Is $20,000 a month enough for OpenAI to make money?
OpenAI is considering charging a whopping $20,000 a month for access to Ph.D.-level agents — AI that can take actions on behalf of users — according to a report from The Information. If you’re just a “high-income knowledge worker,” you could access a lower-end agent for $2,000 a month. Presumably agents would do enough work on behalf of their users to justify the price tag, but that remains to be seen.
This is the latest addition to the ChatGPT maker’s confusing product road map, and one that the company hopes will account for 20% to 25% of its revenue in the long term. Notably, these prices are much higher than what OpenAI, funded by Microsoft, was charging for its most expensive non-agent chatbot tier, $200 a month, and still losing money.
