OpenAI is bringing the o1 reasoning model series out of preview in ChatGPT and is launching a new pro tier, a $200 a month plan for unlimited access to o1, GPT-4o, and Advanced Voice mode.

Why it matters: The announcement comes after ChatGPT's two-year anniversary as OpenAI aims to advance human-like reasoning tasks and bolster revenue.

Zoom in: The new model is accessible to ChatGPT Plus and Team users today. It will be available to Enterprise and Edu users next week.

The company said that compared to o1-preview (code-named Strawberry), users can expect a faster, more powerful and more accurate model that is better at coding and math.
It can also provide reasoning responses to image uploads with more detail and accuracy.
OpenAI's new $200 monthly subscription tier, called ChatGPT Pro, includes a version of o1 — exclusive to Pro users — that uses more compute to deliver the best possible answer to the hardest problems.

What's next: OpenAI is planning to add support for web browsing and file uploads. It's also looking to make o1 available in the API with new capabilities including vision, function calling, developer messages and structured outputs, enabling richer interactions with external systems.
