OpenAI criticized over Pro price cut, $500 tier and dots domain redirecting to Grok Bot
A satirical thread says the $200 Pro allowance shrank, a $500 tier was added, the dots domain redirects to Grok Bot, and Anthropic released Opus 5.5 in the meantime.
> be OpenAI > pause new $200 Pro subscriptions > bring them back with a smaller allowance > same price, naturally > eligible existing users keep old limits until Oct 29 > unveil a $500 Pro tier > Astra Ultrafast is on that tier > announce your new product, dots > http://dot.com redirects to Grok Bot > meanwhile Anthropic drops Opus 5.5 > its benchmarks put Opus ahead of Astra on Terminal-Bench > Sonnet 5.5 lands six days later > ask customers to get excited $200 gets you a smaller allowance, $500 gets you the fast lane, and http://dot.com gets you a competitor.
