OpenAI has launched its premium subscription service, ChatGPT Pro, priced at $200 monthly. This new tier offers unlimited access to the GPT-4o and o1 artificial intelligence models, as well as exclusive features like Advanced Voice Mode. The subscription is targeted at power users who require more computing power for complex tasks.
According to CEO Sam Altman, ChatGPT Pro is designed for users who “really use” ChatGPT extensively, such as researchers and hyper-engaged individuals. However, no changes were made to the pricing of other subscription plans, including the free option, which remains available at $20 monthly.
OpenAI’s o1 model, a focus on reasoning capabilities and multi-step processing, has been fully released and is now answering questions more quickly with fewer errors. The company also plans to add web browsing and file upload features in the future.
While users will enjoy unlimited access to these models, they must be aware that OpenAI’s terms of use still apply, including restrictions on sharing accounts or using the service for unauthorized purposes. A full refund is available within two weeks of purchase if users are dissatisfied with the service.
