ChatGPT Pro will be part of OpenAI’s existing subscription tiers which include ChatGPT Plus, Team and Enterprise.
Subscribers to ChatGPT Pro will gain access to OpenAI’s most advanced tools such as unlimited use of the new reasoning models o1, o1 mini, GPT-4o and advanced voice features. Moreover, it includes the o1 pro mode, which leverages enhanced computing power to handle more complex queries.
According to OpenAI, the o1 pro mode outperforms its o1 and o1-preview counterparts on machine learning benchmarks in areas like math, science and coding. This makes the new mode a suitable choice for professionals and researchers who need precise and high-level capabilities.
OpenAI o1 is now out of preview in ChatGPT.
What’s changed since the preview? A faster, more powerful reasoning model that’s better at coding, math & writing.
o1 now also supports image uploads, allowing it to apply reasoning to visuals for more detailed & useful responses. pic.twitter.com/hrLiID3MhJ

OpenAI, in its announcement post, explains, “Pro users can access this functionality by selecting o1 pro mode in the model picker and asking a question directly. Since answers will take longer to generate, ChatGPT will display a progress bar and send an in-app notification if you switch away to another conversation.”
With ChatGPT Pro, OpenAI continues to expand its services for demanding users while also maintaining its position as a leader in the AI industry.
