  • Immediately checked [GitHub copilot](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/copilot-billing...) to see if I can actually afford to use sol at work now, and see it listed at 2/10, which is less than Terra. An error, maybe?

  • I'm not a cost expert for all the models. My usage is low enough not worry about it. However, I noticed today how expensive GPT 5.5 is. I realized GPT 5.6 was already cheaper before the price reduction and it's the newest model. I figured the newest shiny model should be pricier.

    Are the older models supposed to get cheaper over time or do they stay expensive to encourage people to stop using the old stuff?

  • Does this mean a commensurate increase in subscription usage limits?

  • It is absurd for the Chat Latest (chat-latest) model to now be pricier than Sol. For those who prefer a non-thinking instant model, it is the model of choice, not Sol.

    Also, they have done nothing for the TTS model which remains ridiculously priced.

    is altman playing 4d chess or something I'm not aware of?

    because from the outside, each of these moves looks pretty bad on the face of it

  • Or put differently, when lobbying doesn’t make you competitive you have to lower your prices.

  • This is a play to grab market share from Claude, But it seems Claude code is too strong of a brand

    Until the IT managers and CFOs cut budget hard, Claude will live rent free in heads of all developers

    OpenAI should attack the CIO and CFOs stat

    At my company we have unlimited codex and claude, still people stick to gimped claude code

  • Even if you don't want to use open models, you should cheer for them anyway because it puts the American frontier labs' feet to the flames. This competition is awesome for us consumers.
