OpenAI is preparing to raise the prices of subscriptions for ChatGPT Plus, reportedly more than doubling them by 2025. Prices could rise as high as $22 per month in coming years and even climb up to $44 by 2029, reports say. Such a shift in the business model’s thinking comes from the company’s desire to pay through scaling advanced AI technologies.
Currently, the ChatGPT Plus plan from OpenAI is available for $20 month-to-month for users; it features faster responses, priority access to new features, and the ability to access the tool even during times of high traffic. But with the continuous raising of resources, research, development, and heavy machinery, OpenAI is under pressure to review its pricing model. As the demand goes up to have more advanced and sophisticated AI models, so does the infrastructure and cost of operating.
Major Changes In Open AI
This has in turn forced the company to make estimates for future price increases due to the growing usage and the immense data required to train large language models such as GPT-4 and beyond.
All these changes raise many questions of affordability, especially for smaller businesses, freelancers, and independent users who rely heavily on ChatGPT for research, writing, coding, and customer service, among other things. But OpenAI seems unconcerned, forging ahead-as it has continuously-to improve offerings. The new pricing will likely heed more advanced AI capabilities, better fine-tuning, and a higher degree of customization promised to make paying users even more productive.
