Hi All!

gpt-4o got another update, curently: `chatgpt-4o-latest` is the one that’s ranking the highest on lmarena, is this what the current gtp-4o in the model selector points to? As setting `chatgpt-4o-latest` in the model screen as a custom model currently isn’t working.

Thank you!

Hey, yes, the gpt-4o model points to the latest model.

Sorry to clarify, there is a difference between gpt-4o and chatgpt-4o-latest

The chatgpt-4o-latest is the current ‘best’ version as used in the web chat.

I’m unable to set the model difference between gpt-4o and chatgpt-4o-latest in the model screen.

Thanks for the clarification!

No, the latest model is still unavailable via the API, it is only accessible in the ChatGPT web interface. The most recent model used in Cursor is gpt-4o-2024-11-20.

It is currently available via the API, I have tested this both via the API and it seems stable in the playground. The purple bar is a test API request I just made. Any chance of letting us add this to the models list?

Thanks for your prompt responses!

If you ask for the knowledge cutoff date you will be able to tell which version you have.

My knowledge cutoff date is October 2023.

vs June 2024 for the new one.

Now you can add this model to Cursor, and it will work: `chatgpt-4o-latest`.

It’s not working now. It gives me an API error.
