While we still have several weeks to go before OpenAI’s ’12 days of shipmas’ event kicks off, a feature-gated web page on the company’s website may have revealed some exciting details about its upcoming plans.
ChatGPT Pro: A Premium Upgrade for ChatGPT Users
According to software engineer Tibor Blaho, who uncovered the leaked page on X (formerly Twitter), ChatGPT Pro is an upgraded version of OpenAI’s AI-powered chatbot platform, ChatGPT. This new plan includes all the benefits of ChatGPT Plus, as well as some additional features and functionality.
New Features in ChatGPT Pro
The leaked page suggests that ChatGPT Pro provides unlimited access to all of OpenAI’s models, including:
- O1 (o1 reasoning) model: This is a full version of the o1 reasoning model, which is designed to effectively fact-check itself and avoid some common pitfalls that trip up other AI models.
- O1-Mini model: This is a distilled release of the o1 reasoning model, optimized for faster performance while maintaining accuracy.
- GPT-4o model: This is an advanced version of the GPT-4 model, which is known for its ability to generate human-like text.
Benefits of O1 and O1-Mini Models
The o1 and o1-mini models are designed to reason through tasks, planning ahead and performing certain actions that help tease out answers. This approach can lead to more accurate and reliable results, but it may also take longer for the model to arrive at a solution.
Advanced Voice Mode and O1 Pro Mode
In addition to access to OpenAI’s advanced models, ChatGPT Pro also includes unlimited access to Advanced Voice Mode, which allows users to interact with ChatGPT in a more natural and conversational way. The plan also features a new "O1 pro mode," which uses more compute power to provide the best possible answers to the hardest questions.
ChatGPT Pro Pricing
The leaked page suggests that ChatGPT Pro will start at $200 per month or £200/€229, depending on the region. This would make it OpenAI’s most expensive subscription plan yet, 10x the cost of ChatGPT Plus.
OpenAI’s Plans for Future Model Releases
A separate leaked web page discovered by Blaho contains another surprise: mention of what could be OpenAI’s next major model. According to the page, subscribers to OpenAI’s ChatGPT Team plan will soon get access to a "limited preview" of GPT-4.5.
What Does This Mean for ChatGPT Users?
The announcement of ChatGPT Pro and its features may be exciting news for users who are looking for more advanced AI capabilities and functionality. However, the pricing of this new plan may be a barrier to entry for some users, especially those who are already paying for ChatGPT Plus.
OpenAI’s Response
We reached out to OpenAI for comment on these leaked details, but the company has not yet responded.
Conclusion
While we still have several weeks to go before OpenAI’s ’12 days of shipmas’ event kicks off, these leaked details suggest that the company is working on some exciting new features and functionality for its ChatGPT platform. We’ll be keeping a close eye on developments in the coming weeks and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
