OpenAI prepping budget Go ChatGPT tier ahead of GPT-5 launch
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is likely preparing a new subscription plan called 'Go' that could be easier on the pocket compared to the current paid options. While there is no official word yet, the new plan might be announced around the time OpenAI rolls out its next big AI model, first hint about this new plan came from a user named Tibor Bhaho on X (formerly Twitter), who shared a screenshot of the ChatGPT web app code. The image showed some references to the 'Go' tier, suggesting that OpenAI may be testing it internally or planning to release it now, OpenAI offers two paid plans — the Plus plan for regular users at $20 (about Rs 1,750) per month and the Pro plan for developers, which costs $200 per month. The new Go plan is expected to be cheaper than Plus, which may help more users access the service without paying a high fee. However, the exact features that will be included in the Go plan are still unclear. It might offer access to newer but lighter versions of AI models like o3 or o4-mini-high. But it is also possible that advanced tools such as agents or OpenAI's video AI tool Sora will not be part of this lower-priced from this upcoming subscription tier, OpenAI also seems to be adding new features to the web version of ChatGPT. Some users have started noticing a 'Favourites' section and a 'Pin chat' feature, which may make it easier to save and manage conversations. These features, however, are not available to everyone yet and seem to be part of limited possible launch of the Go plan is being linked to the expected release of GPT-5. OpenAI has been working on this next-generation AI model for several months, though its rollout has been pushed back a few times due to safety concerns. GPT-5 is said to bring better performance, reasoning abilities, and deeper integration with tools like Sora and CEO Sam Altman recently confirmed that GPT-5 will be released soon. In a podcast chat with Theo Von, Altman shared a personal experience where he used GPT-5 to answer a question he didn't understand. He said the model responded instantly and correctly, which made him feel like the AI had outperformed him. 'It was a weird feeling,' Altman Go plan, if launched, could serve as a middle ground for users who want more than what's offered in the free version but don't want to spend heavily on Plus or Pro. With competition growing in the AI space, a budget plan might also help OpenAI attract more users while offering limited access to powerful tools. That said, none of this is confirmed by the company. Since the information comes from code-level leaks, there's always a chance OpenAI could change its plans or scrap the Go tier altogether. So, for now, it's best to wait for an official announcement.- Ends

ChatGPT's biggest upgrade might be coming very soon
Rumors about the next version of OpenAI's ChatGPT have been circulating for months, but the release kept getting delayed. However, it appears that the GPT-5 model is almost ready, and it might launch soon. According to a report by The Verge, OpenAI might launch GPT-5 in early August. The same information was confirmed by Axios, and aligns with a recent claim by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman that the company is 'releasing GPT-5 soon.' Back in February, Sam Altman said GPT-5 would unify many of OpenAI's technologies. One of the major changes in the new model may be the addition of reasoning capabilities to the main product. Now, the o3 reasoning model is one of the various separate products that users need to specifically choose. OpenAI plans to roll out the main GPT-5 along with mini and nano variants. The main combined version and the mini GPT-5 may be available via both ChatGPT and the API, while the nano version could be limited to API access from reducing the complexity of its user product, OpenAI also aims to combine its models to make them more capable. The company's main goal is to achieve artificial general intelligence, or AGI, which would be a vastly more capable system than the currently available models. The other strongly anticipated model from OpenAI is the company's open-weight model. After a couple of delays, the open language model might ship before the end of July. OpenAI's goal is to release it before the launch of open language model may have abilities similar to the o3 mini, complete with reasoning capabilities. That would be OpenAI's first open-weight model since 2019's release of GPT-2. These types of large-language models are publicly available and can be downloaded and used freely by users. That's why OpenAI's open-weight model is expected to be available on cloud providers such as Hugging Face and in AI tend to hype up their achievements a little too much, but I'm quite excited about OpenAI's new model. Despite fierce competition from Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, Perplexity AI, and others, ChatGPT remains the most popular and, in my opinion, the best AI now, ChatGPT is capable of some impressive feats, so any improvement would make it even better. My main issue with all AI chatbots is that they hallucinate, which is why they often generate misleading information. GPT-5 is unlikely to solve that issue, but if it manages to sound less confident when hallucinating, it'd be a step in the right direction.
