Finding out who needs the most advanced OpenAI subscription

So, the first announcement within 12 Days of OpenAI was the ChatGPT Pro subscription for $200/mo. Users immediately started testing the features of the chatbot and discussing what results could be achieved with the o1 reasoning model.

What is ChatGPT Pro | Comparison with Plus

ChatGPT Pro is a new $200/mo subscription tier. According to Sam Altman, it’s the best OpenAI has to offer. ChatGPT Pro primarily aims at advanced creators, developers, researchers, and other professionals.

I suggest we compare it to the Plus subscription.

Here's what you get with each of them:

The key difference (well, besides cost) is access to the full version of the o1 model and usage limits. The new AI is better than its predecessors: it solves complex real-world questions well, quickly analyzes large amounts of data, and, as they say in OpenAI, easily handles complex math problems.

At the same time, o1 pro mode checks its own answers as tasks are completed, making the model the most robust AI on the market. In addition, ChatGPT Pro users get the highest priority. Regardless of workload and time, OpenAI promises to provide its subscribers unlimited access to all subscription-enabled models. In addition, the new tier will exclusively receive all the latest features from OpenAI in the future.

A minor limitation here is that o1 pro reasoning requires extra time, so if speed is more important than accuracy, you should use the simpler GPT-4o, also available in the Plus & Pro subscriptions.

First Use Cases of ChatGPT Pro

We could cite benchmarks where the o1 pro mode beats competitors and other OpenAI models to show the power. But this is rather boring. Let's instead see how this AI copes with quite real creators' tasks.

Fortunately, many such examples have accumulated on X over the last few days.

Coinbase Clone with One Prompt

Popular AI creator Mckay Wrigley tested o1 pro mode right after its release. To find out how good it is at coding, Wrigley took a screenshot of a page on Coinbase and asked four models, including o1, to clone the website. Three of them (whose names the creator doesn't mention) could have done better, while ChatGPT Pro created a visually excellent product.

And the result:

Here is the prompt that was used to clone Coinbase:
