Ask HN: How do you feel about the new $500 OpenAI subscription? - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49838409 - Sept 2026 (8 comments)
So I would still prefer to spend some dollars in Anthropic or even Cursor solutions, which work much better as cloud dev envs.
It can feel unlimited for many use cases, probably. But I doubt it can, let's say, 3D model things in blender on 3 different computers for 24/7. And hey, why not 30 things? 300? If you're just watching them, it's easy to get ridiculous.
It gets into a "define unlimited" discussion. You could give "unlimited" usage, but still "limit" both concurrency and throttle speed. Even if you run 24/7, they still have knobs they can twist.
But gpt-6-sol, for instance, dropped price for the same level of intelligence. That will keep happening, and someday we'll have basically-free sol. And hopefully by then, very cheap astra.
But some new wild thing will be very expensive.
I'm sure I'll figure out how to use the new one, but I would be extremely happy with near-free Astra.
The limiting thing now is total tokens, so unlimited would mean infinite tokens.
And it's not hard to spin up to infinite tokens, one agent and one command can orchestrate it.
