OpenAI is preparing a $500 ChatGPT Pro Max plan with faster Codex

OpenAI appears to be preparing a new ChatGPT Pro Max subscription that could cost $500 per month, but it's unclear when it'll begin rolling out.

OpenAI users, particularly power users, have been requesting more usage than the existing $200 plan offers for a while, so the $500 plan isn't just coming out of nowhere.

Right now, we don't know when you'll be able to subscribe to the $500 plan, but as spotted by TestingCatalog, the unannounced plan has started appearing in ChatGPT's subscription interface alongside Plus and existing Pro options.

One version of the page lists Pro Max at $500 per month, while another shows $600 after local taxes or VAT are included.

So far, the most interesting difference in OpenAI's description is "Fastest Work and Codex."

I also noticed that ChatGPT's new plan teases access to the company's most capable frontier models, maximum memory, 100GB of file storage, and early access to new features.
