Key claims and evidence
Key claims in source A
- OpenAI says the tool now has more than 3 million weekly users, with usage increasing rapidly in recent months.
- OpenAI has introduced a new $100 per month ChatGPT Pro plan designed for users who rely heavily on Codex, its AI coding agent built into ChatGPT.
- The new tier sits between the existing $20 Plus plan and the $200 Pro plan, giving developers a more practical upgrade path without jumping straight to the highest pricing tier.
- The new $100 Pro plan is positioned for developers working on larger or more complex coding tasks who need more consistent access and higher limits than what Plus offers.
Key claims in source B
- It comes as Claude Code’s run-rate revenue surpassed $2.5 billion in February 2026, according to CNBC, more than doubling since the start of the year.
- Codex has grown to three million weekly users, a fivefold increase in three months, with usage growing more than 70% month over month, according to CEO Sam Altman.
- a single $200-per-month Claude Code subscription generates roughly $5,000 in actual compute costs, illustrating how opaque the economics of AI coding tools remain.
- Claude Code hit $1 billion in annualized recurring revenue in November 2025, according to the same report, then more than doubled in roughly three months.
