OpenAI Introduces New $100 ChatGPT Pro Plan Amid Security Concerns

OpenAI has issued a security warning for Mac users regarding a vulnerability linked to the Axios library but claims no user data was compromised. Simultaneously, OpenAI launched a new $100/month subscription tier for ChatGPT, aimed at bridging the gap between its existing Plus ($20) and premium Pro ($200) plans, specifically targeting users of its Codex tool. This strategic move appears to be in direct competition with Anthropic's Claude, especially in the AI coding segment.
