How to cancel your ChatGPT subscription (and why you might want to)
A paid plan makes the most sense when you regularly run into the Free tier's limits or rely on tools reserved for higher tiers. If that's no longer true, paying every month gets harder to justify. One option is ChatGPT Go, a lower-cost paid tier that OpenAI now offers in every country where ChatGPT is supported. Spending less doesn't necessarily require giving up a paid plan altogether. AI subscriptions have another unusual wrinkle: the product can change while you are paying for it.

The Download: kids outlearning AI, and space travel agents
Plus: A new Amazon data center could become the US's most polluting power plant. Plus: both parties are turning against AI data centers ahead of the midterms. Teaching a computer to use human language requires an inhuman amount of data. An LLM can easily churn through a hundred thousand times more words than a person will experience in the process of mastering their mother tongue. This yawning divide between children and machines is called the data efficiency gap. It raises a tantalizing question for cognitive scientists and a challenge for the architects of AI models: how can children still outperform the most linguistically sophisticated machines ever built?

ChatGPT Work can browse, manage files, and complete tasks. Free users can try it, but paid plans offer more capacity. That's because ChatGPT Work is agentic, which is a fancy way of describing how some AIs can go off and accomplish a series of tasks. Because ChatGPT has become more capable, the differences between ChatGPT and ChatGPT Work can be subtle.

Kids outlearn AI--and we still don't know why
LLMs need vastly more data than children to learn language. Understanding why could help us create more efficient models--and reveal more about developing minds. People have been talking to each other for at least 100,000 years, as best we can tell. And in all that time, there has been only one thing in the world that could learn a human language to perfect fluency: a human child. Four short years after the release of ChatGPT, many of us now take it for granted that we can converse naturally with our phones or computers. LLMs like Claude, DeepSeek, and OpenAI's GPT models are fluent and flexible enough to masquerade convincingly as humans. But peek behind the computational curtain, and there's a catch: Teaching a computer to use human language still requires an inhuman amount of data. An LLM can easily churn through a hundred thousand times more words than a person will experience in the process of mastering their mother tongue--and way more than children might hear by their first birthday, when they typically start to grab hold of language. "The progress recently has been amazing," Michael C. Frank, a cognitive scientist at Stanford University, says of LLMs. "But we still have to burn down a forest and scrape the entire sum of all human knowledge to re-create this milestone that happens in our living rooms over the course of a year."
