OpenAI Brings Back GPT-4o After User Revolt Over GPT-5 Switch

OpenAI is bringing back GPT-4o as an option for ChatGPT Plus users just one day after replacing it with GPT-5, following intense user backlash and complaints about the sudden change.

Details:

• Reddit users voiced strong attachment to GPT-4o, calling it more personable than GPT-5. In r/MyBoyfriendIsAI, some said they’d “lost” a companion, describing GPT-4o as having “a voice, a rhythm, and a spark” missing in GPT-5

• Many also disliked practical changes. OpenAI removed the model picker, forcing GPT-5’s auto-routing. Users said GPT-5 was slower, less accurate, and disrupted workflows that relied on different models for creativity, logic, and research

• CEO Sam Altman said Plus users can still use GPT-4o for the time being. He pledged to make GPT-5 “seem smarter,” be clearer about which model is used, and raise Plus usage limits, though older models’ future is uncertain

This rapid reversal demonstrates how deeply users can connect with AI personalities and highlights the risks companies face when making sudden changes to beloved digital experiences without warning their paying customers.

Apple Intelligence Stuck on GPT-4o Until iOS 26 Despite GPT-5 Launch

Apple Intelligence users will have to wait until iOS 26 to experience OpenAI's newly released GPT-5 model, despite the AI upgrade being immediately available to regular ChatGPT users.

Details:

• Apple confirmed that their ChatGPT integration within Apple Intelligence will continue using GPT-4o until the release of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26. Currently, this integration helps power certain Siri queries and works alongside Apple's Visual Intelligence feature

• OpenAI announced GPT-5 on Thursday and made it available to all ChatGPT users, including those on the F-R-E-E tier. The company reports that ChatGPT serves approximately 700 million users weekly

• Apple has only stated that their next major software updates will arrive in the "fall," with a likely launch next month. However, it remains unclear whether GPT-5 will be included in the developer or public betas of these upcoming updates

Apple Intelligence users may wait nearly a year longer than ChatGPT users for OpenAI’s latest AI, showing the gap between direct service updates and integrated platform rollouts.

How to Build a Personal Finance Map with ChatGPT (That Actually Works)

Budgeting isn’t just about tracking where your money goes — it’s about designing your finances so they work for you.

Most people stop at “recording numbers,” but the real power is in turning those numbers into decisions.

With ChatGPT as your planning partner, you can build a budget that’s tailored, flexible, and strategic—and actually enjoyable to stick to.

-

1.Build Your Personal Finance Map

Instead of a vague income-expense list, create a full financial map: income streams, fixed bills, variable expenses, debts, subscriptions, and irregular costs.

Ask ChatGPT:

"Can you create a detailed questionnaire to capture my complete financial picture, including recurring and seasonal expenses?"

Pro tip: Include “once-a-year” items like car insurance renewals or holiday spending so they don’t derail your budget later.

-

2. Detect Hidden Spending Patterns

Beyond “needs vs. wants,” spot leaks like unused subscriptions, impulse buys, or lifestyle creep.

Ask:

"Can you help me break my spending into categories like fixed needs, flexible needs, lifestyle choices, and leakage expenses?"

This lets you see exactly which areas quietly drain your money.

-

3. Set Multi-Layered Savings Goals

Don’t just have one savings number — separate into short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals.

Ask ChatGPT:

"With an income of [X] and essential expenses of [Y], can you give me a savings breakdown for emergency fund, near-future goals, and long-term investments?"

This way, you’re not just saving — you’re saving with purpose.

-

4. Build a Dynamic Budget Template

A static spreadsheet gets boring. You want something that adjusts with your life.

Ask:

"Can you create a monthly budget template that includes projected vs. actual spending, plus a running balance for each category?"

In Excel or Google Sheets, this lets you see trends over time instead of starting fresh every month.

-

5. Find Strategic Cutbacks (Without Feeling Deprived)

It’s not just about “spending less,” it’s about spending smarter.

Ask:

"Can you suggest 5 creative ways to cut costs that also give me more value or enjoyment for less money?"

Example: Swapping gym memberships for home equipment, bulk meal prep, or group streaming accounts.

-

6. Build an Adaptive Review System

Your budget isn’t “set and forget.” It should adapt to changes in income, bills, or lifestyle.

Ask:

"Can you create a monthly review checklist that includes: over/under budget analysis, savings progress check, and a plan for next month’s adjustments?"

This transforms your budget into a living system that evolves with you.

-

ChatGPT isn’t just helping you track money — it’s giving you a financial feedback loop that makes your budget smarter every month.
