Option to Choose GPT Version Based on User Needs

Subject: Feature Request:

Dear OpenAI Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am a regular user of the ChatGPT platform, and I wanted to share a suggestion that could greatly enhance the user experience.

Currently, I find myself in situations where I need access to specific features, such as image input, which is only available with GPT-4. However, I also use GPT-4 Mini for standard text-based conversations when image input is not necessary. At times, I am restricted by cooldown periods between switching between versions, which can be limiting when I need specific capabilities, like image input, on the fly.

It would be incredibly helpful if there were an option to freely switch between different GPT versions (e.g., GPT-4 and GPT-4 Mini) based on user needs. This flexibility would allow users to access the features they need while avoiding unnecessary cooldown restrictions.

I believe this would significantly improve the overall experience for many users. Thank you for considering this suggestion, and I look forward to any updates you may have regarding this feature.

Best regards,
