OpenAI Launches $100/Month ChatGPT Pro Tier and Discloses Mac App Security Incident Amid Physical Attack on Altman

OpenAI introduced a new $100/month ChatGPT Pro subscription tier, bridging the gap between the $20/month Plus plan and the $200/month Pro plan, offering five times more Codex usage for heavy vibe-coding and developer workloads. Separately, the company disclosed a security incident involving a third-party tool in its macOS desktop app workflow, though signing certificates were likely not compromised and passwords/API keys were unaffected. The announcements came amid heightened security concerns after a 20-year-old suspect was arrested for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's San Francisco home, followed by threats at OpenAI headquarters.
