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.
Ola. I tried Gemma 31B tonight for coding.
Don’t bother. It chews files up when it should read them and needs constant micromanagement. The typical toddler hopped up on sugar issue
Stick with Qwen 3 Next. It’s still a toddler on a sugar rush, but it’s beyond the “shitting its pants and then using it to paint on the walls” stage (mostly).
Honestly, I think this is a PsyOP by OAI and Anthropic to make people git gud LOL.
