GoKawiilOpenAI tests $500 ChatGPT Pro Max tier with faster Codex access
Interface elements spotted by TestingCatalog show OpenAI testing a new ChatGPT Pro Max subscription priced at $500 per month, or $600 with VAT in some regions. The tier is listed alongside existing Plus and Pro plans, promising OpenAI's most capable models, maximum memory, 100GB of storage, early feature access, and 'Fastest Work and Codex' performance, though OpenAI has not officially announced it.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The unreleased tier suggests OpenAI is responding to power users who have found the current $200 Pro plan's usage limits insufficient. The 'Fastest Work and Codex' language, combined with OpenAI's past deployment of Cerebras hardware for ultra-fast inference, hints that Pro Max could tap Cerebras chips for speed, though this connection remains speculative until OpenAI confirms details or launch timing.
- A $500/month ChatGPT Pro Max tier has appeared in OpenAI's subscription interface but hasn't been officially announced.
- The plan promises frontier models, maximum memory, 100GB storage, and faster Codex performance.
- Its mention of 'Fastest Work' fuels speculation it may use Cerebras hardware, which OpenAI has used before for rapid inference.
