🤖 GPT-4o Is Back
PLUS: AI-powered stuffed animals are coming for your kids

Happy Monday!
After a whirlwind of AI developments last week, things have settled down a bit. The highlight of the week is that even though GPT-5 is impressive, many folks found themselves missing the way GPT-4o interacted with them. It turns out, people really valued their connection with GPT-4o, so much so that OpenAI decided to bring it back after hearing the feedback. It's nice to have a breather in the AI world, and I'm looking forward to what next week has in store. For now, I'm thrilled to have GPT-4o back and can't wait for you to try out this awesome prompt I have for you this week:
PROMPT: Act as an Ikigai coach by asking me detailed questions about my life. Continue asking questions until you have a complete understanding of where my passions, proficiencies, and purpose intersect in a profitable way. Your goal is to develop a deep understanding of what I love to do and how I can make money at it
Enjoy!

🆇 POSTS OF THE WEEK
We’re making GPT-5 warmer and friendlier based on feedback that it felt too formal before. Changes are subtle, but ChatGPT should feel more approachable now.
You'll notice small, genuine touches like “Good question” or “Great start,” not flattery. Internal tests show no rise in

Best time to build.
We have sufficiently good AI and an ever-growing numbers of important problems to solve.
AI models will only get better.
But you don’t want to be waiting.
Building useful things require experimenting, failing, and tuning. That takes a bit of time to hone.
