@kimmonismus: 'We won', the confusing maths, and some rumours

30 October 2026, 11:53 · 4 sources · Curated by Sara Simeone

@kimmonismus celebrated OpenAI calling off the Pro 200 cut, then noted that the announcement's wording on Pro 200 doesn't quite add up. He also shared one user's story of OpenAI's Dot assistant catching a date mix-up unprompted, passed on attendee reports from an Alibaba event that Qwen 4 is due 'next week' (unconfirmed), and was early to spot Canva Brush.

Why it mattersUseful early signals, but treat the Qwen 4 date as a rumour until Alibaba announces it.
