Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving, tackling increasingly complex and critical challenges. But this progress demands greater computing power.
To meet these demands, OpenAI today announced the launch of ChatGPT Pro, a premium subscription plan priced at $200 per month.
ChatGPT Pro offers users scaled access to OpenAI’s most advanced models and tools.
Subscribers gain unlimited access to the company’s flagship model, OpenAI o1, along with o1-mini, GPT-4o, and Advanced Voice capabilities.
The plan also features o1 pro mode, a souped-up version of o1 that leverages increased computing power to tackle the most challenging problems with enhanced accuracy and comprehensiveness.
OpenAI plans to further expand this plan with even more powerful, compute-intensive productivity features in the future.
Designed for researchers, engineers, and other professionals who rely on cutting-edge AI, ChatGPT Pro aims to boost productivity and keep users at the forefront of AI advancements.
Enhanced processing power for complex challenges
ChatGPT Pro unlocks a version of OpenAI’s most intelligent model that dedicates more processing time to deliver the most reliable responses.
External expert testers have confirmed that o1 pro mode consistently provides more accurate and comprehensive answers, particularly in specialized fields like data science, programming, and legal analysis.
Benchmark evaluations demonstrate that o1 pro mode outperforms both the standard o1 and o1-preview models on challenging machine learning tasks across math, science, and coding.
To emphasize the enhanced reliability of o1 pro mode, OpenAI has implemented a stricter evaluation standard: a model must answer a question correctly in four out of four attempts to be considered successful.
ChatGPT Pro grants for medical research
In a commitment to fostering advancements that benefit humanity, OpenAI is awarding ten ChatGPT Pro grants to medical researchers at leading U.S. institutions.
These grants will provide researchers with access to the platform’s most advanced AI capabilities, empowering them to accelerate their work in critical areas.
The initial recipients include:
Catherine Brownstein, MPH, PhD: Assistant Professor at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, specializing in identifying new genes associated with rare and orphan diseases.
Justin Reese, PhD: Computer Research Scientist at Berkeley Lab, who analyzes complex biomedical data to uncover insights into human diseases.
Rhoda Au, PhD: Professor of Anatomy & Neurobiology at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, focusing on aging and dementia research.
Derya Unutmaz, MD: Professor at The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine, researching aging and cancer immunotherapy.
OpenAI plans to expand the ChatGPT Pro grant program to other regions and research areas in the future.
OpenAI will continue to enhance ChatGPT Pro with new features and capabilities, enabling users to tackle increasingly complex and compute-intensive tasks.
Many of these advancements will also be made available to subscribers of other ChatGPT plans.
