OpenAIAlexTibo is asking whether a $50 Pro plan with 5x limits and access to Dots would make sense?
I think it’s an interesting idea. For Dots to evolve, they need to reach more users. Of course, I’d love to see them roll out to Plus right away…

AnthropicAlexAnthropic just renamed Claude Max 5x to Max and Max 20x to Ultra, but the real news is WAY bigger than a rebrand
Verified Ultra users no longer have 5-hour usage limits. That's a massive upgrade, especially considering how generous Claude's limits already are…
