OpenAI is considering significantly higher subscription prices for its chatbot AI models, with internal discussions suggesting rates could go up to $2,000 per month. This potential price hike would apply to upcoming AI models, including the reasoning-focused Strawberry and a new flagship model called Orion. The discussions are still in early stages, and final prices may be lower. OpenAI's move reflects the increasing value placed on advanced AI capabilities and comes amid its efforts to secure additional funding from investors such as Microsoft, Apple, and others. This development comes as OpenAI reportedly has 1 million paid users.
