Passing o3's Price Drop on to You

For those that use LLMs, how many still use a subscription? Is it worth it? I've found a counsel of LLMs on free tier to be quite effective for my needs, but I'm curious if anyone feels strongly about needing to pay to get the advanced models.

Absolutely worth it. LLMs have saved me hundreds, if not thousands of hours already. They easily more than 3x my productivity, using pretty objective metrics like # of features shipped, etc.

Is there a particular one you pay for pro on? Or do you pay for several models?

gametorch · 2d ago

Cursor and gpt-4.1 or o3. I hardly ever write code myself anymore.

I say this as someone with a bachelor's in CS from a top school and years of experience at the most selective companies.

Maybe I'll get back on the subscriptions then... appreciate the perspective
