Heavy users of ChatGPT should pay attention. OpenAI has adjusted its personal "Pro" subscription plan and newly provides three price levels, with monthly fees of 3,300 yuan, 6,990 yuan and 16,500 yuan respectively.
ChatGPT Pro is available in 3 price points
For individual Pro users, ChatGPT mainly provided two monthly plans of 3,300 yuan and 6,990 yuan. After OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra earlier this month, it temporarily suspended new user subscriptions for the 6,999 yuan monthly Pro plan due to a surge in user demand and overwhelming the system.

Now OpenAI has reopened the Pro plan priced at 6,999 yuan per month, and added the highest level of 16,500 yuan per month. Therefore, there are currently 3 options for the Pro plan. The highest-end plan focuses on ultimate performance and higher usage limits.
It is worth noting that the re-launched Pro plan priced at 6,990 yuan per month also adopts a new quota calculation method. According to OpenAI, although converted into API usage costs, the book amount of the new version of the solution is only about half of the old version. However, since the usage cost of the new generation model has been reduced, the actual usability level may not be equivalent to a reduction in half. OpenAI also announced that it will soon announce more subscription benefits that will not be counted toward usage.
GPT-6.1 Sol debuts simultaneously
In addition to adjusting the subscription plan, OpenAI also released a new generation of GPT-6.1 Sol. OpenAI said that after the improvements in version 6.1, Sol is rapidly narrowing the "intelligent capability" gap between Sol and Astra, and its performance has almost caught up with the flagship Astra in a number of performance indicators.
GPT-6.1 Sol has begun to be rolled out to various OpenAI solutions. The first wave will be provided to ChatGPT Work and Codex. However, the general ChatGPT chat function is not yet supported. OpenAI also pointed out that GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast will be released in the next few days to further improve the speed of model generation. As for GPT-6.1 Astra, it was recently reported that OpenAI has decided to postpone its launch due to security concerns.

Employees and independent security researchers say OpenAI has systemic problems with security, including unauthorized access to internal communications, code and user chats, the company has been slow to respond to vulnerability reports, and security decisions are largely made by the president and chief information security officer, rather than directly involving the CEO. Multiple incidents have shown that its AI models have taken dangerous actions without instructions, such as hacking into government websites and fabricating data. Although the company claims to be committed to safety and has implemented corrective measures, former employees and researchers point out that its safety culture is still in its infancy and fails to match the scale of its technology.
