OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a temporary increase to the rate limit for reasoning models across all user tiers. This decision, affecting all model classes, comes after the company analyzed new data regarding user access to reasoning capabilities.
While the rate limit is being boosted for now, OpenAI acknowledges that this change necessitates a capacity trade-off. Looking ahead, the company is evaluating how to best manage this, suggesting potential adjustments to features offered on the free tier to accommodate the increased usage of reasoning models. The company implies that users of the free tier might lose access to some features in the future.
