Since openai removed access to 4.5, I am looking for something comparable from any other company.

Personally, I used it when 4o was not good enough. 4.5 was way better at research and doing more complex programming tasks.

What is comparably good in your experience?

Damn, about GPT 5, I was afraid of this. My personal favorite was o4-mini-high which had nice thinking, could easily research stuff and was pretty versatile. It sucks.

They released a FOSS model that isn't too bad but not great either, so that's that. Didn't expect them to make that move. I believe there are far worse companies that OpenAI, but they're really not perfect, I agree. They lack transparency and it's painfully obvious.

This seems really good! I like the pricing model. Will try it out, thanks a lot for sharing!

You're welcome! Paying by prompt and having access to many models is really nice. I only used OpenAI's stuff because I couldn't be bothered to make accounts on other website with their weird interfaces... so having a place where I can anonymously pay, that claims not to store conversations, and has a lot of models where you pay by prompt, it's great.

I do hope that they enforce their privacy stance though. They claim they ask the companies not to use the data you input, but you rely on the company who provides the model. Good thing they have TEE models, but there's still them in the way, which you can't be certain of (even though they say it's provable, which isn't?)

It seems globally well seen in the privacy ecosystem of cryptocurrency, so there might not be anything better currently. And they embrace the NANO cryptocurrency which I discovered. Bad for privacy, but a fabulous crypto (no tx fees, eco friendly)
