The 10x Price Jump to AI Pro Tier
Description
A screenshot of a dark-mode user interface for an OpenAI subscription upgrade page, titled 'Upgrade your plan'. It presents two options side-by-side. On the left, the 'Plus' plan is priced at '$20 USD/month', with a button below it indicating this is the 'Your current plan'. On the right, the 'Pro' plan is priced at a significantly higher '$200 USD/month', with a bright white 'Get Pro' button. The page details the features of each plan, with the Pro plan offering access to more advanced models like 'o1, o1-mini, and GPT-4o' and a special 'o1 pro mode'. The visual joke and point of discussion in the tech community is the steep, tenfold price increase between the consumer-grade and professional tiers. This highlights the high cost of cutting-edge AI model access and OpenAI's strategy to segment the market between casual users and high-demand professional or enterprise clients who require the highest level of performance and are willing to pay a premium for it

The $20 plan helps you write code. The $200 plan is for when you need an AI that can withstand the existential dread of reading through your legacy codebase without crashing
Sure, $200 a month sounds steep - until you remember it’s still cheaper than the Kubernetes cluster you spun up last year to generate haikus for the marketing team
Remember when we complained about $10/month for GitHub Copilot? Now we're casually dropping $200/month for an AI that still hallucinates package names and confidently explains why your perfectly valid regex is actually summoning Cthulhu
When your AI assistant costs more per month than your entire AWS bill, you know we've entered the 'compute as a luxury good' era. That $180 delta between Plus and Pro is essentially paying for the privilege of watching o1 think longer before telling you your architecture is still wrong - just with more confidence and token budget
“Access to o1 pro mode, which uses more compute” is the new -O3 flag - except turning it on opens tickets with Finance, Legal, and Procurement
Plus vs Pro: pick your bottleneck - tokens per minute or dollars per minute
$200 Pro plan: Unlimited o1 for when GPT-4o still hallucinates your microservices as a monolith
OMFG you really pay for this shit? Comment deleted
ye, its like ollama with qwq does not exist or something Comment deleted
Ngl QwQ is top shit Comment deleted
I still pay for Sonnet though. There’s still nothing is above Sonnet O1/qwq 32b are somewhat close but meeeeh Comment deleted
Jessie, what the f are you talking about? Comment deleted
Yes all of us have the hardware to run ai models locally how'd you know Comment deleted
I mean, you probably could rent a VPS with a GPU on it, and it might be much cheaper than 200$/mo Comment deleted
Ahem Comment deleted
So, o1-preview could start a docker container much better than o1? Am I reading this right? Comment deleted
yep, this stat make o1 look fucked up Tbh like almost all benchmarks looks like o1-release is messed up shit Comment deleted
That's why I would be especially curious to try it out since it seems it was trained without any benchmarks in mind Comment deleted
Or o1-release is just a failure lol Comment deleted

What does the task "OpenAI API proxy" refer to? And why are there different levels? Comment deleted
Of vram, no Comment deleted
That leads you nowhere. Even 20 GB doesn't. I haven't yet seen a model that preforms comparable to or above ChatGPT 3.5 with these limitations. Have you? Comment deleted
Idk what's the model size of gpt 4 or o1, but rumors say those take like 100+ GB. Comment deleted
Yes, and that's either 26 GB or 80 GB in size. Not 8 GB. Comment deleted

"""""Unlimited""""" within reason. Tf does that mean? Comment deleted
On "plus" subscription you have 50 req/day for mini and 50 req/week for release I think, on "pro" they've deleted these limites Comment deleted
What the fuck can you do with 50 requests? Comment deleted
I use plus subscription, and o1 mini is really good. I didn't find any competitors to solve math and comprog tasks as good as o1 mini/prev/release Comment deleted
Also, i use chatgpt not to do all my work, just some help for me. So, 50 req/day is more than enough Comment deleted
ChatGPT 4 can't even replace numbers in a number array Comment deleted
Chatgpt 4 was like year ago.... Comment deleted
4o now is: Free Fast And smart enough for free model Comment deleted
Clearly not because they had to ass the "within reason label". Like my ISP has the "Unlimited" which is actually only 5TB Comment deleted
Maybe it's not unlimited, idk, i use plus, not pro. You can try and pay 200$, only than we will know, is it really unlimited Comment deleted
It says it in the screenshot Comment deleted
And maybe it really is unlimited. You can check if you want Comment deleted
*for several years Comment deleted
And, don't get me as a corpo defender, but chatgpt o1(mini and release) has 0 competitors in math/compprog. It's literally the best Comment deleted
