OpenAI announced a new Pro 500 subscription tier priced at $500 per month (about HUF 160,000). The plan targets heavy, work-oriented users of ChatGPT, Codex and other OpenAI tools who need higher throughput and faster response times.
What Ultrafast offers
A key feature of the Pro 500 plan is the Ultrafast premium speed tier. According to OpenAI, using Ultrafast the Codex and Work applications can generate up to 300 tokens per second, which translates into faster coding and task completion in practice. Ultrafast is also available to API users, allowing integration into third-party and enterprise workflows.
Changes to the existing Pro tier
OpenAI first introduced a $200-per-month Pro plan at the end of 2024, a package that many competitors later copied. With the launch of the $500 tier, OpenAI is adjusting limits on the $200 option: the usage cap that had been 20 times the Plus plan’s limit is now halved. Existing subscribers will not lose their previous limit immediately.
Dot personal assistant included for Pro subscribers
All Pro subscribers will receive access to Dot, a personal AI assistant. OpenAI says that Dot’s usage does not count against the subscription’s usage quota.
New model: GPT-6.1 Sol
OpenAI also introduced the GPT-6.1 Sol model. The company states that GPT-6.1 Sol delivers capabilities similar to GPT-6.0 Astra while costing roughly one-fifth as much, and that it is considered safer.
Availability in Hungary
The Pro 500 tier is not yet available in Hungary, though OpenAI’s announcement suggests it should arrive without a long delay.
Why this matters
Pro 500 and the Ultrafast tier offer significant performance and speed improvements for power users such as developers and enterprise customers. At the same time, the price point and adjusted limits show OpenAI continuing to segment its subscription offerings to match different user needs.
