Questioning OpenAI's $500 monthly price: Astra medium burns a rival's weekly quota in a day
The author calls the $500 monthly price a mistake, suggesting compute scarcity or an inefficient new model, and says Astra medium uses in a day what Opus 5.5 ultra uses at 10% of its weekly quota.

$500/month is the wrong move by OpenAI That is literally rent money for the third world More importantly, it signals real compute scarcity or the next model is strong but inefficient. Astra med consumes in a day what Opus 5.5 ultra does at 10% of weekly usage. Where compute?
