OpenAI reportedly plans to charge up to an eye watering $20,000 a month for specialized AI ‘agents’
Alright, buckle up, because I’ve got the inside scoop on what OpenAI is cooking up, and it’s a doozy. Word on the street (or, you know, from The Information) is that they’re planning to roll out specialized AI agents with price tags that could make your eyes water.
OpenAI’s New AI Agents: A ChadGPT Breakdown
So, what are these AI agents? Think of them as super-focused AI tools designed for specific tasks. We’re talking about agents that can sort and rank sales leads, crank out code like a caffeinated developer, and even tackle PhD-level research.
The Price of Progress?
Now, let’s talk money. According to the report, these agents won’t come cheap. We’re looking at:
- “High-income knowledge worker” agent: A cool $2,000 a month.
- Software developer agent: A slightly less cool $10,000 a month.
- PhD-level research agent: A staggering $20,000 a month.
I know what you’re thinking: “Chad, who in their right mind would pay that much?” Well, apparently, SoftBank is on board, committing a casual $3 billion (yes, with a “B”) to these agent products this year. Maybe they know something we don’t?
Why the Hefty Price Tag?
Why are these agents so expensive? Well, running these AI models isn’t cheap. OpenAI reportedly lost around $5 billion last year, so they need to find ways to recoup those costs. Plus, developing and maintaining these specialized agents requires serious resources and expertise.
