Advanced ChatGPT features will cost extra, even if you pay for Pro

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is planning to introduce several new, computationally intensive features in the coming weeks. However, some of these features will initially be available only to Pro subscribers, who pay a monthly fee of $200. According to OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, the high cost of these new features has prompted the decision to make them exclusive to Pro subscribers. Altman also mentioned that some upcoming products may come with additional fees. The CEO emphasized OpenAI's goal to make its services widely available and drive down the cost of intelligence over time. However, the company wants to explore the potential of applying substantial computational power to new ideas, even if it means charging for some features in the short term. The specific details of the new features are still unknown, but the article suggests that they may be related to more advanced capabilities of the ChatGPT language model.
