OpenAI announced a new $100‑per‑month Pro subscription aimed at developers who use its Codex coding tool.

The move addresses growing demand for AI‑assisted coding, which has surged more than 70% month‑over‑month, and provides a middle‑ground option between the low‑cost Plus plan and the premium $200 offering.
