OpenAI is losing money on their $200/mo (!!) Pro subscription[0].

But making money off their subscriptions in general. They lose it all training models and on R&D

I wonder how long it'll last. Just using myself as a demo customer: I canceled my subscription because Google AI Studio was doing more for me, and it's free. OpenAI is not really competitive at $20 a month anymore.

Yeah not sure. I cancelled a while ago but I subscribed again once o1-preview came out and now o3-mini exists I still find it useful.

Of course, they are clearly cooking something or they wouldn't have just published a benchmark in which they do badly.
