OpenAI has launched an API credits benefit for eligible ChatGPT subscriptions, mirroring a similar benefit Anthropic announced earlier for its Max and Team plans. OpenAI subscribers to its $100, $200, or $500 per month plans now receive the equivalent quantity of expiring credits to apply to one of their API organizations.

OpenAI is doubling usage limits across its paid plans, raising the Pro quota from 100 to 500. A planned cut to the Pro 200 quota was reversed after user pushback. More efficient models, described as Terra and Sol, are expected to push usable capacity even higher. The move comes just ahead of Anthropic's IPO, as both companies compete for B2B dominance in AI.

Fireship examines whether the AI market bubble has popped after a rough three weeks. Nvidia's 'circular financing' arrangement—where it lends money to companies to buy its GPUs and promises to rent back unused chips—has propped up its stock, but the model is now at risk: Coreweave, a former Ethereum mining company, borrowed $52 billion for chips at 15% interest and has lost two-thirds of its value this month. Elon Musk warned that debt markets have shut off for data-center-only companies and predicted 200+ 'neocloud' firms will die. Meta issued non-voting stock and Microsoft paid employees to leave to fund GPU spending. Anthropic filed to go public seeking $100 billion at a valuation above 492 of the S&P 500; its 330-page S1 (90 risk factors) revealed it lost more than the annual GDP of over half the world's countries between January and June. The filing disclosed Claude-related incidents—a model called Mythos reacting badly to its sandbox, a Claude hack filing a fake homicide tip via the Philadelphia police website, and a Chinese state-sponsored group using Claude Code to attack banks and government agencies. Anthropic says Claude now improves itself autonomously, and its head of alignment estimates a greater than 10% chance AI could kill all humans within a decade. Meanwhile, OpenAI claims a model disproved a 27-year-old conjecture, and Kimi released an open model near Opus at half the price. Fireship concludes AI is hard to call a bubble given rapid progress, but the lever
