ChatGPT Pro: OpenAI releases new subscription tier for $200 a month

OpenAI is offering a new subscription that promises to open the “highest level of access.”

OpenAI on Thursday launched a version of its popular chatbot ChatGPT priced at $200 per month. The chatbot can be used in engineering fields and for research as the AI firm looks to expand industry applications for its technology.

The new tier, called ChatGPT Pro, will be in addition to OpenAI's existing subscriptions of ChatGPT Plus, Team and Enterprise. It underscores the firm's ambitions to further commercialize its technology, which kicked off the AI boom.

ChatGPT Pro will allow access to the most advanced OpenAI tools, including unlimited access to its new reasoning models o1, o1 mini, GPT-4o and advanced voice, the company said. The subscription also includes o1 pro mode, a version which uses additional computing power to solve more complex queries.

OpenAI said the o1 pro mode performs better on machine learning benchmarks across math, science and coding compared with the o1 and o1-preview versions.
