I'd be pleasantly surprised - GPT-4o is their bread and butter (it powers paid ChatGPT) and QA seems to be slightly ahead on benchmarks at similar or lower latency (so very roughly, it might be cheaper to run).

DeepSeek V3 and R1 are about as good (or even slightly better than) 4o already though, so OpenAI wouldn't really lose much by such a release.
