In a post on X, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman argued that people "come for the best model" and stay because OpenAI does not "treat you with contempt." Some visible reactions on X treated the line as both a brag about model quality and a contrast with other companies' user relations. Visible quote-posts and replies on X show why it traveled: supporters treated it as a fair description of OpenAI's current developer posture, especially around API rate-limit resets and what one user called "banked rate resets."
