US media: OpenAI considers launching a subscription service for its reasoning AI model

According to The Information, OpenAI executives have discussed upcoming subscription services for large language models, such as OpenAI's reasoning-focused "Strawberry" and a new flagship LLM called "Orion." How much customers are willing to pay for AI chatbots is not only related to OpenAI, but also to competitors that offer similar products, including Google, Anthropic, and other companies. A person with direct knowledge of the relevant numbers said that in OpenAI's early internal discussions, a subscription price of up to $2,000 per month had been discussed, but nothing was final. Whether the final subscription price will be that high is still unknown.
