Great, so now OpenAI has opened the door to pricing people out of AI access.

The o1-pro model in their charts is only ever so slightly better than the one I can get for $20 a month. To blur the lines of this they add in other features for $200 a month, but make no mistake, their best model is now 10x more expensive for 1% or so better results based on their charts.

What's next? The best models will soon cost $500 a month and only be available to enterprises? Seems they are opening the door to taking away public access to powerful models.

Why not, if people are willing to pay? You can think of them as subsidies for the weaker models. They're determining the price elasticity. And the better models will eventually get cheaper, as competition encroaches.
