OpenAI's $500 DevDay plan mocked as model falls behind Claude Opus 5.5

X user XFreeze pans OpenAI's DevDay: the new $500 subscription plan landed with near-universal backlash, especially since OpenAI has no model matching Claude Opus 5.5 or even Sonnet 5.5, making the pricing hard to justify. The quoted post calls it the worst DevDay ever — the new "dots" tool has confusingly Grok-like naming, seemed inefficient, and launches like "space" felt unwanted; the poster would have preferred fixing the Plus plan and doubling limits. The result: the event handed hype to rival Grok Bot instead.
