OpenAI frequently expresses its goal of making ChatGPT and its various AI technologies accessible to as many users as possible for free. However, the company is also expanding into paid offerings, with the latest subscription featuring a steep $200/month fee.
ChatGPT Pro provides ‘unlimited’ access to advanced models
OpenAI is gearing up for a series of announcements throughout the next 12 days. Some will be significant, while others are considered ‘stocking stuffers,’ according to CEO Sam Altman.
Before the first announcement, users have identified mentions on OpenAI’s website of a new, ultra-premium ChatGPT Pro subscription (as reported by TechCrunch).
The catch? It comes with a price tag of $200 per month.
As highlighted in the feature list, ChatGPT Pro is anticipated to provide unlimited access to models such as o1 and GPT-4o, in addition to unlimited advanced voice mode and a new o1 mode.
This subscription is significantly pricier than the current ChatGPT Plus plan, which costs $20/month.
Supporting this information, another user has found a mention of ‘o1 pro mode’ while using ChatGPT. It remains unclear if the o1 pro mode will be available exclusively to ChatGPT Pro subscribers, but it seems plausible.
According to the leaked image, o1 pro mode ‘utilizes more computation for superior answers to complex questions.’
DMN’s Perspective
A $200/month subscription is a significant commitment for users, so it’s hard to predict a vast market for it. However, if you depend on ChatGPT for income generation, it may be worth the additional expense for unlimited access and the new ‘o1 pro’ mode.
