Dec. 11 (Bloomberg) -- This morning, according to Bloomberg, theOpenAI Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar said that for its AI softwareTowardsenterpriseUsers charged thousands of dollars a monthis justified because it better represents theThe value that technology provides to the business.
In an interview, Friar responded to a story about OpenAI that had discussed$2,000 per month(Currently about 14,536 RMB)subscriptionThe report said, "I'm willing to be open to all possibilities. If this tool can support me at all times like a 'PhD-level' assistant, in many cases, such a chargeIt makes perfect sense.. "
OpenAI currently offers consumers two subscription models: a $20 per monthBasic servicesand the recently launched $200 per monthHigh-end servicesThe latter provides access to the company's state-of-the-art models. At the same time, OpenAI also provides organizations withFlat fee model based on number of users.
However, Friar mentioned that in the future, the company may turn toValue-in-use based pricing modelThe company's AI is especially geared towards business users. For example, lawyers could use AI to get "on-call assistant services" or academics could use it to drive research breakthroughs. Such pricing not only reflects the value of the product more reasonably, but also helps companies share the high cost of developing AI systems.
This potential shift in OpenAI's pricing strategy comes as it prepares to launch an AI Agent tool. The tool is reportedly capable of performing complex tasks such asBook a trip or conduct in-depth researchThis helps organizations to improve efficiency and save costs through automation.
"Without these tools, you may need toAdditional hiringGetting these jobs done. So, from a replacement cost perspective, how would you calculate that? How would we develop aReasonable and fairof the pricing system?" Friar explains.
