GPT-6.1 Terra became available the same week through Netlify's AI Gateway, Vercel's AI Gateway and GitHub Copilot, and tools such as Paperclip let teams plug in their own model gateways. From November 20, OpenAI's usage policies require prior review and approval for routers, gateways and other services that give third parties access to its models. Builders who reach OpenAI through a third-party gateway now depend on that gateway keeping its approval.
