Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, announced that the company plans to roll out new compute-heavy AI features over the coming weeks.
Because of the high infrastructure and GPU costs, some of these offerings will initially be restricted to Pro tier users, and certain products will carry additional fees. Altman described this as exploring what is possible when “a lot of compute” is applied to new ideas, balancing innovation with cost.
Despite the steep expenses, OpenAI’s stated goal is to reduce the long-term cost of intelligence and broaden access over time.
