this is an opinion and i would love to debate :) dont hate me too hard

i think the article is momentaneously correct but there are some things that smells to me about the situation overall (not the article!)

(1) i believe gpt 5.5 and opus 4.7 are not as good improvements as their predecessors and there has been not enough evolution in those models to justify the price increases. Unless something big changes in the next few years they will not be able to track these costs (unless A)

(2) they might not be able to keep up improving the data centers if their tech keeps demanding more and more hardware capability. even nvidia does not show signals that they will be able to beat too much their big GPUs and at some point this increased price will be passed to them anyway which will need to be put in the token price (unless A)

(3) i've been trying deepseek v4 and other models and honestly, they are more useful than gpt 5.5 and opus 4.7... i mean, there is still a difference, but it is so little that it does not make sense the cost of opus and gpt 5.5 (unless they are going to A too)

(A) I have the impression is that the plan was the whole time to sideline common folks like us and focus on gov, big techs and military. they only let us play with the toys to gather data and for people to not get mad because they stole the internet from us.
