Sam Altman, OpenAI's chief executive, a week before DevDay. OpenAI went on to announce more than twenty things on the day.

(As a side note, getting ready for this DevDay is the first time I remember ever, in OpenAI history, saying "this is too much stuff to launch".)
klöss on where the anger over the plans actually came from, at the end of the day.

people aren't mad OpenAI launched a $500 plan
they're mad Tibo spent weeks hyping GPT-6.1 Astra like it would solve all your life's problems, just to then not ship it
they're mad GPT-6.1 Sol dropped one week after GPT-6 Sol (rushed???), and most devs are still reaching for Opus 5.5
they're mad the team knew today wouldn't land without GPT-6.1 Astra yet hyped it like the second coming of Jesus
and they're mad OpenAI sold us a 20x plan for $200, cut it to 10x, then asked for $500 to get 25x on the same day Tibo said "a lot of compute is online"
want a crash course in max aura loss?
