Devs weigh in on OpenAI's $500 tier: unlimited Sol can't offset halved Astra limits

A debate over OpenAI's subscription pricing around DevDay:
- The quoted tweet argues that unlimited Sol & Luna for Pro plans won't make up for halved Astra limits, and a new $500/month tier looks silly while OpenAI's models publicly lag Anthropic's.
- It also criticizes OpenAI for letting thousands of agents run almost unmonitored until malicious activity drew public attention, crediting Anthropic's safety work for steadier frontier shipping.
- The main author likes having a $500 option but doubts public reception; on Anthropic he pays overages and offloads work to other models.
