ChatGPT’s 'compute-intensive' next act better be dazzling, because the competition is outshining its recent efforts

Sam Altman says something big is coming to ChatGPT. Something “compute-intensive.” Something powerful enough to justify a higher price tag, or at least a ChatGPT Pro subscription. But it will have to really shine, as Google and other OpenAI rivals are already lighting up the sky.

Altman's X post managed to sound both ambitious and apologetic. He promised that features are rolling out soon, and that they’ll push the limits of current AI. He then admitted that they may also push your wallet's limits. So some tools will be available only to Pro subscribers, and others might demand an even steeper fee. Because, as he put it, these upcoming experiments are going to demand a lot of computing power.
