Elon Musk's feud with OpenAI has intensified as Musk accuses the AI firm of deviating from its nonprofit roots, leading to a lawsuit that seeks damages between $79 billion and $134 billion. OpenAI has labeled Musk's recent proposals as a 'legal ambush' aimed at disrupting the proceedings, which are set to begin on April 27, 2026. Concurrently, OpenAI is urging Mac users to update its software, including ChatGPT and Codex, in light of security vulnerabilities linked to third-party tools.
OpenAI is testing a feature in ChatGPT that allows users to save a 'reference photo' for AI image generation, eliminating the repetitive need to upload images. While promising, this feature is not yet fully functional, suggesting phased implementation.
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.
