OpenAI is currently hosting a live event series called '12 Days of OpenAI,' which streams daily at 10 AM PT and will continue until December 23, 2024.

During this event, several major announcements have been made, including the launch of ChatGPT Pro, a subscription plan priced at $200 per month.

Additionally, the integration of ChatGPT with Apple's iOS 18.2, now branded as Apple Intelligence, has been introduced to enhance user experience on Apple devices.

A significant advancement highlighted at the event is ChatGPT's new real-time video capabilities, marking a notable improvement since its initial demo seven months ago.

OpenAI has also released its reasoning o1 model, aimed at enhancing the chatbot's performance and capabilities.

Another exciting feature being rolled out to all users is Canvas, which adds new functionalities to the platform.

The highly anticipated public release of Sora, a text-to-video generator, was also discussed, although it may not be available in the EU at launch.

For those interested in following the event, it can be watched live on OpenAI's YouTube channel, with ongoing coverage provided by TechCrunch's live blog.
