OpenAI is discussing charging up to $2,000 per month for its upcoming advanced AI models, Strawberry and Orion, which are set to perform tasks beyond current AI capabilities, such as solving complex math problems and deep research. These potential prices represent a significant jump from the $20 per month fee for ChatGPT Plus, which currently serves millions of users globally.
OpenAI is also considering simplifying its corporate structure to attract more financial backing and is aiming to raise billions in a funding round, potentially valuing the company above $100 billion. Key investors like Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Thrive Capital are reportedly interested in participating.
