OpenAI rumored to prep $500/month ChatGPT ProMax tier pitching fastest Work and Codex
新智元 · wechat · 2026-09-25
Developers Tibor Blaho and TestingCatalog spotted traces of a $500/month ChatGPT ProMax tier in ChatGPT's frontend config, pitched as the "fastest Work and Codex." If launched, it would top Claude Max ($250) and Google AI Ultra ($250) as the priciest personal AI plan.
- Unlike prior tiers that sold usage quotas, ProMax sells compute priority and low latency for long-running agent tasks
- The pricing follows compute strain: a week after GPT-6 Astra launched, OpenAI halted new $200 Pro subscriptions on Sept 10, with no recovery timeline
- A stronger model reportedly codenamed Bel has allegedly produced a Navier–Stokes proof; next week's DevDay may reveal ProMax, a $50 OpenAI Platform plan, or Bel
- Contrasts with Anthropic's risk-based gating of Opus 5.5 for dangerous tasks; OpenAI also halved API prices for lightweight models the same week
