title: "STOP Paying for GPT, Claude, & Other LLMs - Get them ALL in One Place"
description: "Instead of paying for separate GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama subscriptions, a single unified multi-model chat platform (ChatLLM by Abacus.AI) gives access to all the top LLMs plus extra features for a fraction of the cost."

[Cole Medin](../entities/people/cole-medin.md) frames a common pain point for AI developers: the best coding tools ([bolt.new](../entities/tools/bolt-new.md) and Fragment for scaffolding; [Cursor](../entities/tools/cursor.md) and [Cline](../entities/tools/cline.md) for in-codebase edits) still leave a gap where you just need a ChatGPT-style interface to reason through a specific or high-level problem. But every frontier LLM lives on its own platform behind its own $20/month subscription, so power users end up paying for and juggling several. He pitches ChatLLM (chatllm.abacus.com) as a single $10/month platform that exposes all the top models ([Claude](../entities/tools/claude.md) 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, [Llama](../entities/tools/llama.md) 3.1 405B, [Gemini](../entities/tools/gemini.md) 1.5 Pro, o1) without the punishing rate limits.

The bulk of the video is a feature walkthrough demonstrating that you not only lose nothing by consolidating but gain capabilities the native apps lack: web search, document and image attachment (including from OneDrive and Google Drive), artifacts and playground code preview that works even under GPT-4o (which ChatGPT itself does not offer for GPT), audio and video summarization (transcribing both audio and visual content), image-to-code generation, image and video generation, PowerPoint and doc generation, URL scraping, and screenshotting your screen for context.

A recurring theme is that the platform's explicit action buttons (generate code, generate image, take screenshot, and more) let you deliberately direct the LLM toward the output you want rather than hoping the default chat interface infers it. Cole closes by noting ChatLLM is team-based (invite collaborators, share prompts and conversations) and connects to external platforms like Teams, Jira, Confluence, Google Drive, and Slack via connectors.

## Key moments

- **[0:00:00]** AI dev tool landscape: Bolt.new/Fragment scaffold codebases, Cursor/Cline edit in-codebase, but you still need a chat interface for specific/high-level problems
- **[0:00:34]** The pain: every LLM lives on a separate platform, each ~$20/month
- **[0:01:02]** Introduces ChatLLM: one platform, $10/month, all top models, rarely hit rate limits
- **[0:01:46]** Begins the platform walkthrough at chatllm.abacus.com (first month free)
- **[0:02:21]** Model picker shows Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, Llama 3.1 405B, Gemini 1.5 Pro, o1
- **[0:03:58]** Artifacts/playground works even with GPT-4o, something chatgpt.com does not allow
- **[0:05:25]** Video summarization: processes both audio and visual content of an uploaded clip
- **[0:06:38]** Image-to-code: attach a website image, GPT generates matching HTML/CSS
- **[0:07:44]** Action buttons (generate code/image, screenshot, PowerPoint, video, URL scrape) direct the LLM's output
- **[0:08:39]** Team-based platform + connectors to Teams, Jira, Confluence, Google Drive, Slack
