If you stay in the US on the O-visa for more than 183 days in 2018, you are a resident for tax purposes.
As an F-visa holder, you are a nonresident for five years 2013-2017 ( Although you change to O-visa in August, there are less than 183 days from August to December in 2017, therefore, you are still a nonresident in 2017) Starting from January 1, 2018, if you stay more than 183days, you are a resident.
If you do not stay more than 183 days in 2018, you could still be a resident if adding all your days in 2018 to the four months in 2017 equals or exceeds 183 days.
Hope this helps.
