About GPT-4o

GPT-4o was the May 2024 release that made native multimodality the default for OpenAI users. It powered the original Realtime voice API, the first ChatGPT voice mode rollout, and a generation of multimodal product launches.

It remains in heavy production use throughout 2026 because of API stability, many integrations were built and validated against it before GPT-5 shipped.
