  "account": "OpenAI announced its priciest AI plan yet, revealing that its new \"Dots\" agents will initially be available through its premium plans. The company's CFO, Sarah Friar, stated that the goal is to eventually bring these agents to OpenAI's 1.2 billion consumer users. The Pro 500 plan, priced at $500 per month or $6,000 a year, offers a higher usage allowance and \"Ultrafast\" computing for GPT-6 Astra in ChatGPT Work and Codex. OpenAI also reintroduced the $200-a-month Pro plan with a reduced compute allowance, noting that consumers are increasingly willing to spend more on AI subscriptions. CEO Sam Altman emphasized that Dots is currently a premium product, but the company expects to expand its availability to billions of people in the future.",
