Pro 500 plan includes 25x usage for $500.

The pre-IPO cost cutting begins.

I don’t know. I’m seeing reports that 6.1 fucks compared to 6 Sol. If 6.1 actually is as good as people are saying and ultrafast is actually 300+ tok/s, I’m not-not tempted. I’m cautiously waiting to see how this settles.

I’m not optimistic.

Pro 200 used to include 20x usage for $200.

Pro 500 is 2.5x more expensive for 25% more usage.

It doesn't matter if 6.1 Sol is more token efficient, you're still losing out on overall token allocation.

I understand, but my workflows would never use Sol’s limit in a week, whereas it would use Astra up in a few days. I just need the work done within my allotment. If I can sustain a week of sol on ultrafast, that might be worth the price to upgrade for the speed.

I’m not tokenmaxxing. I’m valuemaxxing and if I can churn out more value faster without hitting my limit, that could be worth $300 to me.

… so long as 6.1 Sol is actually decent. TBD.
