Prices did not change, but limits did. Heavy users may hit the new caps sooner, especially when they upload large files or run long tasks in the background.
The practical advice is the same as always: try it on a low-stakes task first, check the output against a source you trust, and keep a human in charge of anything that matters.
What happened
We will update this story as more independent testing is published. If you have used the feature and want to share what you found, write to the editorial team.
- API access at a separate price
- Independent tests are still limited
- Available first to paid plans
- Older versions stay available for now
The bigger picture
If you use these tools at work, ask your administrator whether the new feature is turned on, and what the company policy says about using it with customer data.
We are seeing steady progress, not a leap. That is still useful for the people who rely on these tools every day.
An independent researcher
The announcement came with a short blog post, a technical document and a handful of demos. As usual, the demos show the best case. We read the documentation to see what the product does on an ordinary day.
What critics say
Developers get the same capability through the API, with a separate price list. Several startups said they will update their products within days, which is usually how new features reach most people.
Not everyone is convinced. Some analysts say the update is mostly about catching up with rivals rather than moving the field forward. Others point to small but useful changes that the headlines missed.
