OpenAI keeps new models out of regular Chat, ignores support for weeks, and now reportedly wants $500/month?

OpenAI is reportedly considering a $500/month ChatGPT plan, raising concerns among users. The company has been criticized for deploying its newest models, such as GPT-6 Sol/Luna and Astra, exclusively to Work and Codex versions, rather than integrating them into the regular Chat experience. This strategy has left even paying Pro users without access to the latest models in their standard chat interface, leading to questions about OpenAI's priorities and support for its user base.
