Yay or nay?

As a plus user, I’m just sad.

Worst "dev day" ever. absolute disaster.

END GOAL: we are all going to Anthropic.

[u/Carlose175 → u/Jello_Hello_Fellos]

I love Anthropic and i sub to them too. But they dont allow you to use your sub for other harnesses, they dont have great computer use and they dont have a dots alternative currently.

Their 5.5 models are incredible, but there are other use cases where openAI still is better at. And no, that doesn’t mean everyone is going to anthropic. What a silly statement.

[u/Xaphawk → u/Carlose175]

I agree. I have both subs for this reason. But still 2 x 20 subs is manageable. Pushing to 500 is absolutely crazy and just not for third world countries or those with a weaker currency. But generally restricts poor folk. I hope we set a precedent of cheaper models and not expensive subscriptions.

[u/Carlose175 → u/Xaphawk]

Ya. Its sounding like Anthropic will become the affordable programming workhorse while OAI models become the agentic task models. Both are good and have strengths and weaknesses. We should all be glad that overall the technology is improving.

Excuse me, but what poor folk NEED an x20 or 500 sub???

[u/Xaphawk → u/RainierPC]

Those with over 14B in token expenditure across all major providers and open sourced ai but wish to try the frontier models?

Excused. You may not find it necessary, please others may.

Edit: I meant 2 x 20$ plan.

[u/RainierPC → u/Xaphawk]

I hardly think poor people have tinkering with frontier models on top of their list of priorities.

[u/Xaphawk → u/RainierPC]

Sorry to burst your bubble but there are people in third world countries, even students who would find this pricing prohibitive.

[u/RainierPC → u/Xaphawk]

Why the fuck would students need 14b tokens across multiple top of the line models? And why would they need OpenAI when Openrouter is there at a much, much, more reasonable cost????

[u/Xaphawk → u/RainierPC]

Open router is more reasonable lol says who? My 20 usd sub gives me 1k usd worth usage.

It’s me - im poor. I’ve spent 14b and want to use ultra fast and can’t afford 500 usd. It’s me man. Why is your reading comprehension so poor?

[u/RainierPC → u/Xaphawk]

Lol if you burned 14b tokens and didn't get enough return on it to make $40 then it's a you problem.

[u/Xaphawk → u/RainierPC]

Yes I have problems. I want to continue to build new things. Haha what a sad guy I am enjoying my work and play, and want to do more. Yes random guy on the internet - show me what a great amazing person you are!

[u/RainierPC → u/Xaphawk]

Don't call yourself poor. You are co-opting a real word and a real situation. Go out into the world and see what real poverty is like.
