Wasn't this move meant to be delayed until after the IPO?

This pre-IPO battle is very entertaining. Curious how it all ends

It's all speculation. Reality is Fable is x2 price increase against previous. GPT5.5 is x2 price increase against previous. And after the last week reset, codex is hungry for your sub allowance. Everybody can see that the massive raises are not matching the revenue, at all. It's a surprising headline. Yes it does make sense to cut the price to gain market share, but it also make sense to keep it at a sustainable level, which seems to not have been reached yet.

The frontier labs commonly trade spots at the top of the benchmarks with each new model release. The timing of these price cut discussions says to me OpenAI has no imminent release that will be edging out Mythos/Fable. If so the question becomes when can they do so, or is this possibly a turning point where Anthropic keeps the crown to themselves for the foreseeable future.

Nothing to do with price. Claude actually works - unless OpenAI can do that it would make no difference if it was free. It works unbelievably well actually - it’s truly amazing.
