OpenAI's EMEA startups head Laura Modiano spoke at the Sifted Summit on Wednesday, 8 October.
OpenAI has expanded its lower-cost subscription plan, ChatGPT Go, to 16 more countries across Asia, company head Nick Turley announced Thursday.
"Making ChatGPT more affordable has been a key ask from users," said Turley in a post on social media platform X in August.
The artificial intelligence company launched ChatGPT Go in India and Indonesia earlier this year.
The rollout brings OpenAI's cheapest plan to users across a total of 18 Asian countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Timor-Leste (East Timor) and Vietnam.
The expansion aims to increase the accessibility of the company's latest model GPT-5, OpenAI said on its website.
ChatGPT Go includes all features in the free version, as well as extended access to image generation, file uploads, advanced data analysis and other functions. It also includes higher usage limits than the free plan for core chat and tools, according to OpenAI.
