OpenAI over 1 million paid business users, executives discuss price increases

OpenAI announced that it has more than 1 million paying users of its business, ChatGPT Enterprise, Team and Edu products. The figure is up from the 600,000 users it had in April, showing that CEO Sam Altman's push to get enterprises to adopt ChatGPT for corporate use is paying off.

OpenAI executives have discussed higher-priced subscriptions for future models, such as the reasoning-focused Strawberry and a new project called Orion. In early internal talks at OpenAI, subscription prices ranging up to $2,000 per month were discussed, the report said.

ChatGPT Plus currently costs $20 per month. The free tier of the template is used by hundreds of millions of users every month. OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, is working with Strawberry to enable AI models to perform deep searches.

Strawberry includes a specialized mode of what is known as “post-training” artificial intelligence model generation, or adapting basic models to improve their performance in specific ways after they have already been “trained” on generalized datasets.

The reported price discussions come after media reports said Apple and chip giant Nvidia were in talks to invest in OpenAI as part of a new fundraising round that could value maker ChatGPT at over $100 billion. ChatGPT last week announced that the chatbot had amassed more than 200 million weekly active users, doubling from last fall.
