Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, just posted on X that the company is losing money on their pricey $200/month/seat ChatGPT Pro subscription – apparently due to subscribers using the product more than anticipated.
This might come as a surprise to some or many – especially given that ChatGPT Pro is ten times as expensive as the standard subscription. We can safely assume that OpenAI is not making money on the standard plan – their losing money on the Pro plan is indicative of how expensive it is to run a frontier AI model and a good indicator of how unsustainable the current wave of frontier AI companies really is.
I guess “to be continued”…
