OpenAI has announced a new monthly ChatGPT Pro subscription for $200 (€189 or £157). The company says that the subscription is a way for "researchers, engineers, and other individuals who use research-grade intelligence daily to accelerate their productivity and be at the cutting edge of advancements in AI."
The Pro plan will provide access to a more intelligent variant of the o1 model that uses more compute to "think for longer" and provides more accurate responses to questions specifically related to "data science, programming and case law analysis."
OpenAI's benchmarks show that the o1 pro model performs better than the o1 and o1 preview in math, science, and coding. Pro users can select o1 pro in the model picker tool in the chatbot.
Answers will take longer to generate with o1 pro, so OpenAI has added a progress bar and will send you an in-app notification when they are ready. You can freely switch between conversations as you wait.
OpenAI also announced a grants program for medical researchers in the US. Initially, the grants are limited to ten individuals in the US, but this will be expanded upon once the Pro plan becomes available in other regions.
