    > Cached input costs just $0.10 per million tokens—95% less than standard input pricing and 50% less than GPT‑6 Sol’s cached input pricing

    This is the actual big announcement. 50% cheaper cache than GPT-6 Sol will get you far more mileage on Codex.

        > most people, get hardly a days usage out of a 20x account

        This is not even remotely true.

          This is the distribution of usage. Spin up a bunch of loops or fire a semi-autonomous factory at a project and it's pretty easy to blow through a 20x account in a few hours if you can afford the sandboxes, CI and other infra required.

          If you're running 2-3 parallel agent session with a few sub agents and waiting for you to prompt them, you'll have a very different experience!

            This is a tiny minority of people, not “most people”.

        It's obviously true.

        With the 80% price cut, this is competitive with Opus 5.5 despite the subscription downgrade.

        Additionally, it was said that existing 20x subscriptions retain the higher limits for some time.

        I have seen you make these immature accusations that users here are OpenAI employees multiple times today.

          It is not obviously true. Please provide real proof. OpenAI's customers are tired of their BS.

        if an openai employee is reading this plz hire me i am unemployed and i need a job

        (Usage limits are entirely dependent on what you're doing with them. If you're not running it on 1 million LoC codebases you can get a lot of mileage out of even a 5x account particularly with the recent cheap models)
