Actually you can't do "system" roles at all with OpenAI models now.
You can use the "developer" role which is above the "user" role but below "platform" in the hierarchy.

They just renamed "system" to "developer" for some reason. Their API doesn't care which one you use, it'll translate to the right one. From the page you linked:
> "developer": from the application developer (possibly OpenAI), formerly "system"
(That said, I guess what you said about "platform" being above "system"/"developer" still holds.)
?? What happens to old code which sends messages with a system role?
