According to BleepingComputer, OpenAI appears to be preparing a ChatGPT Pro Max subscription that could cost $500 per month. The report says it's unclear when the plan will begin rolling out, and the only feature mentioned is a faster Codex.
For a Security & Privacy section, the notable point is what the report does not say. There is no mention of data handling, encryption, access controls, or compliance measures for this tier. The source is solely about pricing and product positioning, not about security or privacy.
Until OpenAI provides more details, any security or privacy implications of the Pro Max plan remain speculative. The report itself offers no basis for assessing whether the higher price includes additional protections or governance features.
