Because of how popular it has become, the artificial intelligence text generator ChatGPT has frequently been “at capacity” in recent times, which has resulted in excruciatingly long wait times.
ChatGPT is experimenting with a subscription model for users who require faster speeds, more reliable access, and priority access to newly added features in order to solve the problem. Although it is currently in the early access phase and is not yet available to the general public, here is what we are aware of so far about the game.
What is the ChatGPT Pro?
Chatter That Is Creative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), an advanced and highly accurate machine learning assistant that is able to carry out natural language “chats,” has become a darling of artificial intelligence (and investment) due to its capabilities. The most recent version of the program, which was developed by OpenAI and was co-founded by Elon Musk, was educated using vast amounts of data scraped from the internet before the year 2022.
You can use ChatGPT to do things such as write fiction or non-fiction, perform calculations, generate Python code, and summarize data from spreadsheets into text by responding to text prompts. All of these tasks can be accomplished with ChatGPT. Humans are continually making adjustments to and keeping an eye on the model that it uses.
Details are beginning to emerge from a variety of insiders, such as Linas Belinas, as well as a select group of users, suggesting that OpenAI may be on the verge of releasing the Pro version of ChatGPT. OpenAI will provide users with faster response speeds, more reliable access, and priority access to new features in exchange for the privilege of using the platform.
In point of fact, this is the response that I received from ChatGPT when I questioned them about it: “ChatGPT-Pro is an upgraded version of the original ChatGPT model, featuring increased capacity and capabilities.” It is trained on a much larger dataset in order to perform specific tasks such as dialogue generation, summarization, and language translation. Additionally, it is fine-tuned to perform these tasks. It is also capable of generating responses that are more similar to those of humans, which makes it useful for applications such as customer service, personal assistants, and chatbots.
Why does OpenAI want you to pay?
ChatGPT has high running costs — from hosting, upkeep, upgrading hardware, updates, satisfying its investor, etc — while its own popularity has led to an immediate need to improve its accessibility and speed to a greater user base. Some estimates peg daily running costs at $100,000, or up to $3 million a month! The premium subscription should help to cover GPU upgrades.
It’s safe to assume that a premium tier will let OpenAI control bandwidth issues, especially during peak times of the day of use.
How much will it cost?
It’s claimed to be $42 a month at the moment for Pro access, although it’s unknown if other subscription options will be available after its official release. As ChatGPT Pro is not yet public, this cost could change before officially launching.
Is it still going to be free to use ChatGPT?
Yes, at least for the foreseeable future. You can continue to query the chatbot for free, although that comes with possible blackout times when the service is busy, throttling, query quotas (more than half the limit of Pro), and slower responses, among others.
Can I subscribe to ChatGPT Pro now?
Currently ChatGPT Pro is in the early access phase, which means it’s by invitation only to a select group of users from its waitlist. Additionally, OpenAI has not officially confirmed or denied whether these leaks are legitimate or whether the pricing is for testing purposes only, so make sure you stay tuned to this space for the most recent updates.
OpenAI also hasn’t given any firm information on when ChatGPT Pro will be available, but it’s certainly clear that demand couldn’t be higher right now.
