ChatGPT Opens Bank Data to All Plus Users; White House Blocks New OpenAI Models

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

ChatGPT's personal finance feature, previously Pro-only, is now available to all Plus subscribers, allowing them to connect bank accounts via Plaid. OpenAI released three new models—Sol, Terra, and Luna—but the White House restricted access after Sol matched a cyber capability threshold. Japan's government is investing $70M to subsidize AI translation for anime, aiming to reduce piracy and grow the official subscriber base from 100M to 300M.

Meridian48 take
