ChatGPT’s new Pro subscription will cost you $200 per month

 

OpenAI's boss said the new tier will be good for ‘a small percentage of users [who] want to use ChatGPT a TON’

 

OpenAI has debuted a new subscription tier called ChatGPT Pro, costing a whopping $200 a month. It offers users unlimited access to all of OpenAI’s models, including GPT-4o, Advanced Voice Mode, and the full version of its new o1 "reasoning" model, as well as exclusive access to o1 Pro mode, which “uses more compute for the best answers to the hardest questions.”

In a post on X, OpenAI’s boss said that “almost everyone will be best-served by our free tier or the [existing] $20/month plus tier,” adding that the $200 tier is aimed at extreme users ...

The Motorola Razr Plus just got a striking new color

 

Take a long hard look and ask yourself, 'Do I like it?'

 

The Motorola Razr Plus 2024 is now available in the 2025 Pantone Color of the Year — Mocha Mousse. In addition to the Razr Plus 2024, the rich mocha is also available for the Motorola Edge 50 neo in markets where it’s available, Digital Trends reported. Brown is an unusual color choice for a phone, with companies usually opting for futuristic, neutral tones like silver, black, and white, or bright colors like the Koala Grey, Beach Sand, and Spritz Orange options currently available for the Razr 2024. 

“Mocha Mousse reinforces the importance of savoring the moment — a reminder to indulge in life’s simple pleasures,” a Motorola executive said in an announcement ...

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle review

 

The game delivers 'plenty of Nazi-punching catharsis, but brainy exploration is its real superpower'

 

In his hands-on review of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Digital Trends’ senior gaming editor Giovanni Colantonio describes it as a “globe-trotting action-adventure romp [that] becomes a slapstick comedy about outsmarting fascism rather than outgunning it.” If that’s not enough to get you interested, then dive into the full review for more details, and check out this official gameplay reveal trailer, too.
