  "summary": "OpenAI announced on Friday that it is tightening limits on the weapons-related information ChatGPT provides to teenagers, even in instances where a question appears harmless. This move is part of a new set of safeguards.\n\nSeparately, OpenAI is doubling usage limits for its Business Premium plan and ChatGPT Pro plans priced at $100, $200, and $500. According to Android Authority, this decision follows user backlash regarding a previous plan to reduce limits for Pro 200 subscribers. The change, which primarily affects ChatGPT Work and Codex, is scheduled to take effect immediately.",
