.@martin_casado reveals sophisticated Chinese operations arbitraging OpenAI and Anthropic's $200 plans: drain all the tokens in 3 days, get a 27-day prorated refund, then resell access as a $20 service "There are these very sophisticated operations out of China that will use the single service tiers and arbitrage them. The way they do it is, they will sign up to a $200 plan." "They'll use all the tokens in three days, and then they'll cancel, and they'll get prorated for the 27 days even though they used all the tokens." "Then they'll use that to basically provide people with a service where they're arbitraging these. The market around laundering these plans is actually very, very sophisticated. We're seeing a lot of cat and mouse between the big labs." @a16z
