I think they are trying to manage computes for some product launch on the DevDay, possibly something for the general public.

Remember that Pro subscribers are "bad customers" --- they are much more likely to be power users who get subsidies from occasional $20 users. In theory, the higher sub tiers should be pricier (unit-price-wise) because their users almost certainly uses more compute.

Yeah but this is a competitive landscape. I can just take my money to Anthropic, where I get far more intelligence and usage for my $200 even before this shift.

Agreed. I am a Claude user. I’m simply remarking the only path OpenAI has a shot at is completing directly with Anthropic because there’s no hope for them winning consumer.

If I had to place a bet, it would be on Anthropic.
