SAN FRANCISCO — OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Pro, a premium $200 monthly subscription plan designed for users requiring advanced AI capabilities. This plan provides access to OpenAI’s most powerful models, including OpenAI o1, o1-mini, GPT-4o, and the enhanced o1 pro mode, which delivers improved accuracy and depth by utilizing more computational power for solving complex problems.

The o1 pro mode stands out with its ability to generate more reliable and comprehensive responses, particularly in specialized fields such as data science, programming, and legal analysis. External testing has shown o1 pro mode to outperform other models across challenging benchmarks in mathematics, science, and coding, setting a new standard for research-grade AI performance.

Enhanced Features for High-Level Productivity

ChatGPT Pro users gain access to a thoughtfully optimized interface that supports advanced workflows. When engaging with o1 pro mode, users can expect progress bars and in-app notifications to manage extended response generation times effectively. The enhanced computational depth offers unparalleled reliability, evaluated under stringent conditions where models must consistently produce correct results in repeated tests.

Supporting Groundbreaking Research

To drive progress in fields that benefit humanity, OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Pro Grants. These grants provide access to ChatGPT Pro for leading researchers in areas such as medicine, genetics, and neuroscience. Initial recipients include:

• Catherine Brownstein, Assistant Professor at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, focusing on rare disease genetics.
• Justin Reese, Computer Research Scientist at Berkeley Lab, using biomedical data to advance human health solutions.
• Rhoda Au, Professor at Boston University, researching aging and dementia.
• Derya Unutmaz, Professor at The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine, specializing in cancer immunotherapy and aging.

A New Frontier in AI Accessibility

ChatGPT Pro is tailored for researchers, engineers, and professionals seeking cutting-edge AI tools to enhance productivity and innovation. By combining state-of-the-art models with practical tools, OpenAI is enabling users to tackle increasingly complex challenges.

“We believe AI has the potential to address humanity’s most critical problems, but this requires both advanced capabilities and accessibility,” said an OpenAI spokesperson. “ChatGPT Pro bridges that gap, offering scalable, reliable tools that empower researchers and professionals to make real-world impacts today.”

The introduction of ChatGPT Pro signals OpenAI’s continued commitment to democratizing AI and fostering progress in industries that can benefit society. With future plans to expand Pro Grants and enhance the platform’s functionality, OpenAI is paving the way for a new era of AI-driven innovation.
