OpenAI isn't selling GPT-4 or o1 or o4-mini or turbo or whatever else to the general public. These announcements may as well be them releasing GPT v12.582.599385. No one outside of a small group of nerds cares. The end consumer is going to chatgpt.com and typing things in the box.
They have an enterprise business too. I think it's relevant for that.
And that’s exactly why their model naming and release process looks like this right now.
$20 Plus subscription give access to o1 and Deep Research (10 uses/month). I'm pretty sure general public can get access through API as well.
Right and most people are not going to spend 200$+ /mo on ChatGPT.. Maybe businesses will but at this point they have too many choices.
