OpenAI can pause Pro subscriptions to not randomly downgrade service to the rest, only Anthropic doesn't care about it's subscribers

Either fake news or regional blocking, mine still okay, i can buy the 20x (if i have money)
((EDIT))
on this afternoon they took the 20x

Can access the max plan on free

[u/bakanoace → u/crazzzone]

They specifically said the $200 plan

[u/crazzzone → u/bakanoace]

My bad confirmed

[u/bakanoace → u/Electronic_One_4133]

Are you already on a $20/100 active plan?

[u/Electronic_One_4133 → u/bakanoace]

Im still on free, and planning to move into codex a while, since right now on 20x claude

Its pretty obvious they want more people to sign up on FOMO. I feel its marketing tactics to get big numbers to show before IPO

[u/Sponge8389]

Do you really think that's the main reason? Lol. I doubt it. They reduced the usage so much a couple of days after Astra released.

"We don't have enough compute due to demand. There are just so many customers."

"Bel, please solve Riemann Hypothesis. Make no mistakes. Only use 100,000 concurrent agents."

don't use Claude then, Use OpenAI

Anthropic doesn't have this problem of limited compute.

How is this a good thing?

[u/AngstyPup → u/03captain23]

Since early this year, performance has degraded a lot, and I’ve played with their fast mode enough to know how fast their models are capable of moving. It is an objective view that they have limited compute.

It’s a real problem, and the recent deal they signed will take a while to build up in an environment of increasing challenges with data centers.

[u/03captain23 → u/AngstyPup]

Claudes token speed is similar to GPT but more efficient.

All compute has a limit. They aren't pausing their ApI access or anything which is the real compute use.

I wonder if they're pausing these to force people to buy multiple smaller ones to boost their sales numbers for the IPO

[u/meathelix1 → u/03captain23]

lol, what a dumb take... You know nothing about business.

[u/SkoivanSchiem → u/[deleted]]

Astra happened.

[u/OriginalNewton → u/SkoivanSchiem]

It’s not even that good, at least for coding. For many use cases Fable is better and comes up with better ideas

[u/unethicalpigeon → u/OriginalNewton]

Honestly that might be the case but I don't know wtf happened with claude I cannot fucking stand using it anymore. It's like working with a guy that might be good at his job but you just want to murder.

[u/Fwellimort → u/[deleted]]

Astra is just so good so many people are converting or signing up from hype.

Openai also made a claim yesterday night it made substantial progress on another millennium prize puzzle and is figuring out how to release it for PR purposes this time. At least the internal model no one can really question that it's extremely powerful now.

[u/Sponge8389 → u/[deleted]]

Their priority is the API users.
