There is literally no alternative.

You’re stuck with openai, and you’re stuck with whatever rules, limitations or changes they give you.

There are other models, but specifically if you’re actively using gpt-4 and find gpt-3.5 to be below the quality you require…

Too bad. You’re out of luck.

Wait for better open source models or wait patiently for someone to release a meaningful competitor, or wait for openai to release a better version.

That’s it. Right now, there’s no one else letting people have access to their models which are equivalent to gpt-4.
