OpenAI's latest AI model, o1, now out of preview with enhanced reasoning and image processing capabilities
ChatGPT creator OpenAI introduced the latest iteration of its flagship AI model, o1 Pro, on Thursday—along with a new ChatGPT Pro subscription tier that features an eye-popping price tag. This subscription tier includes several new features, such as access to OpenAI o1, o1-mini, and GPT-4o, as well as advanced voice AI capabilities. However, the new offering comes with a steep price tag: $200 per month.
OpenAI unveils o1 as the successor to GPT-3 and 4o, highlighting its efficiency and significant improvements
OpenAI first unveiled o1 in September after weeks of speculation and rumors around codenames like “Strawberry” and “Orion.” The model was considered so advanced that OpenAI decided to adopt a new naming convention, moving away from GPT-3 and 4o to simply “o1.” The model also demonstrates significant improvements in reducing “major errors on difficult real-world questions by 34%” compared to its predecessor.
Debate arises over the $200 monthly subscription fee for ChatGPT Pro, with some questioning its accessibility and value
While AI enthusiasts praised the abilities of upgrades offered by ChatGPT Pro, many have balked at the $200 monthly subscription fee, with many calling it too expensive for the average user. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman highlighted ChatGPT’s significant growth since its launch in November 2022, with over 300 million weekly active users. The debate over generative AI value and accessibility continues as OpenAI plans to introduce more advanced tools.
