OpenAI has had quite a busy schedule with its "OpenAI's 12 days of shipmas." Over the past week, the ChatGPT maker has made multiple releases, big and small, including the launch of a new $200 ChatGPT subscription tier dubbed ChatGPT Pro with unlimited access to OpenAI o1, GPT-4o, and Advanced Voice mode. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model also shipped to broad availability.
Recently, Apple launched a new version of its Apple Intelligence tech baked with ChatGPT as part of the iOS 18.2 update with many AI-powered features, including Image Playground, Genmoji, and more. However, OpenAI was seemingly affected by technical difficulties, preventing its broad user base from accessing ChatGPT and its capabilities globally. The issue also affected other OpenAI services, including its API and Sora.
