OpenAI has a new $100 ChatGPT Pro plan to better match up with Claude
OpenAI has closed a yawning gap in its ChatGPT subscription pricing with a new $100 per month Pro plan that slots between the $20 per month Plus plan and $200 per month Pro plan. Offering five times more Codex than the $20 option, it appears designed to challenge Anthropic's $100 per month Claude option. "Compared with Claude Code, Codex delivers more coding capacity per dollar across paid tiers," an OpenAI spokesperson told TechCrunch. 

So what's the difference between OpenAI's two Pro plans? The $200 version does offer four times the Codex. However, you get the same advanced tools and models with $100 plan, according to OpenAI's product page. To encourage users to jump in, it will offer double the Codex for a limited time, or 10 times what you get with the Plus plan. 

Users have been screaming for such a plan for a while now, according to posts on OpenAI's developer community forums. "The Plus plan will continue to be the best offer at $20 for steady, day-to-day usage of Codex, and the new $100 Pro tier offers a more accessible upgrade path for heavier daily use," OpenAI said in a post on X.

However, the sticking point for many power users was ChatGPT's $200 per month price — so OpenAI

Microsoft starts removing unnecessary Copilot buttons in Windows 11
Microsoft has rolled out a Notepad update for Windows Insiders that removes the Copilot branding and icon from within the app, Windows Central has reported. The old Copilot menu has been replaced with "writing tools," but it's worth noting that the tools are still powered by AI and are pretty much identical to the selection found in the old menu. Microsoft has just replaced the Copilot button with a pen icon. In addition, the company has removed mentions of AI in the Settings menu and has placed the option to disable the AI-powered writing tools within the "Advanced features" section.

The company first announced that it was dialing back its Copilot branding last month, most likely in response to all the criticisms against the AI assistant. It's not very well-liked, with people complaining that Microsoft is forcing them to use the assistant inside all its apps and that Copilot doesn't provide a consistent experience across different applications. "You will see us be more intentional about how and where Copilot integrates across Windows," said Windows and Devices EVP Pavan Davuluri. Microsoft also promised to remove "unnecessary Copilot entry points," starting with Not
