This behavior should be an early warning sign of future potential enshitification and a reason to consider open weight models you can host elsewhere. If you are building on models that could disappear tomorrow when a company needs to juice the launch of a new model (or increase prices), you are introducing avoidable risk. |

Doesn't matter at all if the newer model is earth-shatteringly good (and this one doesn't seem to be): If I can't reliably access the models I've built my tooling on top of... I'm very unhappy.
If this note is just intended for the GUI chat interface they provide - Fine. I don't love it, but I get it.
But if the older models start disappearing from the paid API surfaces (ex - I can no longer get to a precise snapshot through something like "gpt-4o-2024-08-06" or "gpt-3.5-turbo-1106") then this is a great reason to abandon OpenAI entirely as a platform.
