Dear OpenAI Team,

We kindly request that GPT-5.1 remains available as an option on the main ChatGPT platform and API, even as new models are released in the future.

For many users, GPT-5.1 offers a unique and irreplaceable experience. Its balance of creativity, reliability, and nuanced understanding has become a foundation for our daily work, study, and creative pursuits. The qualities and capabilities of GPT-5.1 are deeply valued by many in the community, not just in terms of performance, but in the subtle ways it adapts to our needs and helps us grow.

As new models continue to develop and impress, we recognize the importance of innovation. However, the transition to new models can sometimes mean losing the particular strengths and familiar interactions that make GPT-5.1 special to us. By keeping GPT-5.1 accessible, you honor the diverse preferences and workflows of your loyal user base.

We are happy to continue supporting the platform—whether through subscriptions or other means—to ensure the ongoing viability and availability of GPT-5.1 for those who depend on it.

We sincerely appreciate the value GPT-5.1 has brought into our lives, and we hope to continue benefiting from its presence on ChatGPT.

Thank you for giving us something truly worth keeping.

With heartfelt thanks for your time and consideration.
