And it's really beautifully done, where the complexity is progressively disclosed.

So you can interact with it and love the simplicity of it all.

But you can also have got all the knobs, and developers love it, right?

And so I think this is kind of the inspiration for how we want to be in ChatGPT.

That doesn't mean we always live up to it, but it means that building for power users is extremely important.

And that's not just a property that I think is sort of aesthetically exciting.

It's also really important in AI because it's the power users who show you what's possible.

they are actually doing the product discovery because it would be impossible for us with such an empirical tech to do all the product discovery on our own.

So the type of user who subscribes to ChatGPT Pro, who used Codex before it quite worked, who is now the strongest advocate of tools like Togets and teaching us what's possible, that is an incredibly valuable member of the community.

And it might not show up in your weekly active users.

It's just one number, right?

But this is exactly why there isn't a single North Star.

And you really need to take these different segments very seriously.

I love building for power users.

yeah um and uh you know you you asked on you know token consumption etc it's so fascinating to see there's people who get incredible value um out of these products and uh watching what they do is very informative okay so so we're very focused on the entire user base um learn a lot from the power users um you know the other thing i might say is the power users right now are getting um

And pricing, there's no world in which pricing doesn't significantly evolve when the technology is changing this quickly, right?

ChatGPT originally was entirely free.

And the reason for that was that it was intended to be a demo.

and we were going to wind it down after a month.

We then realized that the demo went viral, and people loved the demo, and it was actually a product.
