OpenAI Launches New Subscription

New Tier and Features for ChatGPT

OpenAI is releasing a new, more expensive tier for its flagship chatbot ChatGPT, called ChatGPT Pro, which includes unlimited access to OpenAI o1, GPT-4o, and Advanced Voice mode. The company is also bringing its “reasoning” model series out of preview with an update.

ChatGPT Pro

ChatGPT Pro is a new $200 monthly subscription tier that includes unlimited access to OpenAI o1, GPT-4o, and Advanced Voice mode. It also includes a version of o1, exclusive to Pro users, that uses more compute to provide the best possible answer to the hardest problems (called o1 pro mode). The company will continue to offer a Plus tier for $20 a month that includes early access to new features, access to all the company’s models (except the more powerful o1 version), and more.

Reasoning Model Series

The company is releasing the full version of its o1 model (replacing o1-preview), which was initially released as a limited preview in September (code-named ‘Strawberry’). The new model will be available for ChatGPT Plus and Team users today, while Enterprise and Edu users will have access to it starting next week.

Performance Improvements

OpenAI compares the performance of o1 preview, o1, and o1 pro mode. OpenAI

The company said that compared to o1-preview, users can expect a faster, more powerful, and more accurate model that is better at coding and math. It can also provide “reasoning” responses to images. And OpenAI promises it’s been trained to be more concise, which should result in faster response times than o1-preview.

Future Updates

OpenAI plans to add support for web browsing, file uploads, and more in ChatGPT — though there’s no timeline for these changes.

Grant Program

It also announced a ChatGPT Pro Grant Program that awards 10 grants of ChatGPT Pro to medical researchers at leading institutions, with plans for additional grants across various disciplines.

Conclusion

OpenAI is continuing to improve and expand its chatbot capabilities, with new features and tiers available for users. The company’s focus on providing more powerful and accurate models will likely benefit users across various industries and applications.
