For the past month, I've been claiming that $20/mo codex is the best deal in AI.
Now I'm going to have to find the new best deal.

#12Does this mean there’s no such thing as a “subscription” to ChatGPT for businesses? I thought they offered businesses a subscription with some amount of built in quota previously, including for the side products like codex and sora.
There are still subscriptions that give access to both ChatGPT and Codex, but with a much smaller usage quota than before the change (which came at the same time as the end of the 2x promo). I couldn't find the equivalent in terms of credit for the usage included with these $20/25 seats...

#14The title is misleading and not in the article. This change is for business/enterprise accounts. Also, these are still credit based. The change is that credits now operate on tokens like the API rather than on messages as they used to.

#15Sounds like a death knell to me.
If I recall correctly, Ed Zitron noted in a recent article that one of the horsemen of his AI-pocalypse would be price hikes from providers.

#17Is this not just about extra credit? So what's included in the subscription doesn't change - just extra credits are now token based instead of message based? (For Plus/Pro)

#19Earlier quoted context omitted.
It’s kind of a rug pull to effectively raise the price like 10x. I can’t afford to finish some of my projects with this change
There are plenty of good models on Openrouter that are very cheap, maybe it's time to experiment with alternatives.
what are some of them?

#20Not only do I not keep up with the tech itself, I don’t even keep up with how to pay for it.
