Manufacturing demand. Create the problem. Solve the problem.
The 2x allowance last month was not of the goodness of their hearts. It’s pumping up the demand AND the revenue simultaneously. The squeeze before an IPO.
How many of us have looked into moving to the next tier during the last 48 hours? I know I have both professionally and for my private use. Moving 20% of $20 customers to $100 increases the revenue for the group with 1.8x.

This only makes sense if openai was cutting the quotas to below the original amount, which so far as I can tell hasn't happened. Otherwise it's just a cynical take where any sort of promotion can be cynically interpreted as "Manufacturing demand. Create the problem. Solve the problem".

I pulled the trigger on a GLM subscription, 5.1 is pretty close to SOTA and as a side benefit you aren’t financially supporting these evil companies.

Their models also "became" quite chatty in recent weeks.
Now you spend 2x tokens to achieve the same result because of that.
Sure, you can tell it to "be succinct" or whatever, but the vast majority of people won't so this definitely increased token consumption overall.

When I sit down and dial in on a serious project at work I easily spend $500-1000+ day of API usage. At home I just hit the limit and give up / cancel my sub.
Wish I could just go all out one weekend a month. I hardly code outside of work but sometimes there’s a project I have an itch for.

Why don't you just buy API tokens instead of using subscription
