Why are we getting rid of the variants and 4o when we all have unique communication styles? Please bring them back!
ok, we hear you all on 4o; thanks for the time to give us the feedback (and the passion!). we are going to bring it back for plus users, and will watch usage to determine how long to support it.

Would you consider releasing some model weights, and publishing some research?
yes, we are discussing. i personally think we have been on the wrong side of history here and need to figure out a different open source strategy; not everyone at openai shares this view, and it's also not our current highest priority.

About how many emails do you send / receive per day?
I receive about 1200 and send about 200. When people ask me what my job entails I just say "email".
