Beating AI News Brief: OpenAI is offering free ChatGPT Plus to students once again. Eligible U.S. undergraduate and graduate students, whether full-time or part-time, can receive 4 months of complimentary ChatGPT Plus, valued at $80. The promotion runs through October 31. Existing ChatGPT Plus subscribers who signed up directly for the service can also add the free period to their accounts. This year’s offer is twice as generous as last year’s. In 2025, OpenAI provided 2 months of Plus access to college students in the U.S. and Canada; this year, the duration has doubled to 4 months. Critically, the official terms explicitly note that students who participated in last year’s student discount can claim the offer again this year, provided they still meet eligibility requirements. However, this year’s promotion has a narrower scope, currently covering only eligible U.S. colleges and universities. Verification is conducted via SheerID. A ChatGPT account does not need to be linked to a school email, but possessing an education email alone does not guarantee qualification. SheerID will verify active enrollment status, and some schools may require SSO login or additional documentation. Several Reddit users have reported that student IDs and class schedules failed verification, with some ultimately completing the process by uploading tuition payment receipts.

Bitget launches Phase 2 US stock bottom-fishing interest-earning product FCN (Fixed Coupon Note). This phase features an 80% discount, with underlying assets and reference APR ranges as follows: MicroStrategy (MSTR) 19%–25%, SK Hynix (SKHY) 14%–17%, and SpaceX (SPCX) 13%–16%. Additionally, Bitget’s limited-time cashback promotion is ongoing: users who reach specified cumulative subscription tiers will receive corresponding cashback rewards, with a maximum of 10,000 USDT per user. The promotion runs until September 18; more details are available on Bitget’s official platform. It is understood that Bitget FCN (Fixed Coupon Note) is a structured financial product linked to a single US stock rToken. Users can subscribe with USDT and select their target US stock underlying asset. The product’s entry execution price is determined by multiplying the US stock’s closing price on the product’s subscription end date by the discount rate. At maturity, if the observation price is at or above the execution price, users will receive their USDT principal plus fixed interest. If the observation price is below the execution price, the principal will be converted to the corresponding rToken at the execution price, while users still retain the fixed interest.
