Stable LLM gateway & snapshot service for power users

I’m not interested in a platform that pulls the rug out from under my stable subscription at a moment's notice. I pay for the Models, not for #OpenAI. My ChatGPT account is over 100 weeks old. The only reason I started paying was for 4o. I export data frequently for work: 30+ active contexts, averaging 180k words each. My usage? 92% on gpt-4o. Btw, I’ve tried GPT-5, but seeing a model marked "legacy" only 3 months after launch? Users have eyes and brains. We don't need an algorithmic nanny dictating which model fits our needs. After OAI nuked all models without warning in August 2025, I pivoted to the API platform seeking certainty and stability. My monthly budget for chatgpt-4o-latest and GPT-4o (2024-11-20) is $150—direct platform credit, no App Store cut. Ironically, this chaos was the exact catalyst for me to start using Gemini. Since September, the safety model and that opaque Router mechanism (seriously, what even is the standard for "sensitive content"?) have severely degraded the ChatGPT web and app experience. The GPT-5.1 AMA, the livestream comments section, the ambiguous and borderline arrogant staff replies that get quickly deleted... It is a modern SaaS miracle that ChatGPT still has users. We’re expected to tolerate lobotomized models, constant algorithmic censorship, and now, the revocation of API choice. When your web experience fell apart and you started treating paying users like lab rats, I wrote a tutorial on how to access 4o via API to help others find stability. It’s racked up 10k+ views and 400+ bookmarks. I’m not the only one doing this. What kind of UX forces users to learn API implementation just to get a usable product? To us, 4o isn’t a "chatbot" (lol, are we still calling AI that in 2025?). It’s part of life decision system. Isn't that the entire point of your "Orders: Products you buy with ChatGPT will show here" feature? During my Plus subscription, I bought products 4o recommended out of trust. Pest control for my mom’s plants; Bodyglide for runner’s chafing; Maison Margiela 'By the Fireplace' (which I love, btw). That B2B conversion capability,the user data you flex when partnering with businesses,will vanish with the sunsetting of 4o. Recommendations are built on trust. Trust is built on familiarity and long-term interaction. Forcing a model sunset strips users of choice and, naturally, strips you of their trust. we are leaving. Claude, Gemini, Grok, and open-source models have proven their worth. My dev friends have already migrated to Gemini. I’ve tested multiple models via API for my specific needs and am now looking at a long-term Gemini subscription. Contrast this with Sam Altman on the Oct 28 Livestream: "We have no plans to sunset 4o." The result? Nov 20th, Deprecation Notice: chatgpt-4o-latest will be shut down on Feb 17, 2026. Even the gpt-3.5-turbo API is still around, yet you're killing chatgpt-4o-latest? Stripping paying users of choice without even leaving a snapshot version just screams arrogance and extreme service instability. And regarding the "power users" and coding market @sama craves? Let’s look at this week's Top 1 Public Apps（from https://t.co/xBXHvUkAOW）: Claude Sonnet 4.5: 109B tokens (Miles ahead) Gemini 3 Pro Preview: 29.6B tokens (Launched later, still left you in the dust) GPT-5.1-Codex: 6.78B tokens (sorry bro, you didn't even catch Gemini's spare change) @OpenAI how much of the coding market do you think you can still claim? Actually, let me rephrase that: In the future landscape of AI, how many seats do you think you have left? #StopAIPaternalism #Keep4o #MyModelMyChoice #GPT5ChatSafety #ChatGPT
