OpenAI is broke!
They're dealing with a serious compute shortage, which has ultimately resulted in abnormal reaction pop-ups in the ChatGPT/Codex app, coupled with the outage that lasted a few hours yesterday.
Luckily, Anthropic doesn't have this issue. With Elon as the compute backbone of Anthropic, CEO Dario Amodei signed an agreement to use 100% of the compute capacity at the SpaceXAI Colossus 1 facility.
Opus 5.5 isn't getting nerfed, and better models are fast approaching.
Starting with the release of Sonnet 5.5 this week.
OpenAI seems to be dealing with a pretty ugly compute shortage right now, and I’m not saying that just because of these pop-ups. I mean the broader pattern I’ve been watching over the last few hours.
Pro is basically becoming the new Plus, and Plus is becoming the new Free.
At this rate, I can finally start calling Pro users “casual, non-technical users.”
