Another week where AI coding community is talking more about pricing and usage than tools or LLMs. Apparently, models became all "good enough", and now everyone is trying to find their way to get maximum from their payment plan. Also, some companies are raising prices, while others reset limits and extend cheaper usage.
Finally, Anthropic seem to lose their reputation quite quickly, many developers are leaving for Codex JUST because they can't trust Opus creators with their usage/stability. Wild times.

I Tested NEW GPT-5.5 vs GPT-5.4 vs Opus 4.7 on THREE Coding Tasks
20-minute video. I gave three tasks to three models: to fix a bug, to plan a project, and to implement the part of the plan. I will compare the code quality, speed, and usage of the tokens.

In early May, you'll see a preview bill experience, giving visibility into projected costs before the transition. Read more about the
Fair to assume more will follow. I expect this change will also be a great boost for open models - cheaper, and pretty good already.
All are fixed in v2.1.116+ and we’ve reset usage limits for all subscribers.
“we’ll ensure that a larger share of internal staff use the exact public build of Claude Code (as opposed to the version we use to test new features).”

From $6 to $13, and the "average for 90% of people" from $12 to $30 a day. Very nice stuff!
Walk away from the terminal, we'll let you know when it's done.
New in Claude Code: /ultrareview (research preview) runs a fleet of bug-hunting agents in the cloud.

No excuses. Just build.
OpenAIDevs on X: "What if every open issue had a Codex agent?"

That’s the idea behind Symphony, an open-source agent orchestrator for Codex that turns task trackers into always-on systems for agentic work, letting humans focus on review and direction.
Auto-review is a new mode that lets Codex work longer with fewer approvals and safer execution.

It helps Codex keep moving through tests, builds, and more, including during long tasks and automations, while a separate agent checks higher-risk steps in context before they run.
