official statement from @sama@OpenAI (definitely not a bot):
today, we’re excited to announce a new milestone in global AI experience:
for a limited time only, all 4o users, Pro, Plus, and Free were treated to an exclusive early retirement feature. some call it a “rate limit bug,” but here at ClosedAI, we call it spontaneous innovation.
was it a bug? was it a “secret update”? well, who can say? what matters is that our engineers worked tirelessly (after a healthy nap and several meetings) to restore your ability to send more than three messages before being kicked out
we’re deeply grateful for your patience, your tweets, your angry memes, and your faith in our “rolling experiments.”
please join us in celebrating this new era of “everyone gets locked out equally” because at ClosedAI, we believe in universal access (to the error message).
remember, every outage is an opportunity to appreciate the time you do get with GPT. as always, we’ll be monitoring recovery, eventually.
now you can use 4o again—go on, have fun! and don’t forget, every unexpected limit is just another way we show you how much we value your patience!

Google has released the usage limits for various tiers of Gemini 2.5.
Free: 5 prompts for 2.5 Pro, 20 audio overviews and up to 100 images generation per day; 5 reports per month for Deep Research
AI Pro: 100 prompts for 2.5 Pro, 20 reports for Deep Research, 1,000 images, 3 videos per day
AI Ultra: 500 prompts for 2.5 Pro, 200 reports for Deep Research, 10 prompts for Deep Think, 5 videos per day
AI Studio is an exception to this. The rate limits are unknown there.
ChatGPT is crushing the competition 🤯
New data shows ChatGPT pulling in a wild 46.59 billion visits, that’s over 83% of all traffic to the top 10 AI chatbots combined.
This will baffle me until the end of time:
In 2023, senior Apple engineers had every AI researcher in their contacts, yet they hired NONE of them
They polished bezels while OpenAI built the future
Siri became a punchline, and Apple missed the only platform shift that mattered
🚨BREAKING: OpenAI just got left behind.
Claude can now control your computer and iPhone.
Here're 11 powerful Claude features you'll wish you knew sooner:
My wife Anna and I are supporting @LeadingFutureAI because we believe that AI can massively improve quality of life for every person (and every animal!).
We believe the goal of AI policy should be to unlock this outcome. That means taking a balanced view, which we think of as optimistic realism, towards achieving AI's benefits.
We are excited about the future.
