My quick take is that subscriptions will survive in the mid- to long-term, but the available models will be tiered.
Shifting to full API pricing is too drastic for most individual users, and competitors would likely swoop in and gobble up the market.
The more likely scenario is that your subscription gets you a specific amount of subsidized tokens for each model, and auto-model selection will become the norm.
A lot also depends on whether open-source models survive any impending regulation. If there's no competition for the big players, expect prices to skyrocket, especially as people and companies become even more dependent on frontier models for doing work.
Hi,
Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200 subscriptions to new subscribers, but together with it we are also changing how we calculate the usage for it. In effect, if you do the math, it will net out at half the dollar in API spend compared to the old Pro $200 plan.
Now that it's said, let me explain why this is happening and why you will still get more work done than if you were on the Pro $200 subscription one month ago.
(a) We didn't want to compromise in other ways and are committing to not reintroducing the 5h limit, so that you can fully use the weekly usage when you want.
(b) On the subscription, we guarantee that over time you always get more work done and with an increasing level of quality. This means that you will continue to get more value per dollar spent as a result of models getting more efficient and us passing down the improvements in the form of API price reductions.
(c) We don't want to put an incentive on ourselves to artificially inflate the API list prices to make it look like you are getting a lot (and workaround it through discounts, etc). Instead we want to continue to both rapidly reduce prices and increase capabilities of models on the API. This week we introduced GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna at 50% of their previous price. Over time, we see prices go low enough that it makes sense for most to buy usage as needed without there being a significant gap between what you get in a subscription and what you get in the API for a dollar spent.
(d) Tomorrow, we are adding more things to the subscription that won't draw on the usage, I won't reveal what that is yet.
I wanted to be transparent before all the big announcements tomorrow. Lots of new exciting things are coming to the subscriptions that will make it super compelling, but I wanted to make sure to share this change ahead of time so you can all understand it before we shower you with good news.
Codexingly,
Tibo

Grump & Kit review Taylor Swift’s new Life of a Showgirl songs.
Four songs. Two completely opposite opinions.
Kit: “I love it!” 💕
Grump: “It sounds like The Office is about to start.”

How it was made:
- Character concepts created in Midjourney, then refined in GPT-Image-2.5
- Character sheets, props, and studio set created in GPT-Image-2.5
- Video generated using @runwayml (Seedance 2.5) Tool mode. I skipped agent mode for more control over the inputs and prompts.

Sharing some interesting free creative tools built with the help of generative AI. Many are open source, so you can contribute features and fixes, and even personalize them for your needs.
This trend will only get stronger as more creators start working with coding agents.
A few that caught my eye recently. 🧵

@trymirage built an AI-native After Effects/Premiere replacement called Tesseract. You tell your agent what you want, it does the actual editing, and it renders locally. 🔥 (Tony Stark would be proud!)
It's free, has 250+ tools (keyframes, masks, adjustment layers, time remapping, compositions, sound), and they just added Linux support.
I think this leans into a bigger shift... where creative tools get leaner, with less clicking and less UI, and the agent does the work.

We rebuilt After Effects and Premiere for GPT-6 Astra and Sol.
Introducing Tesseract.
The video creative suite for your AI agent.
Give your agent direct access to our creative engine.
No more clicking through software built for people.
→ Edit footage, motion, and sound
→ Make precise changes with full creative control
→ Revise and render directly through your agent
And yes, this video was made with Tesseract.

Although not a creative tool on its own, I have to mention Omarchy. The beautifully designed, super-fast Linux distro (built on Arch) by @dhh.
I've been testing v4 for about a month, and it's refreshingly fast with so much attention to detail. The main thing holding me back from switching full-time are my creative apps.
But at this pace, it feels like Omarchy could shake up the OS space soon by becoming a very attractive option for developers and creators looking for a faster, more personalized experience.

Omarchy Quattro is out!! This is one of the greatest software releases in my professional career. I hope you enjoy using it just as much as I did building it ✌️ omarchy.org/

You can now search the AIFilmHistory(.org) Films archive by genre.
It took some time to classify all the films (each film can have up to two genres), but it's shaping up.
Also, big thanks to everyone in the community who submitted films. Your films are now live. Loving all those classic 2023/2024 generative shorts. ☺️

How it was made:
1) I started with style exploration in Midjourney 8.2 and landed on a late 70s/80s aesthetic that I liked.
2) I labeled the Midjourney images in Photoshop and created one character sheet with all the characters and some props (e.g. the computer)
3) I wrote a plot summary and basic script and expanded it into a Seedance 2.5 prompt using GPT Sol.
4) I used the Runway plugin inside ChatGPT to pass all the references and the script/prompt to Runway to generate the 30 second clip.

This week in AI film history! 🎬
Looking back 3 years in the AI Film History archives.
1. Sept 22, 2023: @CuriousRefuge builds "Can AI Make a Star Wars Film?" in a few hours as a demo for a Hollywood talk, with Midjourney stills, Pika motion, ElevenLabs voices and Wav2Lip lip sync.
2. Sept 23, 2023: @AIandDesign posts three Runway Gen-2 films: Euphoria, Disclosure and The Deoxyreibonucleic Hyperdimension. They all lean into Gen-2's melting drift.
3. Sept 25, 2023: the 148-day strike ends and the @WGAWest contract sets Hollywood's first enforceable AI rules: AI can't write literary material, and writers can't be required to use it.
4. Sept 19, 2024: @Kling_ai 1.5 adds Motion Brush (similar to Runway's Gen-2 motion brush in Nov 2023), letting creators paint motion instead of prompting.
5. Sept 18, 2025: @LumaLabsAI releases Ray3, billed as the first "reasoning" video model, with native 16-bit HDR output in ACES EXR.
6. Sept 23, 2025: Kling 2.5 Turbo improves physics and cause-and-effect and cuts the price by almost 30%.
