OpenAI launches $500 Pro tier, cuts limits on $200 plan

OpenAI has introduced a new $500 per month Pro subscription tier, offering enhanced features like an "Ultrafast" speed tier for its models, which can generate up to 300 tokens per second. This new tier also includes access to OpenAI's new personal AI agents called "Dots." Concurrently, the company is reducing the usage limits for its existing $200 Pro plan, decreasing message caps for ChatGPT and usage allowances for its Codex and Work apps. OpenAI also announced GPT-6.1 Sol, a new model that offers performance comparable to GPT-6.0 Astra at a lower cost and with improved safety features. AI

IMPACT This move by OpenAI may pressure competitors to adjust their own pricing and feature offerings, potentially impacting the cost and accessibility of advanced AI models for businesses and developers.
