SMEs, particularly, small businesses don’t fit into OpenAI’s enterprise category and they would like to use OpenAI’s leading model such as GTP-4o API.
BUT, such endpoint (https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions) regardless of model is TOO SLOW, it usually take about 8 seconds to respond, that is UNACCEPTABLE. And it’s been going on for too long.
If OpenAI keeps on turning a blind eye to the problem that adversely affects millions of developers, many of us would seek alternative.
