OpenAI launched ChatGPT Pro at $200/month with unlimited usage and a more capable mode for using o1.
Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
True if, as of 2024-12-05, OpenAI had launched (made available for subscription) a ChatGPT plan called ChatGPT Pro priced at $200 per month that offered unlimited usage (of its models, as OpenAI described it, possibly subject to fair-use or abuse limits) and an extra mode for o1 that uses more compute or is more capable (e.g., 'o1 pro mode'). Mostly true if the plan launched at $200/month with an enhanced o1 mode but 'unlimited' covered only some models or carried notable restrictions, or if availability started within days of the claim but was announced that day. Mixed if the plan launched but either the price was clearly different or there was no enhanced o1 mode. Mostly false if a Pro tier was only announced as coming later, or differed on several of the stated elements. False if no such plan was launched or announced by OpenAI around that date.
Set before the research began.

E4 OpenAI confirms new $200 monthly subscription, ChatGPT Pro, which includes its o1 reasoning model | TechCrunch TechCrunch · 5 December 2024
“Confirming leaks this morning, OpenAI announced ChatGPT Pro, a new $200-per-month subscription tier that provides unlimited access to all of OpenAI’s models, including the full version of its o1 “reasoning” model.”
Reasoning
MacRumors and TechCrunch, both independent, reported on 2024-12-05 that OpenAI had launched ChatGPT Pro. Both put the price at $200 per month and said it gave unlimited access to o1 (E3, E4), with TechCrunch saying this covered all of OpenAI's models (E4). OpenAI's own announcement that day gives the same plan, price and unlimited access (E1). It also lists 'o1 pro mode', which uses more compute to give better answers (E2). Together these confirm every element of the claim as of the claim date.
