🧑‍💼 $2,000 month for ChatGPT-5?

OpenAI is reportedly planning to significantly increase the price of its subscription services for the upcoming AI model, “Strawberry” (also called GPT-Next), with a potential jump from $20 per month for ChatGPT Plus to as high as $2000 per month.

The Details:

• Price Hike: The new subscription for the next-gen Strawberry model could reach $2000 per month, far above the current $20 monthly ChatGPT Plus plan.

• Advanced Reasoning: Strawberry features “System 2 thinking,” allowing the AI to think and reason through problems, improving performance on complex tasks like math, where it scores over 90% on the MATH benchmark.

• Better Training Data: Strawberry can generate high-quality synthetic training data, addressing the shortage of diverse datasets needed for AI training.

• Huge Performance Boost: OpenAI claims Strawberry will be 100x more powerful than GPT-4, thanks to better optimization, without requiring additional hardware.

OpenAI’s potential price hike reflects the advanced capabilities of its upcoming Strawberry model. With major improvements in problem-solving and data generation, Strawberry could revolutionize AI, but at a significantly higher cost for users.
