Expect more of this as they scramble to course-correct from losing billions every year, to hitting their 2029 target for profitability. That money's gotta come from somewhere.
> Price hikes for the premium ChatGPT have long been rumored. By 2029, OpenAI expects it’ll charge $44 per month for ChatGPT Plus, according to reporting by The New York Times.
I suspect a big part of why Sora still isn't available is because they couldn't afford to offer it on their existing plans, maybe it'll be exclusive to this new $200 tier.
- boringg 2y agoThat CAPEX spend and those generous salaries have to get paid somehow ...
- doctorpangloss 2y agoChatGPT as a standalone service is profitable. But that’s not saying much.
- crowcroft 2y agoIs this on a purely variable basis? Assuming that the cost of foundation models is $0 etc?
- shadowmanif 2y agoTotally agree with Sora. Runway is $35 a month to generate 10 second clips and you really get very few generations for that. $95 a month for unlimited 10 second clips. I love art and experimental film. I really was excited for Sora but it will need what feels like unlimited generation to explore what it can do . That is going to cost an arm and a leg for the compute. Something about video especially seems like it will need to be ran locally to really work. Pay a monthly fee for the model that can run as much as you want with your own compute.
- fragmede 2y agoSora isn't available because of the deep fake potential.
- lexandstuff 2y agoMy guess is that it isn't available because the training data they stole occasionally leaks into the outputs.
- distalx 2y agoDidn't they initially offer a professional plan at $42/mo?
- aiono 2y agoCan you link to the source where they state that they want to be profitable in 2029? I am curious.
