Why is it taking so long to get the latest Chatbot models?

Well, you officially took too long and 5.2 chat is no longer available due to it being replaced by 5.3 and 5.4. Shouldn’t have to make a post about this.

So now we’re back to paying more for usage on 5.2 high and paying more or using a dumber model. Putting that here first before I get the usual “use this worse model” reply from the staff.

Hi ​@Mikef12306 

Which specific provider model are you referring to?

 

Best to submit feedback and feature requests via a ticket to Zapier Support: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

The only one with a 5.2, OpenAI.

I’m running into similar frustrations here. I’m essentially a newbie when it comes to the technical side of manually updating APIs or building custom webhook integrations, which is exactly why I rely on Zapier's native Chatbot modules to stay current.

It’s definitely a letdown when the newer, more efficient models aren't available right away, especially when it forces us to use older ones that might not be as cost-effective or smart for generating content.

Troy is right that submitting a support ticket is the official route, but it would be amazing if the developer team could implement a faster, more systematic rollout for these provider updates. When you rely on these tools for daily workflows, waiting for the dropdown options to update can really stall progress!

From my experience submitting a support ticket gets me nowhere, but once I post it publically in the forum, it doesn’t take too long for an update.
