Redditor mocks the AI race: weeks of efficiency talk ends in benchmaxed models and a $500 plan
HimaSphere · reddit · 2026-09-30
A Reddit user (jokingly signed "This post was brought to you by Opus 5.5") mocks recent AI releases:
- Weeks of talk about efficiency and cost optimization ended in announcing one benchmaxed model, then replacing it with another benchmaxed model
- All capped off with what the author calls a ridiculous $500 subscription plan
- Sarcastic suggestion: at least make it 30x — bulk buying used to be cheaper
