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.
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.
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.
- Independent tests are still limited
- Older versions stay available for now
- Usage limits apply to long tasks
- Rolling out region by region
What to watch next
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.
The question is not whether it works in a demo. It is whether it works on Tuesday afternoon with real data.
A technology analyst
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 details
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.
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.

| Question | Short answer |
|---|---|
| Who is affected? | Most everyday users, gradually |
| Does it cost more? | Not for now |
| What should I do? | Try it on a low-stakes task first |
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.
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.
