the pricing is probably a mixture of dealing with GPU scarcity and intentionally discouraging actual users. I can't imagine the pressure they must be under to show they are releasing and staying ahead, but Altman's tweet makes it clear they aren't really ready to sell this to the general public yet.

I haven’t tried Grok yet so can’t speak to that, but I find o1-pro is much stronger than 3.7-thinking for e.g. distributed systems and concurrency problems.
