OpenAI offers API credits to eligible ChatGPT subscribers
OpenAI launched a plan almost identical to Anthropic's: users on the $100, $200, or $500 subscription plans receive an equivalent amount of credits for one API organization under their name. Simon Willison, who holds subscriptions to both companies, said this change may lead him to publish some public-facing demos.

OpenAI have now launched pretty much exactly the same deal: if you have a $100, $200, or $500 subscription plan with them you now get that same quantity of credits to apply to one of your API organizations.
I maintain subscriptions with both companies, so this is great news for me! I may even ship some public-facing demos now that the credits are already covered by my existing subscriptions.
