Through OpenRouter you can get Sol for $2 input / $10 output which makes it a really attractive choice amongst frontier models.

Wonder if that makes it cheaper than using on the sub (ignoring reset shenanigans)

I'd be very surprised if that were the case, unless they have severely devalued how much "100% usage" is worth – which, as I understand, they could at any point, given that they don't publicly specify how many tokens (or at least "credits" [1]) are included in each plan per month.

It really reminds me of pay-to-win games at this point: Two currencies (credits, tokens), both with a floating, intransparent exchange rate between each other and real money, random airdrops...

Yeah, it's not even close.

$20/m = appox API $700/m

$100/m = appox API $3,500/m

$200/m = appox API $14,000/m

though of course, approaching that number requires being ready to continue using it every five hours, stopping and starting all hours of the day and every day including weekends and holidays. possible to set up a harness to do if you have one single expensive task, but for most spiky ask-a-query collaborative work not easy to use all of.

Isn't the five hour limit effectively gone, at least on ChatGPT Plus? I haven't seen it in a while now.

I seem to hit it fairly regularly still, but i grant i use more sol than i should on my personal projects - they're mostly reverse engineering so imo quite hard

Oh, it just returned for me today as well. I'm pretty sure it was gone for the past few weeks though!
