Not all but few. Read the directive - IP67 or 1000 charges and the model is excluded

Makes sense.

It is over for the little guy - home enthusiasts and vibe coders. Too many of them saturating resources for Max users.

IF you cannot afford few hundred dollars subscription go out and breathe fresh air. But if you can, watch where the ball is rolling - few thousand dollars subscriptions and even less programmers.

Do you review all machine code your compiler produces?

7.5 is promotional rate, it will go up to 25. And in May you will be switched to per token billing.

Opus 4.5 and 4.6 will be removed very soon.

So what is your contingency plan?

Making models smarter is saturated at this point. But making models faster and is low cost vector for growth.

OpenAI will not win against Anthropic that way. But they will make themselves indispensable to bilions of new, invisible micro solutions.

Yes, probably. But the others gained skills and tools that made their jobs secure.

There is no decline. Human assets were always too expensive to process some additional information. We are simply processing lot more of low signal data.

Actually some of our analysts are empowered by the tools at their disposal. Their jobs are safe and necessary. Others were let go.

Clients are happy to get fuller picture of their universe, which drives more informed decissions . Everybody wins.

We are processing same data for the last 2 years.

Inference prices droped like 90 percent in that time (a combination of cheaper models, implicit caching, service levels, different providers and other optimizations).

Quality went up. Quantity of results went up. Speed went up.

Service level that we provide to our clients went up massively and justfied better deals. Headcount went down.

What's not to like?

Quantity have quality of it own. Or in case of Code Assistants - speed.

Use Opus fast, Codex-Spark or Cerebras. No more spinner starring. Instant results. One project at time.

Keeping lid on boiling peasants rage have always been chief qualification of aristocracy.

Plus I don't believe in violence from tech bros and white collar workers - they have been raised too docile...

To my country and my generation US have broght freedom, democracy and unlimted growth. It did so by breaking the neck of muredrous totalitarian regime and central planing economy we have all been living under for 50 years.

USA have also delivered - freedom of travel anywhere I can immagine. And for the last 30 years have sponsored our way of life with cheap oil and free trade routes.

Whatever is going on right now, I am still grateful for all the good things.

You could also say that US finally finished with subsidizing Europe's and other allies lavish lifestyle... (via cheap oil and open trade routes).

No more cheap vacations abroad, cheap food, cheap goods from far away..

I bet we will see $400 oil...

You are welcome. I have myself picked up this trick reading through Reditt and later polished that myself. No official guide is suggesting that
