who need the API should use the official model page for modalities, context and current token pricing. ChatGPT-facing guidance should no longer present GPT-4o as a current selectable product.
What remains unknown
Specific plans, regional prices, account permissions and real-world results still need verification. The former brand-level description did not establish that all features belong to one product. This page does not provide a single price, software rating or audience recommendation.
Suggested verification steps
Write down the specific task and product name, then check official entry points, licenses and limits. Use a non-sensitive example to inspect results and record costs and manual correction time. These are proposed checks, not completed hands-on testing.
Record status
This correction only addresses scope and legacy copy using sources checked 2026-09-06. Independent market review and final page disposition remain open. It is not admission approval or a rename to another product.
