- OpenAI announced on Thursday something that power users have been asking for forever: a $100/month plan.
- The model maker says Plus (which remains at $20/month) and the new $100 Pro tier are geared to support daily usage of ChatGPT’s coding tool Codex.
- The main difference is the rate limits, the company says.
Key claims in source B
- the Pro tier will continue to include access to all existing Pro features, including its exclusive Pro model and unlimited usage of Instant and Thinking models.
- The move comes amid reports that OpenAI has initiated a “code red” internal strategy to counter Anthropic’s growing dominance in AI coding tools.
- As part of a limited-time promotion running until 31 May, new subscribers to the $100 plan will receive up to ten times the Codex usage of ChatGPT Plus to support more ambitious development projects.
- The $20 Plus plan will remain the main offering for everyday use, while the new $100 tier targets heavier, more consistent workloads.
