Grok Imagine Spicy Mode: How to Enable It (and What xAI Actually Allows)

Grok Imagine Spicy Mode is xAI’s opt-in adult-content tier inside the Grok Imagine image and video generator. Since launching on August 4, 2025, it has been the most permissive feature shipped by any major AI lab. It allows partial nudity, suggestive scenes, and what xAI describes as “bolder cinematic tones,” but it is not a porn generator. Elon Musk publicly clarified the standard on March 12, 2026: “If it’s allowed in an R-rated movie, it’s allowed in Grok Imagine.” Curious how Grok’s chatbot stacks up against ChatGPT for everyday tasks? See our full Grok vs ChatGPT comparison. That single line is the cleanest way to think about it. Spicy Mode […]

ChatGPT Mac App Not Working? How to Fix It (2026)

Update — May 12, 2026: The certificate revocation went live on schedule on May 8, 2026. If your ChatGPT, Codex, Codex CLI, or Atlas Mac app now refuses to open and shows a “damaged” or “cannot be verified” warning, this guide still works; the fastest fix is a fresh download from chatgpt.com/download, since the in-app updater is no longer reachable from any build signed with the revoked certificate. On May 8, 2026, OpenAI revoked the macOS code-signing certificate it had used to sign ChatGPT, Codex, Codex CLI, and Atlas through April 2026. From that day on, macOS Gatekeeper refuses to launch any version still signed with the old certificate, so […]

Thumbnail showing bold white and amber text reading “KLING AI PRICING 2026” with the subtitle “Plans, credits & real video cost,” beside a glossy black app-style icon with the Kling AI logo on a dark purple-blue neon background.

Kling AI Pricing: Plans, Credits & Real Cost Per Video

Kling AI pricing in 2026 covers five plans. Free is $0/month with 66 daily credits, Standard is $10/month, Pro is $37/month, Premier is $92/month, and Ultra sits at the top at $180/month. New subscribers pay a discounted first month (Standard $6.99, Pro $25.99, Premier $64.99, Ultra $127.99), then plans renew at a smaller standing discount. The catch is the credit system; every video burns a different amount of credits depending on the model, the mode, and whether you turn on native audio. That’s why the headline price tells you almost nothing about what you’ll actually spend. The cheap $6.99 Standard price you see advertised only applies to your first month; […]

Claude Code Pricing 2026: Plans, Costs, Free Tier Explained

Claude Code costs $20/month on the Pro plan ($17 annual), $100/month on Max 5x, $200/month on Max 20x, $25/seat/month on Team Standard ($20 annual), $125/seat/month on Team Premium ($100 annual), or $20/seat plus API usage on Enterprise. The Free Claude tier does not include Claude Code. API access bills per token at $1/$5 per million on Haiku 4.5, $3/$15 on Sonnet 4.6, and $5/$25 on Opus 4.7. The Claude for Open Source program offers six months of Max 20x free for qualifying maintainers, a $1,200 value. That short answer is also the long story of Claude Code pricing in 2026. Anthropic shipped three policy changes in 60 days and briefly […]

Grok Imagine: What It Is, How to Use It, and What It Can Do

Grok Imagine is the fastest AI video generator most people can actually use right now. It takes a text prompt, a voice command, or a still photo and turns it into a short video with synchronized audio in roughly 17 seconds. That’s faster than Sora 2 or Veo 3.1 by a wide margin. xAI launched it on July 28, 2025 and shipped Grok Imagine 1.0 on February 1, 2026, raising the cap to 10-second clips at 720p with dramatically better sound. Curious how Grok’s chatbot stacks up against ChatGPT for everyday tasks? See our full Grok vs ChatGPT comparison. This guide covers what Grok Imagine actually is, the five workflows […]

Otter AI Pricing 2026: Plans, Cost, and Is It Worth It?

Otter AI pricing in 2026 covers four plans. Basic is free at $0/month, Pro costs $8.33/user/month annual ($16.99 monthly), Business costs $19.99/user/month annual ($30 monthly), and Enterprise is custom-priced with SSO and OtterPilot for Sales. The free Basic tier includes 300 transcription minutes per month with a 30-minute cap per conversation, Pro lifts the allowance to 1,200 minutes and 90 minutes per call, and Business removes the minute cap entirely with a 4-hour ceiling per meeting. The catch on Pro is that Otter quietly cut the plan from 6,000 to 1,200 transcription minutes without lowering the price, so heavy users burn through the allowance in under two weeks. This guide […]

Who Created ChatGPT? The Full Story Behind OpenAI

ChatGPT was created by OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research company founded on December 11, 2015 by Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, Elon Musk, Wojciech Zaremba, John Schulman and a small group of researchers. ChatGPT itself was built by OpenAI’s research team and launched publicly on November 30, 2022. It reached 1 million users in 5 days and 100 million monthly users in 2 months, the fastest consumer product adoption in history at that point. The short answer is “OpenAI built it,” but the longer answer is more interesting. ChatGPT did not appear out of nowhere. It sat on top of a decade of work, a controversial Elon Musk exit, […]

Manus AI Pricing 2026: Free Plan, Pro Tiers, Credits & Real Costs

Manus AI pricing in 2026 covers five price points across three plans. Free is $0/month with 300 daily credits, Pro Entry is $20/month for 4,000 credits, Pro Mid is $40/month for 8,000 credits with a 7-day free trial, Pro Top is $200/month for 40,000 credits, and Team starts at $20 per seat per month with a 2-member minimum. Annual billing saves 17% across every paid tier. The catch is the credit system, because a single deep-research task can quietly burn through 900 to 1,000+ credits of your monthly allocation and Manus does not tell you the cost before you hit go. This guide breaks down every current plan, exactly how […]

Notion AI Pricing 2026: Every Plan, Cost, and the Add-On Change Explained

Notion AI pricing in 2026 has four plan tiers: Free at $0, Plus at $10/user/month ($12 monthly), Business at $20/user/month ($24 monthly), and Enterprise at custom pricing. Full Notion AI is now bundled into Business and Enterprise. The standalone $10 add-on was retired in May 2025 and Custom Agents now bill at $10 per 1,000 Notion credits as of May 4, 2026. That single change reshaped the math for every Notion team. If you were paying $8 for Plus plus $10 for AI, you were on $18/seat. The same setup today is $20/seat on Business, with more AI features baked in but no easy way out for solo writers who […]
