OpenAI has opened a waitlist for an âexperimentalâ paid version of ChatGPT with faster answers, as it makes effort to "keep the technology viable in the long-term," per a report by The Verge.
According to the report, OpenAI shared a waitlist for what the company is calling âChatGPT Professionalâ in an official company Discord. The âexperimentalâ paid version of ChatGPT will include benefits like  âalways available,â offer âfast responsesâ with no throttling and give users âat leastâ twice the daily number of answers compared to the free version of the chatbot.
This comes after CEO Altman announced that it costs the company millions of dollars a month to keep the ChatGPT system free to use. Itâs no surprise, then, that OpenAI has decided to monetize the chatbot through its pro offering.
The company is now looking to secure $10 billion in funding from close partner Microsoft and is also in talks to raise funding at a $30 billion valuation.
It is noteworthy to mention that OpenAI already offers paid access to some of its software, like image generator DALL-E.
