This is incredible. I just blew through $200 last night in a few hours on 1M context. This is like the best news I've heard all year in regards to my business. What is OpenAIs response to this? Do they even have 1M context window or is it still opaque and "depends on the time of day"
Did u use the API or subscription?

#22The weirdest thing about Claude pricing is their 5X pricing plan is 5 times the cost of the previous plan. Normally buying the bigger plan gives some sort of discount. At Claude, it's just "5 times more usage 5 times more cost, there you go".

#27Compared to yesterday my Claude Max subscription burns usage like absolutely crazy (13% of weekly usage from fresh reset today with just a handful prompts on two new C++ projects, no deps) and has become unbearably slow (as in 1hr for a prompt response). GGWP Anthropic, it was great while it lasted but this isn't worth the hundreds of dollars.

#28Is there a writeup anywhere on what this means for effective context? I think that many of us have found that even when the context window was 100k tokens the actual usable window was smaller than that. As you got closer to 100k performance degraded substantially. I'm assuming that is still true but what does the curve look like?
I'm not an expert but maybe this explains context rot.

#29"put high level description of the change you are making in log.md after every change"
works perfectly in codex but i just cant get calude to do it automatically. I always have to ask "did you update the log".

#30The big change here is: > Standard pricing now applies across the full 1M window for both models, with no long-context premium. Media limits expand to 600 images or PDF pages. For Claude Code users this is huge - assuming coherence remains strong past 200k tok.
