UAE’s Bold Move: Free ChatGPT Plus for Everyone - Why It Matters Right Now
Introduction Today the United Arab Emirates made a striking announcement: every citizen and resident will get free access to ChatGPT Plus, OpenAI’s premium AI chatbot. This isn’t a trial or a limited offer - it’s a full rollout, part of the UAE’s ambitious Stargate project aimed at building the world’s largest AI supercomputing cluster. It’s a bold step in a fast-moving AI race, and it’s already shaking up conversations about how AI should be accessible globally.
800 Million Weekly Users?! ChatGPT Just Redefined “Explosive Growth”
Just a couple of months ago, I reported that ChatGPT had crossed 100 million new weekly users between December and February. That was already staggering — more than the entire population of the UK jumping online with AI in a matter of weeks.
But while I was off-grid on a family adventure along the West Coast of America (which I highly recommend, by the way), ChatGPT pulled off something even wilder.
GPT-4o mini is now here to replace GPT-3.5 Turbo for developers. It’s cheaper, faster, and multi-modal giving people that use OpenAI’s APIs much better and most cost effective options.
OpenAI has announced a Non-Profit incentive for ChatGPT Team and Enterprise editions! Discounts include an annual Team subscription at $20/month (down from $25) and up to 50% off for Enterprise based on size and usage.

ChatGPT will be able to store personalised things about you in your own separate database, using this so you don't have to keep prompting it important things about you and what you do, so it can provide better personalised responses.
Team for ChatGPT allows you to have a shared subscription for your staff, share ChatGPTs with each other and whatever you do in ChatGPT will not train the machine minimising the risk of data leaks

Paid ChatGPT users can now bring third-party apps powered by OpenAI's AI models into a conversation by typing '@' and selecting a GPT from the list. The selected GPT will have a full understanding of the conversation. Different GPTs can be tagged for different use cases and needs. OpenAI plans to eventually introduce monetization for GPTs, but the company may have to get traffic up first. Moderation of GPTs is proving to be a challenge to OpenAI.
