OpenAI reportedly preparing $500 monthly ChatGPT Pro Max tier

OpenAI is reportedly preparing a new premium subscription tier called ‘ChatGPT Pro Max,’ which could cost approximately $500 per month. While the company has not officially confirmed the plan, code leaks and screenshots discovered by researchers like TestingCatalog suggest the tier is in development.

Unlike existing plans, Pro Max appears to focus on maximizing processing speed and memory rather than increasing usage limits. It is specifically aimed at professionals, developers, and researchers who utilize intensive tools such as ‘Work’ for long-running tasks and ‘Codex’ for complex programming projects. The high-performance capabilities may be supported by Cerebras hardware infrastructure to minimize latency.

Speculation regarding the official announcement is mounting ahead of OpenAI’s DevDay conference, scheduled for September 29. The new tier would sit significantly above the current $20 Plus and $200 Pro plans.
