A new high-tier membership for ChatGPT is in development to support users performing long-running computational tasks. This offering, referred to as Pro Max, is reported to cost $500 per month and targets power users who require extended autonomous operation beyond the capabilities of current plans.

OpenAI hosts its DevDay event next week, which is the likely venue for the official announcement of the plan's rates and features. The company has spent several months investigating methods to optimize the assistant for complex, duration-heavy workflows.
