兄弟们,OpenAI 的 20x 订阅要回归了!
但是先别高兴,200 美元照收,按 API 价格折算的额度砍一半。😂
Tibo 说,Sol 和 Luna 的 API 价格都降了 50%,所以你能干的活没少。
好家伙,我还以为模型降价,同样的订阅费能多用点。结果你连额度一起砍了,白高兴一场。
而且他这次也把话挑明了:以后订阅和 API,同样的钱买到的用量会越来越接近。
这意思还不明白吗?就是要跟 AI 中转站抢生意了。
API 这头降价拉客户,订阅那头砍额度,把中转站的套利空间一点点挤掉。以后想靠订阅分发赚差价,越来越难了。
这算盘打得,做中转的听了都得喊声同行。
不过我就想问:要是订阅跟 API 真没多少差价了,我为什么还要每月先交 200 美元,再等着你给我重置额度?
Hi,
Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200 subscriptions to new subscribers, but together with it we are also changing how we calculate the usage for it. In effect, if you do the math, it will net out at half the dollar in API spend compared to the old Pro $200 plan.
Now that it's said, let me explain why this is happening and why you will still get more work done than if you were on the Pro $200 subscription one month ago.
(a) We didn't want to compromise in other ways and are committing to not reintroducing the 5h limit, so that you can fully use the weekly usage when you want.
(b) On the subscription, we guarantee that over time you always get more work done and with an increasing level of quality. This means that you will continue to get more value per dollar spent as a result of models getting more efficient and us passing down the improvements in the form of API price reductions.
(c) We don't want to put an incentive on ourselves to artificially inflate the API list prices to make it look like you are getting a lot (and workaround it through discounts, etc). Instead we want to continue to both rapidly reduce prices and increase capabilities of models on the API. This week we introduced GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna at 50% of their previous price. Over time, we see prices go low enough that it makes sense for most to buy usage as needed without there being a significant gap between what you get in a subscription and what you get in the API for a dollar spent.
(d) Tomorrow, we are adding more things to the subscription that won't draw on the usage, I won't reveal what that is yet.
I wanted to be transparent before all the big announcements tomorrow. Lots of new exciting things are coming to the subscriptions that will make it super compelling, but I wanted to make sure to share this change ahead of time so you can all understand it before we shower you with good news.
Codexingly,
Tibo
