OpenAI Scales Up for Developers: New ChatGPT Pro Tier Offers 5x More Codex Power
OpenAI is doubling down on its support for the developer community with the release of ChatGPT Pro, a premium subscription designed for high-density coding sessions. Priced at $100 monthly, the plan is built around the Codex engine, which now serves millions of users weekly. This tier allows developers to maintain long-form, complex workflows without the interruptions often found in lower-tier plans. The move comes as a response to the rapid adoption of Claude Code by Anthropic, which has set a high bar for autonomous AI programming.
