Struggling to reconcile this is cool with what about the insane energy/water costs. Are we supposed to stick our heads in the sand? Hope it will magically go away?
Best is to go into the woods and live with bees.
As I said before. OpenAI cannot maintain profitability unless they can increase the pricing an order of magnitude. Adding a $200 pro plan is only the first step. Expect they will also have $2k and 20$k per month plans soon and your "normal" $20 plan will curiously be worse and worse every month
Are they profitable?
Let’s see if those folks saying they’ve doubled their productivity will pay.
That, or I am actually a much better developer and writer than I thought. Because while LLMs certainly have become useful tools to me. They have not doubled my productivity.
OpenAI is racing against two clocks: the commoditization clock (how quickly open-source alternatives catch up) and the monetization clock (their need to generate substantial revenue to justify their valuation). The ultimate success of this strategy depends on what we might call the enterprise AI adoption curve - whether large organizations will prioritize the kind of integrated, reliable, and "safe" AI solutions Open…
I just bought a pro subscription. First impressions: The new o1-Pro model is an insanely good writer. Aside from favoring the long em-dash (—) which isn't on most keyboards, it has none of the quirks and tells of old GPT-4/4o/o1. It managed to totally fool every "AI writing detector" I ran it through. It can handle unusually long prompts. It appears to be very good at complex data analysis. I need to put it through i…
> Aside from favoring the long em-dash (—) which isn't on most keyboards Interesting! I intentionally edit my keyboard layout to include the em-dash, as I enjoy using it out of sheer pomposity—I should undoubtedly delve into the extent to which my own comments have been used to train GPT models!
Why doesn't Pro include longer context windows? I'm a Plus member, and the biggest limitation I am running into by far is the maximum length of a context window. I'm having context fall out of scope throughout the conversion or not being able to give it a large document that I can then interrogate. So if I go from paying $20/month for 32,000 tokens, to $200/month for Pro, I expect something more akin to Enterprise's…
I've been concatenating my source code of ~3300 lines and 123979 bytes(so likely < 128K context window) into the chat to get better answers. Uploading files is hopeless in the web interface.

Leadership at this crop of tech companies is more like followership . Whether it's 'no politics', or sudden layoffs, or 'founder mode', or 'work from home'... one CEO has an idea and three dozen other CEOs unthinkingly adopt it. Several comments in this thread have used Anthropic's lower pricing as a criticism, but it's probably moot: a month from now Anthropic will release its own $200 model.
Except Anthropic actually has the ability to deliver $200/month in value whereas OpenAI lost the script a long time ago. Not a single one of OpenAI’s models can compete with the Claude series, it’s embarrassing.
Do you happen to have comparisons available for o1-pro or even o1 (non-preview) that you could share since you seems to have tried them all?
I think this is proof that Open AI have nothing at all and AGI is as far away as fusion and self driving cars on London roads.

I haven't used ChatGPT in a few weeks now. I still maintain subscriptions to both ChatGPT and Claude, but I'm very close to dropping ChatGPT entirely. The only useful thing it provides over Claude is a decent mobile voice mode and web search.
If you don't want to necessarily have to pick between one or the other, there are services like this one that let you basically access all the major LLMs and only pay per use: https://nano-gpt.com/
