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.
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 details
For most readers, the change will be gradual. Paid users get access first, then the feature moves to free plans over the following weeks. Businesses usually wait for admin controls before they switch anything on.
- Available first to paid plans
- API access at a separate price
- No change to default privacy settings
- Independent tests are still limited
How we reported this
The timing is not an accident. Competitors have shipped similar updates in recent months, and every lab wants to be the default choice when a company signs a yearly contract.
The question is not whether it works in a demo. It is whether it works on Tuesday afternoon with real data.
A technology analyst
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.
What happened
Regulators have not commented yet. In the EU, new obligations for general-purpose models mean that documentation like this is now expected rather than optional.
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.
