On the day of its launch, OpenAI announced an expensive new offering: ChatGPT Pro.
The recently launched **ChatGPT Pro** subscription tier is now offered at $200 each month.
On Thursday, OpenAI introduced this elite plan as part of its **”12 Days of OpenAI”** celebration. ChatGPT Pro provides unlimited access to its models, the enhanced **o1** reasoning model (fully launched today), and **Advanced Voice Mode**.
Furthermore, OpenAI rolled out **o1 Pro Mode**, a special feature for ChatGPT Pro users aimed at tackling more intensive tasks, like complex mathematics, programming, and sophisticated writing challenges. According to CEO Sam Altman, ChatGPT Pro is specifically designed for “power users.”
The **o1** model was also fully launched today. Previously, free users could only access the o1 preview, while ChatGPT Plus subscribers utilized a limited version known as o1 mini. Now, both ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Pro subscribers will have complete access to the entire o1 model.
OpenAI asserts that the o1 model is 50% quicker than the preview version and accommodates multimodal input, representing a major advancement for users.
