This could and probably is me projecting, but the enthusiasm was tepid. The Opus 5.5 mog cast a pall on the room.
The stuff that came off as potentially exciting was the ultrafast stuff available only to Pro 500 users.
The reset button stuff was an embarrassment. Everything that was released today, in respect to the hype that the team projected on twitter, was a failure. The internal OpenAI slack is a hell of an echo chamber.
I also have a feeling that $200 was where most users will draw the line. $500 looks like such a slippery slope in the field where all the recent SOTA models, including Chinese ones, are considered good enough for most work.
There also doesn't seem to be a lot of differentiation between the tiers. They claim (or previously claimed) that the $200 plan was 20x usage, but now they say $500 is 25x usage.
They've since taken down the 20x usage mention on their pricing page. <a href="https://archive.is/bCZav" rel="nofollow">https://archive.is/bCZav
