Hot Take:

OpenAI has decided to play Santa early this year, gifting college students with a free pass to ChatGPT Plus, just in time for those all-nighters and caffeine-fueled cram sessions. Forget about saving for a subscription; just show them your student ID and you’re in! Looks like even AI knows the struggle of finals week. But don’t get too comfy, because this academic fairy tale ends when May does. Enjoy the ride while it lasts, scholars!

Key Points:

  • ChatGPT Plus is now free for students in the US and Canada until the end of May.
  • The subscription typically costs $20 per month and includes access to premium AI models.
  • OpenAI will use SheerID to verify student status before granting access.
  • The offer is a part of OpenAI’s experimental program and may expand globally in the future.
  • This move comes in response to a similar educational initiative by rival company Anthropic.
