Not only did OpenAI announce ChatGPT Plus, with plans starting at $20 per month, but less than one week later, Microsoft put Google on notice.

Almost 600 IDB loan operations are in execution annually in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the lessons learned from some of these development projects are not always widely known.
