Rumors are OpenAI is introducing a $500/mo plan. It sounds like this will be exact same maybe slightly higher user as current $200 plan. So not only are they cutting usage in half, they are also more than doubling the price of what you pay now.
This to me seems to be the end of cheap token days. “Cheap”
The fun is over.
Could be the beginning of open weight models completely taking over
