OpenAI on Thursday, September 5, announced that the number of its paying users exceeded 1 million within the framework of business products, including ChatGPT Enterprise, Team, and Edu.
The mentioned landmark result is largely because the active implementation of the specified company’s chatbot is currently underway. The corresponding process has positive realization indicators due to the advanced large language model developed by OpenAI.
It is worth noting that 600,000 paying users of the company’s business products were registered in April. The growth of the corresponding figure indicates that the efforts of OpenAI chief executive officer Sam Altman to implement ChatGPT for corporate use have a significant result.
Also this week, the media reported that the company’s executives are currently discussing the possibility of increasing the subscription price for large language models that will be presented in the future. In this case, it means products such as, for example, reasoning-focused Strawberry. Also, in the appropriate context, mention should be made of the expected debut of the flagship large language model called Orion.
The media, citing an insider, reported that during the early negotiations, the price of a subscription of up to $2,000 per month was discussed. Currently, the cost of access to ChatGPT Plus is $20 per month.
It is worth noting that during the period of active development and spread of artificial intelligence, the issue of cybersecurity is of particular importance. Scammers also have access to AI technologies, which is why their activities become more sophisticated. In this case, the personal awareness of users is important. For example, a query in an Internet search engine, such as how to know if my camera is hacked, will allow anyone to get information about signs of unauthorized access to the device.
