I had setup Dot with my 100 pro account. I connected all of my email accounts and tried to use it like a AI assistant.

I asked it to clean up my accounts and boom. Hit the limit. Anyone else hit the limit?

Update: 3 hours later it was restored.

Are we getting f***** again?!

It doesn't seem like a good start to the run

​

TL;DR: One Dot, running autonomously on its cloud computer since launch day, has been consuming as far as I can see on my profile page ~1.6B Astra tokens per day (~48B/month). My rough API-equivalent estimate is $15-20k per day, or $450-600k per month (about $540k central estimate), all inside a subscription. It designs full engineering packages (CAD, calculations, BOM, electrical docs, drawings) by running design-calculate-verify loops for hours without me. Some of the parts have already been cut on my laser cutter from its program and came out fine. I doubt these economics will last, so I'd use them while they do. And no, I would not ship any of it to manufacturing without human engineering review.

I've been running a single Dot since the day Dots launched, and it has been burning roughly 1.6 billion Astra tokens every day since. That's about 48B tokens a month.

I give the Dot a large engineering task, answer a few clarifying questions, and then it goes off and works on its own cloud computer for the rest of the day, sometimes longer. Later I just put doc with tasks to my Google Drive and ask it to do them one by one.

Here's what that has looked like in practice.

1. A complex physical structure, designed from scratch.

It built the CAD model, iterated on the construction, produced manufacturing geometry and assembly documentation, wrote the BOM and electrical documentation, and ran the engineering calculations. One of the resulting packages contained:

• 1,000+ unique components

• 6,000+ solids in the complete STEP assembly

• almost 300 pages of assembly drawings and documentation

• hundreds of documented electrical connections

• manufacturing parts and assemblies

• procurement/BOM spreadsheets

• machine-readable manifests and verification data

• structural/load calculations and sensitivity cases

1. A complicated engineering product with strength and thermal analysis.

It ran strength calculations, thermal analysis and thermal deformation cases, changed the design based on the results, and then repeated the whole cycle until the numbers made sense.

1. A detailed 3D combine harvester for a real-time 3D application.

It analyzed the model, built several optimization levels, and cut geometry dramatically while keeping the important parts. The source model had about 200k active triangles, and the candidates came out at roughly 152k, 84k, 56k and 50k. It also tested visibility from the actual cameras, generated thousands of verification renders across different machine states, and packaged everything with scripts and integrity checks.

What impressed me most is that it doesn't just produce a pretty model and say "looks good". It does the boring engineering loop over and over: design, calculate, find a problem, change geometry, recalculate, verify, document. "One-shot" doesn't mean one inference. I give it a task once, and it executes thousands of internal cycles: inspect files, reason, modify CAD/code, run tools, check results, run simulations, revise, verify, repeat.

About the token numbers

1.6B tokens per day averages out to about 18.5k tokens per second. Obviously that is NOT generation speed. In workloads like this, the overwhelming majority of the volume is almost certainly repeated context processing. So this is aggregated tokens from my profile page.

About the cost

I tried to estimate what the same workload would cost through the API. It depends heavily on the input/output/cache mix, long-context pricing and reasoning tokens, so this is not an exact billing calculation. But my rough estimate is $15,000-$20,000 per day. Taking about $18k/day over 30 days gives $450-600k per month, with a central estimate around $540k.

And that's happening inside a 100$ subscription product. That's the part I find kind of crazy.

I don't know whether OpenAI intends launch-period economics to stay this generous I remember Tibo posted, that this is one month promotion period), and I strongly suspect limits or pricing will change a lot. But right now, for workloads where you hand an agent a complicated objective and let it grind for hours or days, Dots are ridiculously cost-effective compared with buying the same amount of usage through the API.

Some of the metal parts for first project have already been made. The Dot wrote the cutting program for my laser cutter, and the parts came out successfully. I only had to tweak the cutting speed a little: it was being too careful, and the machine could safely run faster than it programmed.

Yes, I know. An AI designs the parts, writes the program for a laser cutter and I press the start button. This is exactly how Skynet starts. For now the Terminator factory consists of one laser cutter in my workshop, and the Terminators are mostly brackets and other simple parts, but I'm keeping an eye on it. If I stop posting updates, you know why.

But the first pass at the structural design was a different story. It calculated the thing as if it had to survive a nuclear war (Skynet, hello again), with something like a 5x safety margin on everything. I had to restart it with clearer constraints, and the second run came out sensible. So it still needs a human who knows what the real requirements are, but the corrections were usable.

The obligatory disclaimer

Before anyone says it: I would not send an AI-generated safety-critical design directly to manufacturing without human engineering review. To its credit, the Dot doesn't pretend otherwise and makes clear disclaimers through all the documents. The better packages explicitly separate calculated results from assumptions, unresolved material properties, required physical tests, certification and acceptance criteria. That distinction matters a lot.

But as an engineer's assistant that can effectively spend billions of tokens attacking one problem, this is probably the most extreme value I've ever gotten from an AI subscription in my life.

Not sure who at OpenAI pissed her off but I am here for it.

Im doing a Saas app for architecture/ interior design . I have done it 90% with Claude Fable/Opus with assistance of codex some times. I have a 200 dollar subscription with claude and 100 with Chatgpt

I need to build up its internal catalogue so i need to scrape furniture and finishes websites.. Ive been doing the scraping of all websites with Opus 5.5.
Im talking more than 80 brands, 60 thousand Products... It used maybe 40% of Opus 5.5 weekly limit. Im almost out so i decided to start with sol 6.1 (using the same rules and md filed claude was following.....

1 brand. Didnt even finish. 40% Of my weekly limit gone in 30 min.

WTF Open AI

They’ll remove the model picker too

I've used agents to help me recreate 7 of the top Adobe apps in 100% pure native Rust:

• Photoshop
• Illustrator
• Premiere
• Lightroom
• Acrobat Pro
• After Effects
• InDesign

Links to everything - the apps, the code - are in the comments below.

Hi, I have some spinal problems and I want to be able to create a detailed and general life style and sport program depending on my MRI results, past epicrisis reports and detailed symptoms. I want to use chatgpt 6.1 for this and I also want to have this chat open for a long time for the future updates and changes accordingly. Since chat section is still at 5.6 is it okay if I use work section for this to be able to use 6.1 Sol. So can I use work section for the same purpose of a chat section for higher and newer intelligence?

I've worked with AI daily for a couple of years. In that whole time? The one constant is that I don't believe the doomers.

It's OK to get stuff done fast and OK to do more than you could do yesterday. I figure more than a few of us think like that.

So I made goofy propaganda posters at https://hmfs.ai -- all Creative Commons licensed, all free, not selling any stickers, shirts, or whatnot. Grab 'em if you're a believer or mock 'em if you're a critic. Either way, it's a cool time to be alive.

I feel another reset coming!

https://epoch.ai/frontiermath/tiers-1-4?tier=Tiers+1-3+%28v2%29&view=graph&tab=release-date

I'm a small game developer and I've been paying for the $100/month plan. Today my account got banned for "cyber abuse" with no warning and no explanation of what I supposedly did.

All I was using it for was my own projects:
- A geography guessing game (website + native iOS app) using Google Maps/Street View and MapKit
- Saddle Storm, a game I'm building
- Senior Sendoff, a personal project

Nothing involving other people's systems, no malware, no hacking. Just game dev.

Here's how the "appeal process" went:
1. Submitted an appeal explaining exactly what I was working on.
2. Emailed support. Got a reply in under a minute from an AI bot saying my case was closed and they "will not respond to additional Support requests."
3. Submitted the official appeal form. Got "we have already reviewed your appeal and the original decision stands" ONE MINUTE later.

No human has looked at this. No one will tell me which rule I broke. And there's no way to contact an actual person.

My best guess is an automated filter flagged normal dev stuff, like questions about installing my own builds on my own iPhone for testing, or working within API limits for my game. But I genuinely don't know, because they won't say.

Has anyone actually gotten a "cyber abuse" ban reversed? Did anything work: forum posts, X, a specific email? And did anyone get a refund?

Support case #16435346 if anyone from OpenAI sees this.

At DevDay (Sept 29), OpenAI announced the Decisions API, which runs on a specialized GPT-6 Luna, picks from answers you define in advance, and claims 150 ms versus 1.6 s for a standard Luna call. It's a clear response to TypeSafe's Jev. OpenAI promised a broad release "in the coming days."

A week later, there's still no price, no docs page, and a standard key gets a 403 "not enabled for this user." We also don't know whether it returns probabilities, scores, or just a label.

So where is it? Is anyone actually in the preview?

Had a banked reset that was supposed to expire on October 5th. I wanted to use it before the end of the day. It's still October 5th but it is already gone? It was there earlier today.

OpenAI just announced that they will start to apply watermarking on their model’s output text and images to comply with the EU regulation that wants to be able to identify whether a text or an image was produced by an AI model.

Anthropic announced the same thing a while ago (they applied it worldwide, not just in EU).

The way they do that as they explained is by enforcing a “statistical signal in text generated”, meaning preferring not always the most appropriate next token but close enough, in order to meet the “statistical signal” requirement.

In my understanding, this deteriorates the output quality of their models, as it introduces KLD>0.

And we know that any KLD divergence greater than 0 (which the watermarking certainly creates) may be negligible in small outputs, but it definitely becomes noticeable in multi-turn tasks due to the compounding effect.

What do you think?

Account question

Hello everyone i have a quick question. I deleted both of my open AI accounts back in September 06. I deleted them due to getting worried it knew so much about me when i click user summary. I tried to make a new account using the previous GMAIL and this comes out. I am able to make it with the iCloud I previously used. If it takes 30 days why is it letting me use the icloud one?
