100-word summary
OpenAI just launched a ChatGPT Pro tier at $100 monthly, offering 10 times more Codex coding capacity than the $20 Plus plan through May 31. The release bundles GPT-5.4 (which jumped to 83% accuracy from 70.9% on knowledge-work tasks), desktop apps for Mac and Windows, and Outlook integration that lets ChatGPT manage shared mailboxes and team calendars. Enterprise users get a plugin directory to package repeatable coding workflows. The timing matters: OpenAI is betting developers will pay five times more per month if the AI can finally handle multi-hour coding sessions without hitting rate limits.
