Codex 5-Hour Limit Is BACK?! OpenAI Jalapeño + Free AI For Students
OpenAI’s first custom Jalapeño AI chip just got its first major benchmark results, and the early numbers are surprisingly competitive with Nvidia Blackwell for AI inference. OpenAI also brought the 5-hour Codex usage limit back to ChatGPT Plus, while its $100 and $200 Pro plans are staying off that specific restriction for the upcoming months. Cursor also quietly ended the promotion that included Cursor Ultra with SuperGrok Heavy for new users. Existing users who already claimed Ultra are expected to keep it, but new SuperGrok links now provide Grok Bot usage rather than a Cursor Ultra subscription. And students have two huge offers available right now: OpenAI: Eligible U.S. college students can get 4 months of ChatGPT Plus FREE. Google: Eligible U.S. college students can get 1 year of Google AI Pro FREE. In this video, I break down what actually changed, what’s confirmed, the catches you need to know about, and my opinion on each update. 🔗 Sources & Links OpenAI — Jalapeño First Benchmark Results https://openai.com/index/jalapeno-first-results/ SemiAnalysis — OpenAI Jalapeño vs Nvidia Blackwell https://inferencex.semianalysis.com/blog/openai-jalapeno-better-than-nvidia Thibault Sottiaux — Original Codex Limit Update on X https://x.com/thsottiaux/status/2092058556707344708 Reddit — Cursor Ultra No Longer Included With SuperGrok Heavy https://www.reddit.com/r/cursor/comments/1vv98vu/cursor_ultra_will_no_longer_be_included_with/ Cursor Forum — Staff Confirmation That Ultra Promotion Ended https://forum.cursor.com/t/is-supergrok-heavy-now-the-better-cursor-ultra-deal/168558/32 4 Months FREE ChatGPT Plus for Students https://chatgpt.com/students/2026/ Eligible full-time and part-time students at eligible U.S. degree-granting institutions can claim four months of ChatGPT Plus free by October 31, 2026.
