OpenAI rolls out cheapest ChatGPT plan at $4.6 in India to chase growth
Global companies often offer cheaper subscription plans for India's price-sensitive market, targeting the nearly one billion internet users in the world's most populous nation.
The plan allows users to send up to ten times more messages and generate ten times more images compared to the free version, while also offering faster response times. Message limits increase with higher-tier subscription plans.
ChatGPT Go is designed for Indians who want greater access to ChatGPT's advanced capabilities at a more affordable price, the Microsoft-backed startup said in a statement.
The top-tier version of ChatGPT - ChatGPT Pro - is priced at 19,900 rupees/month in India, while ChatGPT Plus, its mid-range plan, costs 1,999 rupees/month.
Earlier this year, CEO Sam Altman met with India's IT minister and discussed a plan to create a low-cost AI ecosystem.

ChatGPT is currently experiencing a significant outage, with thousands of users reporting issues starting Wednesday evening. The problems began around 7:19 PM Jordan time (GMT+3) on August 20, 2025. Downdetector, a popular outage-tracking website, saw a sharp spike in reports, with over 1,941 users flagging issues with the service within minutes. Users across social media platforms quickly began reporting error messages and an inability to generate responses from the chatbot. OpenAI has officially acknowledged the problem on its status page. A message posted by the company confirms the ongoing disruption, "We're currently experiencing issues." Under the ChatGPT section, the status is listed as "Degraded Performance," with a specific note clarifying the problem as "ChatGPT Conversation Errors." This indicates that while the main site might be accessible for some, the core function of engaging in a conversation with the AI is failing.

Google Gemini can now read your Docs aloud
Ammon News - Google Docs will now let you generate an audio version of your documents using AI. In a post announcing the rollout, Google says you can customize Gemini's AI audio output with different voices and playback speeds. This feature isn't just for a document's creator, as Google says readers can access a shared document's AI-generated audio by selecting the Tool dropdown menu and selecting Audio > Listen to this tab. Authors can also add a customizable audio button directly in a document by choosing Insert > Audio, which readers can click to start listening. Google announced plans to let you turn your documents into AI podcasts in April, but this feature seems a lot handier if you just want to listen to what you've written. You can only generate audio versions of documents in English and on desktop devices for now. Google is rolling out audio in Docs to Workspace users with business, enterprise, or education plans, as well as users who have AI Pro and Ultra subscriptions. The Verge

The White House just joined TikTok
Ammon News - While it was President Joe Biden who signed the law that would force ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok or face a ban, it's his successor, Donald Trump, who has yet to fulfill his promise of arranging a deal to keep TikTok running, legally, in the United States. The current deadline for a deal is September 17th. Still, it hasn't stopped Trump's administration from creating @WhiteHouse on TikTok, which published its first post on Tuesday night: a video celebrating Trump's accomplishments. The ban has only seen TikTok shut down in the US for one day, and its impact has been delayed three times. The first time was in January, when Trump took office and signed an executive order delaying enforcement of the ban for 75 days; then there was another delay in April, after a potential deal fell through due to Trump's harsh tariffs against China, and then in June, when he stated that he believed Chinese President Xi Jinping was open to a deal if a buyer emerged. While Trump tried to ban TikTok in 2020, his stance softened during his re-election campaign once his team learned how many supporters Trump had on the platform. In 2024, the Trump campaign launched its own official account, @TeamTrump, and quickly dominated the platform, getting more followers and views on their content than former Vice President Kamala Harris's now-dormant campaign account — 2.8 billion to 2.2 billion, according to journalist Kyle Tharp. A Republican digital operative close to the campaign heavily credited Trump, a former reality TV star, for his ability to generate attention-grabbing moments that could be transformed into viral content. 'TikTok is primarily an entertainment app,' he previously told The Verge, 'and our usage of it was just significantly more savvy than [the Democrats].' Although the legality of and ulterior motives behind a TikTok ban remain a serious question, the Trump administration, for now, appears to find utility in maintaining an account on the platform. 'Why would I want to get rid of TikTok?' Trump said on Truth Social in January, sharing a post about the billions of views his campaign account continued to rack up. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt repeated this stance after the government account was launched. 'President Trump's message dominated TikTok during his presidential campaign,' she said in a statement to The Verge, 'and we're excited to build upon those successes and communicate in a way no other administration has before.'
