OpenAI’s “12 days of shipmas” event doesn’t kick off for a few hours, but the first big announcement might’ve been revealed early.
A staging page on a website used by OpenAI refers to a “ChatGPT Pro” plan that includes all the benefits of ChatGPT Plus, as well as new goodies. Recall that ChatGPT Plus is an upgraded version of OpenAI’s AI-powered chatbot platform, ChatGPT.

According to the page, which was discovered by software engineer Tibor Blaho, ChatGPT Pro provides unlimited access to all of OpenAI’s models — including the full version of its o1 “reasoning” model, o1-mini, and GPT-4o.
Also included in ChatGPT Pro is unlimited access to Advanced Voice Mode, ChatGPT’s human-like conversational feature, and a new “o1 pro mode,” which “uses more compute for the best answers to the hardest questions,” according to the page.
All this might come at a hefty price, however. Per the page, ChatGPT Pro starts at $200 per month or £200/€229, depending on the region. User who upgrade from ChatGPT Plus to Pro will get a prorated credit for the remainder of their subscription.
That’d make ChatGPT Pro easily OpenAI’s most expensive subscription plan yet — and 10x the cost of ChatGPT Plus.
A separate leaked page uncovered by Blaho contains another surprise: mention of what could be OpenAI’s next major model. According to the page, subscribers to OpenAI’s ChatGPT Team plan will soon get access to a “limited preview” of “GPT-4.5.”

We’ll have confirmation soon enough, with any luck.
