GPT-4o 🧠 Models

GPT-4o is 💤 Quiet on Above the Fog’s AI hype radar: a hype score of 13 out of 100 on Oct 29, 2026, 2 points lower than 7 days before. Its attention is within the normal range across the monitored sources.

In the news: Before everyone blames GPT-4o for Bowen Wan's death, look at Paragraph 136 of the complaint. Which model was actually running on the backend? — Reddit · Oct 29

First seen on Reddit · Oct 21 — the first monitored source to go above normal for it in the last 14 days.

Why this stage: within the normal range across monitored sources.

Data note: 7 of the last 14 days were not collected live. No collection ran on Oct 22–Oct 28, or a later run refilled those days at once. Every hype score is measured against the 14 days before it and those days are thin, so the scores, the stages and the week-over-week theme trends may read higher than they are until they leave that window on Nov 12.

Where the attention comes from

“Normal” is the median of the source’s previous 14 normal days for this topic. A source is above normal when its value is at least 30% over that level and stands out from its usual day-to-day variation (z ≥ 2); the share is the part of the hype score that source explains. “× normal” is left blank when the normal level is 0.
