DevDay 2026: OpenAI cooked… your wallet

OpenAI had DevDay and the internet is calling it "cooked" again. I see something else: a $500/month plan, a $200 plan that now gives you half the usage for the same price, and AI slowly turning into a luxury product. In this video: - What OpenAI actually announced at DevDay (Dots, GPT-6.1 Sol, Ultrafast, Agents API) - Why Pro 500 is basically the old Pro 200 with a bigger price tag - A world map: what $500/month costs you compared to median income in your country - What we actually need from AI: reliability, speed, fair prices - Why China's open-weight models might be the only thing keeping AI affordable Chapters: 00:00 Intro – I'm tired of the LLM bros 00:25 What OpenAI announced 00:55 Pro 500 vs Pro 200 01:20 Who can afford this? (world map) 01:40 What we actually need 02:05 R.I.P. OpenAI? Map data: World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform via Our World in Data. Median per-capita income/consumption, latest available year, PPP-adjusted (2017). In real dollars, the burden is even higher for lower-income countries. What do you think: will AI end up as a premium product, or will open models keep prices down? Let me know in the comments. #OpenAI #ChatGPT #AI
