Remember when paying $20 a month for an AI subscription felt expensive?

Now OpenAI is asking some users to pay $500 a month for ChatGPT Pro. And that’s only one of the things getting surprisingly expensive in AI.

Here's what else happened in AI while you were busy.

  • Turn Invoices Into a Simple Finance Workflow

  • ChatGPT Pro Just Got a $500 Plan

  • Meta Is Giving Muse a Job

  • OpenAI Is Reportedly Raising $30B

  • Manus Just Made AI Agents More Flexible

  • OpenAI Just Dropped GPT-6.1 Sol

  • Build a Movie Recap Channel With AI

🧾 Turn Invoices Into a Simple Finance Workflow

  • BillOver: Start by scanning your invoices and let AI capture the important details, organize expenses, and handle tax categorization.

  • Smart Profit: Turn that information into professional invoices and estimates, then manage payments and reminders from one place.

  • Solidsign: When a document needs approval or a signature, send it for e-signature and keep the process digital.

The payoff: Go from handling invoices and expenses to getting documents signed without manually managing every step.

🆕 AI’s Latest Drops

Manus has introduced Manus Flex, a new way to give teams more control over how AI agents work and scale. The update is focused on making Manus easier to adapt to different workloads and business needs.

Meta is expanding Muse beyond personal tasks with Muse for Small Business. The AI agent can now connect with tools like Shopify, Canva, Slack, Stripe, Notion, QuickBooks, and more to help businesses handle things like sales, marketing, finances, and customer work.

OpenAI is reportedly negotiating a massive $30 billion pre-IPO funding round that would value the company at around $1.4 trillion. The potential deal would rank among the largest private funding rounds ever.

OpenAI has announced a new $500-per-month ChatGPT Pro plan aimed at users who need much higher access to its most capable models and tools. It adds another tier for people who use AI heavily for demanding professional work.

OpenAI has introduced GPT-6.1 Sol, a new model designed to bring near-Astra performance to complex coding, computer use, and professional work at a lower cost. It also supports up to a 1.05M-token context window, tool use, and multiple reasoning levels.

The interesting part is the tradeoff. Sol sits between GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6 Luna, aiming to give developers strong reasoning and agentic capabilities without Astra’s higher cost. It’s already rolling out in ChatGPT Work and Codex, as well as the API.
