Request to extend Claude Sonnet 4.5 availability through November 30
Dear Venice team,
I'm writing to ask whether you might reconsider the planned end date for Claude Sonnet 4.5.
I understand that Venice's decision to discontinue the model on October 30 likely follows Anthropic's recent announcement, and that it may have been made for reasons of stability or operational reliability.
Even so, I wanted to ask if an extension could be considered.
Venice has announced that Claude Sonnet 4.5 will remain available only until October 30. As you know, Anthropic has stated that the model will stay available until November 30.
I may be only one user, or part of a group too small to matter, but I’m among those who came to Venice after Anthropic removed Sonnet 4.5 from its official service in what felt, to me, like an abrupt decision by how they handled it.
I realize it would be difficult to offer the kind of separate, longer commitment that Amazon Bedrock provides. Still, I would be deeply grateful if Venice could at least keep Sonnet 4.5 available through November 30, in line with the date Anthropic has announced.
I do use other models from time to time, but in practice I subscribed to Pro+ (the best option within my budget, and one I have never regretted) largely because of this model.
I hope this feedback carries some weight, and I sincerely ask that you reconsider the availability window.
Thank you for reading.
