OpenAI is charging $200/month for a ChatGPT Pro plan
OpenAI has introduced a new, pricier subscription plan for ChatGPT, called "ChatGPT Pro." Priced at $200/month, this plan includes all the perks of ChatGPT Plus, along with some additional goodies. The company is also bringing the full version of its o1 model, which was released as a limited preview (o1-preview) in September. The latest tier provides unlimited access to the full version of o1 "reasoning" model, o1-mini, GPT-4o, and Advanced Voice mode.
ChatGPT Pro offers access to 'o1 pro mode'
ChatGPT Pro also comes with an exclusive version of o1 (o1 pro mode) which "uses more compute for the best answers to the hardest questions," according to the page. Users upgrading from ChatGPT Plus to Pro will receive a prorated credit for their remaining subscription period. However, the current Plus tier will remain at $20/month providing early access to new features and all the company's models except the more powerful o1 pro mode.
Pro plan is 10x expensive than Plus
o1 model promises faster, more accurate responses
Compared to the o1-preview, the o1 model is touted as faster, more powerful, and more accurate. It excels in coding and math tasks and can provide "reasoning" responses to images. The new model has been trained for conciseness, promising quicker response times than the previous version. Future enhancements for ChatGPT Pro are also planned by OpenAI that will include "powerful, compute-intensive productivity features."
