Reddit post argues OpenAI may be giving some users more compute than others

The poster argues that OpenAI is effectively routing more compute to some users than others, making the same model appear smarter or weaker depending on who gets the frontier version.
They claim this creates an uneven advantage for users with access to the best models, and suggest the practice could become a major legal and competitive issue as frontier intelligence keeps improving.
