I am curious: Why is it bad to merge chat and work? In Claude I didn't have a porblem with it (although I switched to an OpenAI subscription shortly after they made the merge). Isn't the model capable of deciding if it needs the extra capabilities of Work?

The current benefit is that chat has no quota.

There is a quota, they just don’t tell you what it is and when it resets. You only get “you’re all out of pro messages, try again later”

Pro messages is like 50 per week for pro 100 and 200 for pro 200.

Regular chat, even on extra high thinking mode, is sort of unlimited. Idk at what point you hit the abuse gaurdrail but its really high whatever it is.

Pro has a specific limit of weekly messages (50 for the $100 and 100 for $200 I believe)

The rest is basically unlimited unless you're doing something very weird.

Meanwhile I cant ask a simple question to Claude, not even to Haiku, because I used my claude code 5h limit.

Tibo posted yesterday I think it was that this will happen (by the end of the year, was it?)

Prepare to lose essentially unlimited chat mode.

I imagine many will move to claude, as I will (return), unless anthropic makes more blunders.

It's insane how hard OAI is choking, they had much better models than A/ who were fumbling this year to date... then blunder after blunder.

The only things that OAI still have over A/ are better coding agent GUI, no 5hr limit on >$100, much more reasonable cybersec guardrails (that allow most RE work) and... that's it.

From my point of view, as software engineer who is extensively used Claude Code and ChatGPT from the beginning, OpenAI is nailing it!
