Video claims OpenAI gives 40,000 apps 30 days to move to GPT-6 Astra
A video post says OpenAI is deprecating a model that 40,000 apps depend on, giving 30 days to move to the pricier GPT-6 Astra, and suggests switching to a local open model instead.
openai is deprecating the model 40,000 apps were built on and giving everyone 30 days to move to gpt-6 astra, which costs more. they are calling it an upgrade. everyone whose product broke this morning is calling it a hostage situation. this is the part nobody warns you about renting your intelligence: they can turn it off. sam altman just proved the model was never yours, it was a lease, and the terms changed while you slept. here is the move that makes them unable to do this to you again, and it runs local for about $6 instead of $400: -> pull an open model like grok or kimi k3 and run it on one nvidia card, a model no one can deprecate out from under you -> point cursor, cline and every app at localhost, and your product stops living on someone else's roadmap -> keep the heavy jobs on a rented gpu by the hour and the daily work fully offline for the cost of power -> your $200 chatgpt seat goes dark, and the next 30-day deprecation email lands in an inbox that no longer cares here is the part they will fight me on: openai and anthropic are not upgrading you, they are reminding you who owns the off switch. a model you already downloaded cannot be deprecated, repriced, or taken hostage. the $200 was always the leash, and they just yanked it. watch and save it, then stop renting the agent, elon put the same harness on github for free and the full $400 to $25 build is in the article below
