Within the general theme of token subsidies slowing down, this seems like the logical step. In my mind the timeline goes something like this product wise: - Pepole figure out that having a general purpose not-just-coding agent actually works with newer models, openclaw and its buddies spawn - How do you get this to the general consumer? Offer integration with services even stronger than before and give the chat a cloud vm with persistent storage as one path, claude computer use as the other. - - Perplexity computer releases, and they slowly start nudging users from plan-included chat usage to more stongly limit using or even extra credit usage billed computer tasks - - chatgpt and other main labs do the same with work, but they can afford to subsidize it a bit more still by just having it use codex quota We'll see where it goes from here, but i do see the general trend of pushing people towards strongly billed features without explicitly taking away the previous chat experience because that'd make them look bad
