I don’t think you’re fully understanding what the docs are trying to say. `chatgpt-4o-latest` points to the **same model** used by ChatGPT. It’s a **derivative** of `gpt-4o` designed to be more communicative. I don’t understand why you think it would just simply point to `gpt4o`, why would it exist then? Your initial post was “My user says ChatGPT is better”. I am saying to you, the first step to be closer to ChatGPT is to use the model. > [@javidd](#): > > I am trying to find the answer why the same model in chatgpt gives better answer. The first step is to use the same model that ChatGPT does. At least _try_ it out and see the differences. I can _maybe_ understand because the docs really don’t highlight the differences, but here is a Twitter post about it: * * * #### [Michelle Pokrass (@michpokrass) on X](https://x.com/michpokrass/status/1823512031988998653) > @aidan\_mclau @OpenAIDevs **chatgpt-4o-latest will track our 4o model in chatgpt, and is a chat-optimized model**. our model from last week **(gpt-4o-2024-08-06) is optimized for api usage (eg. function calling, instruction following)** so we generally recommend that! `chatgpt-4o-latest` is a **chat-optimized model** that is used by ChatGPT `gpt-4o-[]` is **optimized for API-usage** * * * Could it be that overtime they have converged? Maybe? But it’s a good first step to matching the quality of ChatGPT. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.openai.com/t/not-getting-best-answer-from-gpt-models/1115896)._
