OpenAI prepares new $500/month Pro Max plan for ChatGPT

Picture: TestingCatalog

OpenAI appears to be preparing a new ChatGPT Pro Max subscription priced at $500 per month. The plan has surfaced in unreleased ChatGPT subscription references, where its description differs from the existing Pro tier mainly through access to the “Fastest Work and Codex.” Higher usage limits may also be part of the package, although that is not confirmed yet. The wording suggests Pro Max could target developers, researchers, and professional users running long agentic workloads rather than regular ChatGPT users. Work is designed for longer tasks, while Codex can operate on coding jobs that continue for hours or even days, making inference speed much more valuable in these scenarios. Context also points to Cerebras infrastructure. OpenAI already uses Cerebras for its latency-focused inference path, including GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast.
