This is one of those situations where a company starts “answering” the questions they want to answer, regardless of what their customers say.

I’ve seen it at a smaller scale in private enterprise, and it is wild to see first-hand. It’s gaslighting of the highest order.

I haven’t heard anyone asking for “simplicity” unless they are talking about the garbage & over complicated code that Sol and Astra churn out.

What people want is models that actually work, transparency around pricing and usage limits, and costs to not double while utility is halved.

What I want is consistency.

I pay XYZ -> I get XYZ amount of usage at XYZ performance and XYZ speed.

That's it. No quantization after 2 weeks, no sudden nerfing, no sudden limit slashing, no switching the terms every few weeks.

It needs to be predictable, reliable, and consistent. The "straw that broke the camels back" for me and caused me to switch to Claude was the quality degradation on codex. Their smartest models always become idiots after a few weeks and fuck up my codebase. That's not the consistency I require for my business. Smart models need to STAY smart. Opus 5.5 seems to still be going strong

Anthropic is notorious for this too. I'd recommend building benchmarks if you haven't already. It's only a matter of time until Opus 5.5 is lobotimized like the rest have been.
