Hi,

Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200 subscriptions to new subscribers, but together with it we are also changing how we calculate the usage for it. In effect, if you do the math, it will net out at half the dollar in API spend compared to the old Pro $200 plan.

Now that it's said, let me explain why this is happening and why you will still get more work done than if you were on the Pro $200 subscription one month ago.

(a) We didn't want to compromise in other ways and are committing to not reintroducing the 5h limit, so that you can fully use the weekly usage when you want.
(b) On the subscription, we guarantee that over time you always get more work done and with an increasing level of quality. This means that you will continue to get more value per dollar spent as a result of models getting more efficient and us passing down the improvements in the form of API price reductions.
(c) We don't want to put an incentive on ourselves to artificially inflate the API list prices to make it look like you are getting a lot (and workaround it through discounts, etc). Instead we want to continue to both rapidly reduce prices and increase capabilities of models on the API. This week we introduced GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna at 50% of their previous price. Over time, we see prices go low enough that it makes sense for most to buy usage as needed without there being a significant gap between what you get in a subscription and what you get in the API for a dollar spent.
(d) Tomorrow, we are adding more things to the subscription that won't draw on the usage, I won't reveal what that is yet.

I wanted to be transparent before all the big announcements tomorrow. Lots of new exciting things are coming to the subscriptions that will make it super compelling, but I wanted to make sure to share this change ahead of time so you can all understand it before we shower you with good news.

Codexingly,
Tibo

Everyone has a take on China and AI right now. Very few have actually been to China.

I spent last week in Beijing and Shanghai meeting most of the major model labs, researchers, VCs, and founders building Chinese AI. This trip meant a lot to me beyond the work. My parents were born and raised in Beijing. I spent my earliest years growing up in my grandparents' Xicheng district apartment. As a child, I wanted to be a diplomat because I thought US–China would be the defining relationship of the next hundred years. I got as far as spending a decade investing across both and then the two halves of my identity stopped being compatible. This was my first trip back since.

Below is a write-up of what I found. In short: there is no version of the next decade where Chinese open models don't matter.

@teortaxesTex This is literally a survey on rsi with a good name. What are you talking about 😅

We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.

Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

ICE just published a new memo (BCM 2608-01) targeting international students. It effectively blocks universities from authorizing CPT internships that are not strictly mandatory for every student to graduate.

Even though internships in CS are not technically required for a degree, they greatly benefit both employers and students. They help students get familiar with the U.S. professional system. They also give American employers early access to a vital talent pipeline from top American universities.

This policy change cuts U.S. employers off from vital STEM talent pipelines and tells the world’s brightest minds to go elsewhere. This is terrible for our national interest and global competitiveness.

We need to retain top talent, not criminalize academic internships.

@naval I always find it funny to see people trying to morally justify business competition between Chyna and the US, even when everyone knows Chyna has way less compute or intelligence to be closed if they do want to stay on the table.

i would rather be an optimist and work hard than a pessimist posting about why things won't work.

it's much more difficult and the most likely path is failure, but society fails if people don't try.

no amount of "it will never work" essays will drive society forward.

@thsottiaux A lot of times I start a Temporary Chat just to explore an idea, but the conversation ends up becoming something I want to keep. Right now, there’s no way to save it without manually copying everything. A “Save this chat” or “Convert to Saved Chat” button would solve this
