OpenAI Engineer: Astra Demand Is 'Unprecedented,' New Pro Subscriptions May Be Paused
Key Info
OpenAI's Tibo says demand for Astra is "really unprecedented," and the team is pulling every lever to sustain it; if demand continues, new Pro subscriptions may be temporarily paused to protect service for existing users.
Highlights
- Astra demand is described as unprecedented, even compared with OpenAI's earlier periods of very steep growth.
- The priority is to maintain excellent service for existing users rather than rapidly onboarding new ones.
- New Pro subscriptions could be paused for a while if current demand levels persist.
