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, […]

The number one reason ChatGPT cancellations “don’t work” has nothing to do with OpenAI’s website. It’s that ChatGPT runs on three separate billing systems, and most people try to cancel in the wrong one. If you signed up on iPhone, Apple bills you. If you signed up on Android, Google bills you. If you signed up on chatgpt.com, OpenAI bills you. Cancel in the wrong place and your subscription keeps charging, whether it’s Plus at $20/month or Pro at $200/month. This guide covers every cancellation path that exists in 2026, across every paid tier. The same iPhone, Android, and web steps work for Plus, Pro, and Go, since they all […]

ChatGPT has come a long way from being a fun AI experiment to becoming the default assistant for millions of users. OpenAI now offers seven ChatGPT pricing tiers in 2026, ranging from a free plan with ads to custom Enterprise contracts for large organizations. The biggest recent changes include GPT-5.5 replacing GPT-5.4 as the default flagship on April 23, 2026 (with a new GPT-5.5 Pro variant for Pro, Business, and Enterprise users), the Pro $100/month tier launched April 9, 2026, the Go plan going global at $8/month (January 2026), and ads appearing on Free and Go tiers in the US. Plus remains the most popular option at $20/month, while the […]

GPT-5.5 now sits at 59 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (#2 of 141 models), two points ahead of Gemini 3.1 Pro at 57. The April 23, 2026 launch flipped what had been a dead heat into a clear ChatGPT lead on most head-to-head benchmarks. But that single number hides massive differences in what each AI actually does best, and choosing the wrong one could mean paying for features you don’t need while missing the ones you do. This comparison breaks down every meaningful difference between ChatGPT and Gemini in April 2026. We cover the latest models (GPT-5.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro), benchmark performance, pricing across all tiers, and clear […]

Claude hit #1 on the App Store in early 2026, pushing ChatGPT out of the top spot for the first time. The catalyst was Anthropic publicly refusing the Pentagon’s demand to deploy its models for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, after which the government labelled Anthropic a “supply chain risk.” The backlash flipped the script: users migrated to Claude out of sympathy for Anthropic’s stance, and the company reported over 60% growth in free users and more than doubled paid subscribers in just a few months. For more on how the two companies’ philosophies shape what you actually see in the chat window, we broke down how Claude and ChatGPT […]

OpenAI dropped GPT-5.5 on April 23, 2026, and it is now the most capable ChatGPT model the company ships. GPT-5.5 scores 93.6% on GPQA Diamond, 82.7% on Terminal-Bench 2.0, and 78.7% on OSWorld-Verified, all ahead of GPT-5.4, while its Pro variant pushes BrowseComp to 90.1% and FrontierMath Tier 4 to 39.6%. In under nine months, OpenAI has shipped six distinct versions of GPT-5, each with its own identity and price point. If you have lost track of what separates GPT-5.0 from GPT-5.5, this guide covers every model in the family, release dates, context windows, benchmarks, pricing, and the key differences that actually matter. We also look ahead at what ChatGPT […]

On April 21, 2026, OpenAI shipped ChatGPT Images 2.0, the first image model that can actually read what you ask it to write. That single change, readable text inside the image, is what finally turns ChatGPT into a real infographic and poster tool for everyday users. No more gibberish headlines. No more broken bullet points. You type the exact text you want, the model places it cleanly, and you download a finished visual. This guide is for the people who need to make a visual today, not design pros. If you’re a teacher building a classroom handout, a student making a conference poster, a marketer pushing a campaign graphic, or […]

On April 23, 2026, OpenAI introduced GPT-5.5, its most capable model to date and the first fully retrained base model since GPT-4.5. The release brings state-of-the-art scores on Terminal-Bench 2.0, OSWorld, and GDPval, a much stronger agentic coding profile in Codex, a new Pro tier, and a pricing step up that reflects the jump in intelligence. GPT-5.5 is rolling out to Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users across ChatGPT and Codex. GPT-5.5 Pro is available to Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers. For anyone using Fello AI on Mac, iPhone, or iPad, GPT-5.5 will be available in upcoming weeks alongside Claude 4.6, Gemini 3, DeepSeek, Kimi-K2.6, and Perplexity in the same […]

On April 16, 2026, OpenAI pushed the biggest update yet to its Codex Mac app and the headline is simple, Codex can now take control of your Mac. The feature is called codex mac computer use, and it lets Codex see your screen, move its own cursor, click, and type across any macOS app you have open. OpenAI also added an in-app browser, image generation with gpt-image-2.0, memory, and over 90 new plugins in the same release. We spent a day with the updated app on Apple Silicon and on an Intel Mac. The short version, Codex on Mac stopped being a coding tool and turned into a general-purpose agent […]
