Manufacturing demand. Create the problem. Solve the problem. The 2x allowance last month was not of the goodness of their hearts. It’s pumping up the demand AND the revenue simultaneously. The squeeze before an IPO. How many of us have looked into moving to the next tier during the last 48 hours? I know I have both professionally and for my private use. Moving 20% of $20 customers to $100 increases the revenue for the group with 1.8x.

>Manufacturing demand. Create the problem. Solve the problem. This only makes sense if openai was cutting the quotas to below the original amount, which so far as I can tell hasn't happened. Otherwise it's just a cynical take where any sort of promotion can be cynically interpreted as "Manufacturing demand. Create the problem. Solve the problem".

I pulled the trigger on a GLM subscription, 5.1 is pretty close to SOTA and as a side benefit you aren’t financially supporting these evil companies.

  What do you think is the percentage of your payment to Z.AI that goes to the Chinese state (which can be termed as "evil" in many ways)?

Their models also "became" quite chatty in recent weeks. Now you spend 2x tokens to achieve the same result because of that. Sure, you can tell it to "be succinct" or whatever, but the vast majority of people won't so this definitely increased token consumption overall.

I would agree except that I'm already on the top tier, and there is no next tier. So what I spent yesterday doing when I hit my session limit - within an hour and a half while working on a single feature - was setting up pi.dev and porting over all my skills and hooks. I've cancelled my account and when it's finished in a few days I'm done with Claude. Sure, Opus has a slight edge (which might just be familiarity) but it's already clear that pi with Gemini 3.1 pro or codex 5.3 is pretty much close.

  This pushed me to try pi.dev with a remote ollama instance running gemma4:26b on a 24GB RTX 3090. It is not perfect, but it's quite okay-ish with 128k context length. It's not a model primarily for coding I guess, but IIWIW. Thanks!
