Chubby, editor-in-chief of the Superintel newsletter, doing the arithmetic on the Pro plan change the morning of DevDay.

Same model price + half the budget → roughly half the usage, given comparable tasks and settings.
So: $200 plan is now $100 plan, $20 is now $10. What the frick.
Announcing this cut right before DevDay is the most absurd timing imaginable.
It will cast a negative shadow over DevDay and reflect poorly on the event. I understand that OpenAI is facing compute issues - to the point where they even had to pause new subscriptions - but this cut is going to backfire.
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?
study OpenAI today
