o3-pro is so much worse then o1-pro that it no longer makes sense to pay for the $200 plan.
I’ve switched my plan from pro to plus today.
I know it doesn’t really mater to openai, as there is enough funding for a really long time. I might return once stargate outputs a model.
but I wanted to make this post with my discontent with o3-pro, o3, o4-mini-high, sora and codex.
my plan went from February 28th, 2025 until June 18th, 2025. So $1000 spent that ended the moment o1-pro was replaced by something incredibly worse.
Since o3-pro was released June 11th, 2025, it took 7 days for me to go from “yeah, the pro plan is worth it” to “ah hell no”.
idk, maybe it was on purpose as Sam did say openai was losing money with the pro plan with o1-pro.
Thanks for all the memories pro plan, your only great benefit will be deeply missed and I’ll have to either use the playground or build my own uiux since I don’t really have the time to go over the safety of open source projects currently out there.
i know a lot of hard work went into every model and every project that didn’t meet the expectations. nothing personal to all of the technical staff, you guys are lovely.
peace.
