OpenAI Considers Usage-Based Pricing Strategy

Sam Altman admits the current pricing for ChatGPT is as basic as it gets—no market research, just a gut call on $20/month.

Now, the company’s exploring usage-based pricing, where you pay based on how much compute power you actually use. This rework aims to address cost-efficiency for customers, especially as new 'o' models gobble up more computing resources. Oh, and fun fact: the $200 ChatGPT Pro tier is actually losing money.

With this revamp, OpenAI hopes to keep their ambitions toward AGI alive, streamline their safety concerns, and, well, pay the bills.
