Details

OpenAI is reportedly preparing a new ChatGPT Pro Max subscription tier priced at $500 per month. This tier is distinguished by its access to 'Fastest' inference speeds, which are particularly valuable for long-running tasks and Codex operations that can continue for hours or days. While higher usage limits are mentioned as a possibility, they have not been confirmed. The plan is expected to sit above the current $200 Pro tier and other competitors like Anthropic's $200 plans and Google's roughly $250 AI Ultra tier. There is speculation that the 'Fastest' tier may rely on Cerebras infrastructure, given OpenAI's existing use of Cerebras for latency-focused models, though this connection has not been confirmed by OpenAI.
