Not millions. Many many billions. (not on virtual events, but on the platform itself--that's the crazy part)

This is incredible. I just blew through $200 last night in a few hours on 1M context. This is like the best news I've heard all year in regards to my business.

What is OpenAIs response to this? Do they even have 1M context window or is it still opaque and "depends on the time of day"

rarely go over 25 percent in codex but i hit 80 on claude code in just a short time.

Did u use the API or subscription?

Max subscription and "extra usage" billing

Prior to this announcement, all 1M context use consumed "extra usage", it wasn't included in a normal subscription plan.

So, I’ve been using opus 4.6 1m since it was fist available to 20x max users daily. What I think has happened is that even in doing so, I have not actually exceeded the plan token limits and therefore haven’t been charged for “extra usage” (just double checked). So, unless there’s a billing mistake or delay, “any usage” != “extra usage” which is what I was always unclear about. I am careful to iterate with claude on plans in plan mode followed by clearing the context and executing. I think I am hovering around the higher end of the smaller window model where I would have otherwise seen auto-compaction run.

Another reason for less token usage is that 4.6 is much better at delegating agents (its own explorer agents or my custom agents) to avoid cluttering the window.

Exactly. How ridiculous. The world doesn’t owe ‘principal engineers’ shit. I hate to work with people like this.

—- from a ‘principal engineer’

I wanna understand this, but it's gone from a bunch of people talking about how great it is to a bunch of technical people talking about how worthless it is. So I think it's probably not that great. Who cares if I can chat remotely with my AI? What's the difference?

What's so good about that?

Were they bought by private equity or something? This seems like something private equity would do.

I think they’re just trying to do anything to survive, since they’re getting their lunch eaten by LLMs trained in stack overflow posts.

More Sam Altman lies. Can’t believe anything that jerk says

I know the money is good, but if I were you (or any OpenAI employee), I'd move over to Google or Anthropic posthaste.

Is it really worth the long-term risk being associated with Sam Altman when the other firms would willingly take you and probably give you a pay bump to boot?

It doesn't make sense to me why anyone would want to associate themselves with Altman. He is universally distrusted. No one believes anything he says. It's insane to work with a person who PG, Ilya, Murati, Musk have all designated a liar and just general creep.

Defending him or the firms actions instantly makes you look terrible, like you'll gladly take the "Elites vs UBI recipients" his vision propagates.

Shame on you people. What a disgusting vision.

I don’t know what open claw is really, but I’ve heard so much about it like everyone else. Is this anthropic’s answer to that?

I’m genuinely wondering the same thing, seems like at least a precursor.

When a manager with a reputation for brilliance takes on a business with a reputation for poor economics it’s the reputation of the business that remains intact
