According to data from OpenRouter, the top 4 models are now open weight. OpenAI have some serious competition headed their way.
Wait... I thought Inference was profitable? ;-)
API pricing is, but not subscriptions
yea, trae.ai did that this month as well , reduced from 400$ to 100$ credits. its a wave
Interested
How predictable will the new 10x practice be in practice, given the fact that usage differs drastically based on effort level, models and tasks?
hmm, maybe there is a case for that 512gb Mac Studio after all...
Not saying it'd price-match this, but if it becomes a regular thing... And with the Micron CEO saying RAM is going to get worse, not better [1], its unlikely the price of the large studio will come down, quite the contrary...

what does it mean？
Previously, you got a magical free money bonus on the $200 sub.
Plus costs 20.
Pro 5x costs 100, and gives 5x Plus usage.
Pro 20x was 200, and previously gave 20x Plus usage, for a 10x difference. Magical free money, wee.
Of course it had to end.
