OpenAI says it plans to introduce a new subscription tier for ChatGPT, its viral AI-powered chatbot, tailored to the needs of enterprise customers.

Called ChatGPT Business, OpenAI describes the upcoming offering as “for professionals who need more control over their data, as well as enterprises who want to manage their end users.”

“ChatGPT Business follows our API data usage policies, which means end users’ data is not used to train our models by default,” he wrote in a blog post published today. “We plan to make ChatGPT commercially available in the coming months.”

OpenAI previously stated in the Telegraph that it is exploring additional paid plans for ChatGPT as the service grows exponentially. (The first subscription tier, ChatGPT Plus, launched in February, costs $20 a month.) According to one source, ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly active users in January, just two months after its launch—making it the fastest-growing in history. Consumer application.

Despite the controversies and numerous bans, ChatGPT proved to be an official winner for OpenAI, garnering mainstream media attention and generating countless memes on social media. But it is a very expensive service. According to Sam Altman, founder and CEO of OpenAI, Chat’s GPT operating costs are “eye-watering,” accounting for just a few cents of Chat’s total computing costs.

Beyond ChatGPT Business, OpenAI today announced a new feature that allows all ChatGPT users to delete their chat history. Conversations that start when chat history is disabled aren’t used to train and improve OpenAI models and don’t appear in the history sidebar, OpenAI says, but remain for 30 days and are “reviewed when necessary to track abuse.” “

ChatGPT data can be exported starting today. Users can request a file to be sent to the email address associated with their OpenAI account.

The new capabilities come as regulatory oversight grows over OpenAI’s data practices. Italy last month banned ChatGPIT for privacy violations, alleging that OpenAI illegally processed people’s data and implemented a system to prevent minors from accessing ChatGPIT. France and Spain, as well as Germany, have begun investigating ChatGPT with a focus on compliance with ChatGPT.
