ChatGPT o3-pro is only available on $200+ plans – here's what you're missing
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. OpenAI just released a new ChatGPT model that's better and more reliable than its best reasoning models to date. ChatGPT o3-pro joins the list of AI chatbot options in the app, replacing the o1-pro model. As exciting as the new model is, however, most ChatGPT users don't have access to it… even if they pay for the Plus plan. If you're on ChatGPT Free or ChatGPT Plus ($20/month), you won't get access to OpenAI's new reasoning AI. ChatGPT o3-pro is coming to the $200/month ChatGPT Plus tier. ChatGPT Team users also have access to o3-pro, and Enterprise and Edu users will get the upgrade soon. Today's Top Deals Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Memorial Day security camera deals: Reolink's unbeatable sale has prices from $29.98 There's some good news for ChatGPT Plus users, too. OpenAI has significantly reduced the costs for o3. As someone who chats with ChatGPT o3 almost exclusively, I definitely appreciate the improved efficiencies. It's not like I worried too often about running out of ChatGPT o3 chats, but it did happen. It's good to see OpenAI bring down costs for its frontier models. That means Plus users are getting better rate limits than before. OpenAI explained in its release notes that 'like o1-pro, o3-pro is a version of our most intelligent model, o3, designed to think longer and provide the most reliable responses.' o3-pro will excel in the same areas as o1-pro, including math, science, and coding. Like o3, o3-pro has access to various tools available in ChatGPT, including online search, file support, reasoning with visual prompts, coding (Python), and memory. It's not quite on par with o3, though. ChatGPT o3-pro doesn't have temporary chats for now, and it can't use the 4o image generation tool or the Canvas feature. What really matters here are the performance improvements, and o3-pro excels in all benchmarks OpenAI conducted. That's not surprising for a new frontier model. OpenAI wouldn't add the 'pro' suffix without ensuring o3-pro outperforms o3. The company also says that o3-pro is routinely favored by reviewers: In expert evaluations, reviewers consistently prefer o3-pro over o3 in every tested category and especially in key domains like science, education, programming, business, and writing help. Reviewers also rated o3-pro consistently higher for clarity, comprehensiveness, instruction-following, and accuracy. OpenAI's tests show an average win rate of 64% in favor of o3-pro when compared to o3. As I said before, I'm a ChatGPT Plus user who's quite happy with what I get for that monthly $20 fee. I can't justify going Pro, just as I can't downgrade to ChatGPT Free. I've been using o3 more and more lately, even if I have to fight with the AI sometimes. Naturally, I wondered whether I really needed the slightly better o3-pro performance and the reduced hallucination rate (aka improved accuracy). I don't think I'll miss much for now, and this o3-pro review that Sam Altman retweeted does a great job explaining where o3-pro shines and why ChatGPT Plus users might not need it. Here's a longer snippet that includes the detail Altman cited: The weekly limit for ChatGPT o3 chats sits at 100 messages for ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Enterprise users. Developers will appreciate the price drop the most. ChatGPT o3 input/output is priced at $2/$8 per 1 million tokens, down from $10/$40. But then I took a different approach. My co-founder Alexis and I took the time to assemble a history of all our past planning meetings at Raindrop, all our goals, even recorded voice memos, and then asked o3-pro to come up with a plan. We were blown away. It spit out the exact kind of concrete plan and analysis I've always wanted an LLM to create, complete with target metrics, timelines, priorities, and strict instructions on what to cut. The plan o3 gave us was plausible, reasonable. But the plan o3-pro gave us was specific and grounded enough that it actually changed how we're thinking about our future. This is hard to capture in an eval. That sounds amazing, but it's also something I don't need right now. I recommend reading the entire review to see the differences between o3 and o3-pro and decide for yourself. While I won't get o3-pro anytime soon, I'm glad to hear that operating costs for ChatGPT o3 queries have dropped significantly. Altman said on X that OpenAI has reduced the price of o3 by 80%. OpenAI's Kevin Weil tweeted that the company has doubled the rate limits for o3 in the Plus tier. That might not match the 80% drop in costs, but it's still a big improvement. The weekly limit for ChatGPT o3 chats remains at 100 messages for ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Enterprise users. Developers will appreciate the price drop the most. ChatGPT o3 input/output is now priced at $2/$8 per 1 million tokens, down from $10/$40. More Top Deals Amazon gift card deals, offers & coupons 2025: Get $2,000+ free See the

OpenAI tops 3 million paying business users, launches new features for workplace
OpenAI on Wednesday announced that it now has 3 million paying business users, up from the 2 million it reported in February. The San Francisco-based startup rocketed into the mainstream in late 2022 with its consumer-facing artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, and began launching workplace-specific versions of the product the following year. The 3 million users include ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Team and ChatGPT Edu customers, OpenAI said. 'There's this really tight interconnect between the growth of ChatGPT as a consumer tool and its adoption in the enterprise and in businesses,' OpenAI's chief operating officer Brad Lightcap told CNBC in an interview. The company supported 400 million weekly active users as of February. OpenAI expects revenue of $12.7 billion this year, a source confirmed to CNBC. In September of last year, the company expected to see an annual loss of $5 billion on $3.7 billion in revenue, according to a person close to the company who asked not to be named because the financials are confidential. Lightcap said OpenAI is seeing its business tools adopted across industries, including highly regulated sectors like financial services and health care. Companies including Lowe's, Morgan Stanley and Uber are users, OpenAI said. The company also announced new updates to its business offerings on Wednesday. ChatGPT Team and ChatGPT Enterprise users can now access 'connectors,' which will allow workers to pull data from third-party tools like Google Drive, Dropbox, SharePoint, Box and OneDrive without leaving ChatGPT. Additional deep research connectors are available in beta. OpenAI launched another capability called 'record mode' in ChatGPT, which allows users to record and transcribe their meetings. It's initially available with audio only. Record mode can assist with follow up after a meeting and integrates with internal information like documents and files, the company said. Users can also turn their recordings into documents through the company's Canvas tool. Lightcap said enterprise customers have been asking for updates like these, and that they will help make OpenAI's workplace offerings more useful. 'It's got to be able to do tasks for you, and to do that, it's got to really have knowledge of everything going on around you and your work,' Lightcap said. 'It can't be the intern locked in a closet. It's got to be able to see what you see.' OpenAI said it has been signing up nine enterprises a week, and Lightcap said the company will try to sustain that pace over time. 'People are starting to really figure out that this is a part of the modern tool stack in the knowledge economy that we live in,' he said.

More ways to pay? ChatGPT may be exploring weekly and lifetime subscriptions (APK teardown)
Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR Code suggests ChatGPT might be testing weekly and lifetime subscriptions. This could offer more flexible payment options for users, especially those looking for an annual discount or a lower starting price. Annual billing for ChatGPT Plus may also be on the horizon. ChatGPT has become a staple part of several people's routines, to the point that many of us happily pay for the ChatGPT Plus monthly subscription. However, at $20 per month for the digital AI assistant, there is no denying that it is fairly steep, even though it brings a lot of value. There's room for OpenAI to explore more subscription tiers, either with annual billing options that could save users money in the long term or weekly duration options that lower the barrier of entry. OpenAI seems to be doing all that, and then some, as there are clues the company is working on Weekly and Lifetime subscriptions. Authority Insights story on Android Authority. Discover You're reading anstory on Android Authority. Discover Authority Insights for more exclusive reports, app teardowns, leaks, and in-depth tech coverage you won't find anywhere else. An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. X user M1 spotted code in the 'latest ChatGPT build' that suggests the digital AI assistant is exploring more subscription durations, namely Weekly and Lifetime subscriptions, in addition to the usual Monthly and Annual subscriptions. One of the strings mentions 'Upgrade to Plus,' indicating that these durations could be for ChatGPT Plus. ChatGPT Plus is currently offered in a singular $20 per month subscription, billed monthly. If you need annual billing options, you must jump up to ChatGPT Team or Enterprise offerings. Even the $200 per month ChatGPT Pro is offered only as a monthly billing option. Independently, we can confirm that the following strings exist within ChatGPT v1.2025.126: Code Copy Text %1$s annually %1$s billed annually Annual Lifetime Monthly Weekly %1$s / month Choose your plan Note that strings for monthly and annual prices are mentioned, but not for monthly and lifetime subscriptions. That doesn't necessarily mean these durations are not coming; just that they are still in development and could be added in the future. A weekly subscription for ChatGPT Plus makes a lot of sense, especially for target audiences like students and young adults who may need the AI digital assistant for shorter durations (though students could get ChatGPT Plus for free recently, too). A weekly plan lowers the price barrier to accessing the Plus subscription since it will hopefully be cheaper than the monthly subscription (unless OpenAI raises prices across the board). Even extending the Plus subscription to annual billing makes plenty of sense for users who are loyal enough to ChatGPT. However, a lifetime ChatGPT Plus subscription sounds a bit of a stretch. OpenAI will have to factor in future development costs for AI technology and features, potentially pricing the subscription tier to an absurdly high number. Yet, it might just make sense for some hardcore AI loyalists. Given the relatively nascent state of AI, it doesn't make much sense right now to subscribe to any AI digital assistant for such a long time. Who knows what the future holds, what ChatGPT looks like, how competitors catch up or lag behind, and if you'd even need a Plus subscription in the first place! OpenAI hasn't discussed further billing options for ChatGPT Plus or other tiers. We'll keep you updated when we learn more. Keep in mind that Google has also been spotted working on more Google One AI plans with annual billing, so it could be that OpenAI is getting ready to react as needed. Got a tip? Talk to us!
