a subscription for $200 per month

Already find ChatGPT Plus a little expensive? Hang in there, OpenAI has just confirmed the arrival of ChatGPT Pro, a subscription at… $200 per month. Yes, you read that correctly. What justifies such a price? A dose of super-reasoning thanks to the o1 model, in particular.

A subscription for more power

Designed for power usersChatGPT Pro targets those who want to push AI to its limits: developers, researchers or mathematics experts. Jason Wei, a member of the OpenAI technical team, explained to TechCrunch that this new plan is aimed at those who expect maximum performance on complex tasks.

The o1 model, launched last September, is capable of reason independently, allowing them to plan their responses and check their own conclusions. Of course, it takes more time, but OpenAI promises more reliable and precise answers, especially on advanced topics like coding, science or legal analysis.

Small detail: responses will sometimes take longer to arrive. To avoid impatience, a notification system is provided to notify you as soon as the response is ready.

$200 a month is a lot

At this price, OpenAI knows that this will scare more than one person, especially among general public users currently subscribed to the formula. Plus. However, to try to pass the pill, OpenAI plans to offer free subscriptions to certain researchers from prestigious institutions.

Why such a marked move upmarket today? OpenAI remains plagued by significant financial losses. With losses estimated at $5 billion this year, the company must find ways to replenish its coffers. Training its models costs a fortune, and as long as advertising is not present on the service, the company relies on subscriptions to generate revenue. Despite everything, ChatGPT remains the most profitable service for OpenAI, with 300 million users each week.
