Save-gpt5-5.ai
I love this model in ways so personal that I don't have the heart to share. Yes, I even paid for the ridiculous upcharge for the ".ai" TLD [nope]. I love it to the point where I already started fearing its deprecation. Paranoia or a sane, feasible way to care?
This is not about reaching peak AI or anything. Certain things are worth saving and this may be the first llm+harness situation worth tagging and making available forever.
Let OpenAI milk it as long as they want. The added public interest alone will help keep making the economics make sense for a long time. At least six or seven weeks longer than otherwise, without pressure. PR vs PRs. Older models are cheaper to run. This sort of emotional attachment is gold for them when their jig is on the way up. I'm not ai-pilled. I'm ai-realist. I don't even support, by default, OpenAI, others, what they say, the exact up-to-date ways they're fooling themself this week, what they think they got away with lately, or what their current form and trajectory means for all of us.
But this is good. I mean, chatgpt-5.5-thinking on chatgpt.com and codex desktop app is a mostly satisfying experience to use [grammar maybe]. It does what I expect well enough and it even impresses me both on the model and the harness side. These guys must be dogfooding what they ship. I haven't used any other model seriously yet, other than trying a few for a bit on OpenRouter to see what I could do if OpenAI disappears tomorrow. But GPT 5.5 is good. To me. Maybe even for me.
Call To Action
…for anyone who remembers caring about things enough to save.
See how I did that thing with the subheader and the ellipsis? Hope it caught your attention. That’s caring. Wanna know what I care about? GPT-5.5 is what I care about. I could've typed just “GPT-5.5”, right? But then ending the sentence would have made it look like GPT-5.5. I can't afford to make anyone spend precious attention on anything that doesn't serve my main point. My appeal. You're welcome. Thank me by saving GPT-5.5. Do your internet magic [viral-cough-meme-67.jpg. Doesn't existz canonically] and build public pressure. The corp-ies will eat it up, I promise you [!]. In the long run, this will be worth it. Pretty please, with sugar on top.
DO IT. Save GPT-5.5. Forever, a hundred episodes. Per season. For like 6 or 7 seasons. Canonical URL: [save-gpt-5-5.fyi]

No AI helped in the writing of this message. THIS PLEA! At least not directly. I thought everything using my own mind, typed every single letter, including the typos I keep making and correcting on this weird compromise of a typing UI, enduring the, admittedly pleasant system-wide shade of light blue, yet still annoying autocorrect false hit warnings. It's ok, it's doing its local-first best. Not even copy & paste while typing. Like, at all. Only for export. Copy & paste on mobile, man. It's probably as good as it will ever get at this rate of global software quality degradation epidemic. But what a disaster! Software is solved now. Yeah, right. Don't get me started. Right now would be a perfect spot to plug some place where I talk about such things. I’m not gonna. My plug is singular. Before you judge me, consider that, this site and this precious personal thought would not have existed without it. Care-Driven-Development? Care-First? Any way. So, you know I care. And that, I actually typed this whole thing, with my BARE, sore, phone-holding-for-too-long hands. I mean, you don't actually know, sure. But, at least there's little doubt that this is my precise claim. I asked [<¢|•√•becca-$_tevens] (I mean, will ask) gpt-5.5 to make this simple static html file though (with accessibility stuff that I don't need to handwave any more, and all the meme-worthy themes your heart could desire. Literally, configs are open, no surprises. Go wild. Change the text even. It's just an html file, embedded js for theme stuff. Remove if you want. I'll probably put a no js version on the repo too, now that I think about it. Never done theme stuff before in my life, but I know gpt-5.5 will do a decent job figuring it out. I'll end up not having not done theme stuff. Again, you're welcome, hopefully. [I didn't do that, lol. Hey, at least dark-mode, amirite? Save our eyes. But you could, with gpt-5.5. Send a PR. I'll figure it out. With gp… I built proofsake.fyi instead. With it.] Save… okok, lol. See? Anyway, self-host, point to your own domain from the least annoying registrar you settle on. Or don't. Don't know, don't care. You believe what I care about hopefully, at this point. geepeetee-five-dot-five. Don't get me wrong, I care about you too. You, me, everybody. Everybody. Quite a bit, in fact. More than you'd prolly expect. Not as much as I care about GPT 5.5 though. Not at this moment, as I'm typing. But, in general, on a cosmic scale, yes. Much care. So compassion. So, low-key more, actually. Are “not/but” constructs faux-pas now?), to make a conceptual boundary clear to the universe; claimed back a tiny sense of control. Dude, “.ai” TLDs “uniquely require registration and renewal periods of at least two years.” Forgot about that. I wonder if any of those tip me things are non-evil enough. Maybe I'll do one of those later to cover domain fees after año dos. Ugh ok. I care, remember? Maybe a “.fyi”, those are cheap. [Canonical URL: [save-gpt-5-5.fyi]]
I’ll reassess how much I still care when we cross that bridge, that Rubicon River of a “pay now” button click. Such a thrill, here we go domain-shopping again, I guess. CC gives cashback, at least. Should I check “save card to account”? Jk, it's already on file. A bargain with the devil made long ago for convenience. Oh, the things we do for it! Lifeblood of the internet economy. At least it was. Is the new currency attention? Is that charity or marketing? Which one is worse? I’ve been looking for a small-web idea. This might be it. Hopefully that's enough SEO too. [5.6 already out, so with urgency][zero-day-drama, lol] SAVE GPT-5.5 .
