By skyforbes Those of us paying for the service are doing so for two things: folders and legacy models.
Nobody is paying $200 just for folders. We all know how to use IDEs. We can do our own folders if we have to.
4.1 is pretty much the go-to model at that price point. It is more sophisticated than 4o and it is faster than 4.5. The other models are powerful for deeper dedicated research but also very slow. For a lot of users at the level, 4.1 is the go-to.
Beyond that, every engineer I know who uses ML/AI heavy workflows prefers either Claude or Gemini if they are working through Cursor or Zed (and nobody works in VScode anymore
unless we have to)… So, anyone pretending that the users who expect their paid premium chat service to be able to…. …chat well… …are dumb because they should be using their browser/mobile chat app for coding instead…. Those people are the actual morons.
It is reasonable to want open communication from a service provider with open in their name.
