OAI really trying to push folks to either the ad infested tier for gen chat (ChatGPT Go) or Pro ($100/month) for code.
I guess the $20 Plus plan is the red-headed step child now.
Meanwhile, Z.ai coder is what…$9/month? Hmmm.
I don’t have a local rig powerful enough to natively run a good coder (Qwen 3 next), but “I am altering the deal, pray I do not alter it any further” is THE perfect use case for running your shit locally.
PS: It looks like Pro and Plus tiers have gone up a smidge too? Eg: last I checked they were $20 and $100; they now show $30 and $155. I cancelled my account so OAI gifted me a free month (lol) but seriously…fuck that.


PS: Just to let you know - ECA is fucking amazing! Thank you VERY much for that. I’m currently using Sonnet 4.6 via OpenRouter API to boss around my local Qwen3-4… so far so good :)
Right now, I can see -
Sonnet 4.6 API is not too bad at all at moment
GLM 5.1 is STUPID cheap for what it is (promo?)
And Gemma 4 31B is just taking the piss
(or FREE via Google…but you know…ZDR)
