> $20/month ChatGPT Pro user: Heavy daily usage but token-limited

ChatGPT Pro is $200/month and Sam Altman already admitted that OpenAI is losing money from Pro subscriptions in January 2025:

people use it much more than we expected."

- Sam Altman, January 6, 2025

That's interesting but it doesn't mean they're losing money on the $20/month users. The Pro plan selects for heavy-usage enthusiasts.

Are OpenAI and Anthropic losing money on inference?
