    it did jump up but in my experience Codex is still better than GH Copilot pricing for the same model(s). I'm hoping after this price bump, they will start undercutting each other eventually and get it back to some more reasonable pricing model.

      But the discounted prices only exist because of endless VC fundraising, right? I’m no expert, but I don’t reckon they’re sustainable without substantial outside funding. It seems akin to hoping uber would go back to charging like $8 to bring you to the airport in a limousine if competition compelled them to — going out of business would be the more likely outcome.

        yes and no. Ai models become more efficient (I've seen a comparison somewhere). So even if the prices stay the same, usage could go down. Also, in the uber example, there's no free alternative, unlike ai models. I'm yet to try qwen and some others though, so can't vouch for them.

      +1 for codex (have moved to it from claude code; and am quite happy about it); but i do hope they keep pricing affordable and consistent
