KOL Complains AI Subscription Costs Doubled Amid Bi-Weekly Model Releases

Prominent AI KOL @yacineMTB complains about the overly frequent release cadence of modern LLMs. He notes that with major models updating almost every two weeks, he ends up paying for multiple pro subscriptions simultaneously, effectively doubling his costs.
This rapid iteration also causes severe tool-switching fatigue. He suggests that instead of obsessing over incrementally rising version numbers, vendors should just let users pick between 'Team GPT' and 'Team Claude', while hoping the giants avoid colluding on pricing.
