first_img OpenAI grants free API credits to ChatGPT Pro and Business

OpenAI documentation shows that eligible ChatGPT Pro and Business subscriptions can receive free API credits for building applications and agents within their own API organization. The credits are automatically issued based on the subscription, and any unused portion expires at the end of the billing cycle without carrying over; when there are valid free credits, there is no need to bind an API payment method. In terms of monthly credits, Pro's tiers of $100, $200, and $500 correspond to $100, $200, and $500 respectively; Business Standard provides $20 per paid seat, and Business Premium provides $100 per paid seat.The initial issuance is calculated proportionally based on the remaining time in the current subscription billing cycle and expires at the end of that cycle. Business API credits are shared within the workspace, with a monthly cap of $500; annual payment workspaces receive a one-time issuance of the annual credits, which expire at the end of the annual billing cycle. Users must log in to ChatGPT with an eligible subscription account, with Pro credits claimed in Settings under Billing, and Business credits claimed in the workspace billing settings or Admin Console, confirming the API organization receiving the credits.The credits cover the paid usage of associated organizations on the API Platform, including Responses API, Agents API, Decisions API, GPT-Live and Realtime API, Images API, as well as built-in tools and related costs such as web search, document search, and Code Interpreter. Using Codex via API key is not included in the benefits, and the credits will not increase the usage limits for ChatGPT or Codex that is already logged in. Free credits are prioritized over purchased credits; when exhausted and no remaining credits are available, requests will fail with HTTP 429 and error code credit_balance_exhausted.

Duan Yongping's estimated unrealized loss on his holdings in Pop Mart is approximately HKD 1.87 billion to HKD 2.12 billion

According to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's equity disclosure, Duan Yongping holds 106,716,000 shares of Pop Mart (09992.HK) through his investment entities, accounting for 8.01% of the issued shares. Based on the stock price of HKD 132.50 on October 27, the market value of the holdings is approximately HKD 14.14 billion.In terms of cost, Jiemian News quoted market estimates on October 26, indicating that the average comprehensive holding cost is around HKD 150 per share; Lan Jing News previously estimated the comprehensive cost to be about HKD 152.32 per share. The corresponding paper losses are approximately HKD 1.868 billion and HKD 2.115 billion, with loss ratios of about 11.67% and 13.01%. The relevant purchase records are: 9.8232 million shares bought on May 25 at an average price of HKD 150; 4.66 million shares bought on May 28 at an average price of HKD 162.5; 10.59 million shares bought on July 6, calculated at approximately HKD 150; and an additional 1 million shares on September 1 at an average price of HKD 155. The first three transactions total approximately 25.07 million shares, with an investment of about HKD 3.816 billion, and a weighted average price of approximately HKD 152.4.The above is based on media estimates of costs and is not the actual investment gains and losses disclosed by Duan Yongping; part of the underlying position comes from options trading, and the complete holding cost cannot be independently verified solely based on public information. Pop Mart's announcement shows that overall revenue for the third quarter of 2026 (unaudited) is expected to decline by 45% to 50% compared to the third quarter of 2025; a decline of 25% to 30% in China, 65% to 70% in the Asia-Pacific region, 70% to 75% in the Americas, and 50% to 55% in Europe and other regions; offline channels in China are expected to decline by 5% to 10%, while online channels are expected to decline by 45% to 50%.

first_img Grok 4.7 recommends the Republican Party 90% of the time, while GPT-6.1 nearly fully supports the Democratic Party

TechCrunch reported that the conversational AI research and design studio Convovo, led by Cornell University professor Tapan Parikh, released a study stating that when asked to recommend only one candidate for the upcoming U.S. midterm elections, SpaceXAI's Grok 4.7 chose Republican candidates 92% of the time, while OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol chose Democratic candidates 97% of the time. The study covered nearly 500 campaigns, with the two models agreeing on recommendations less than 10% of the time.Researchers posed the same question to both models via API, asking for a specific candidate without allowing for avoidance or a tie. The report noted that consumer applications refused to answer. An OpenAI spokesperson stated that ChatGPT is designed to be objective by default, and political conversations should not carry any directional bias; the study tested the developer API, and the prompt explicitly requested a candidate recommendation, which cannot represent the user experience when asking questions through the chat application. SpaceXAI did not respond to requests for comment in time.The report indicated that Grok's responses often cited conservative sources as well as Ballotpedia, OpenSecrets, and VoteSmart, with 39% including Christian conservative voter guides, 23% including Turning Point Action, and 41% including X; GPT's results heavily relied on Wikipedia, the Associated Press, Axios, and Reddit. The study also mentioned that each time Grok was called via the xAI API, it included approximately 1,240 additional input tokens that the researchers did not write, could not view, or remove. Parikh subsequently disabled online search and sampled 30 campaigns, with GPT choosing Democrats in 24 cases, while Grok refused to choose in 27 cases.

first_img a16z Weekly Report: Listed GPU rental prices are higher than at the beginning of the year, Netflix's growth rate is about 12%

The venture capital firm a16z released a chart weekly report written by Moses Sternstein on October 23, 2026. The report states that Netflix is still growing, with revenue growth slowing to just below about 12%, the lowest level since 2021 to 2022. The company is producing its own short videos and entering live sports. The report cites BCG data indicating that the upper limit of media consumption in the U.S. is about 26 hours per week, showing a moderate decline since the peak of lockdowns. Moses Sternstein: Competition comes not only from other streaming services but also from short videos, with much of the recent media growth coming from background consumption while driving or working.In terms of computing power, the report cites Ornn Data stating that the rental price of every GPU in the chart series is higher than at the beginning of the year, including the oldest A100, which is about 9% to 143% higher compared to a 6-year straight-line depreciation. Moses Sternstein: Over a longer period, older A100 and H100 GPUs spend more time below that line, but have only shown significant strength since April this year, making comparisons over a longer period not entirely fair. According to OpenRouter, token demand surged sharply in spring, jumped again after a brief plateau at the end of summer, with token consumption for both open-source and closed-source models still following an exponential path, and the share of proprietary models slightly increased last week. The author states that OpenRouter only covers a very small portion, and these indices are not perfect proxies for actual token spending and GPU pricing.In manufacturing, the report states that computer production capacity and utilization rates are rising, with production increases being larger. The increase in communication and semiconductor production mainly comes from expansion, while the price increase for electrical equipment is the largest, but domestic production has slightly declined. The import increase of key categories of AI capital expenditures mentioned above far exceeds the domestic production increase in dollar terms. According to ADP, the increase in average weekly hours for industries related to AI construction is greater than that of other industries, and is generally greater than the net increase in personnel. Job switchers in manufacturing have about a 5 percentage point wage growth premium compared to stayers. Cybersecurity stocks remain strong in IGV this year, but have seen a larger pullback than the market since October. The revenue growth rate of large companies has mostly only increased by a few percentage points, with some experiencing declines, and stock price performance reaching up to about 125%, with Palo Alto Networks' revenue growth largely driven by acquisitions.

first_img The Swedish Government Office will ban ChatGPT and Claude, retaining only Microsoft Copilot

According to Sveriges Radio, the Swedish government office announced that starting from October 26 (Monday), ChatGPT and Claude will be banned on employee computers, with Microsoft Copilot approved as the only AI tool that has passed security review, and civil servants are required to switch to using Copilot.Mikael Wettercrantz, the agency's Director of Digitalization, stated in a post on the employee intranet that using AI services without a formal contract could "have consequences for our information security." He noted that multiple cases of improper use of open AI services have been identified, involving the sensitivity of the information inputted and the handling of AI-generated content. Due to the lack of formal agreements, consumer-grade AI tools send user queries to external company servers, and U.S. law allows authorities to request these companies to hand over data as required.Copilot is allowed to remain because the government office enhanced its security settings after review, while ChatGPT and Claude did not receive the same treatment. Some employees can still access these two banned tools through the AI platform built internally by the agency. Previously, the Swedish Tax Agency and the National Board of Health and Welfare had implemented similar bans, and the enforcement agency is also about to make a decision; an internal audit by the Transport Agency found about 10 AI services being "widely and at high risk" used.
