Sam Altman tweets delay to ChatGPT-4.5 launch while also proposing a shocking new payment structure

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a delay in the rollout of ChatGPT-4.5, which will now be staggered for Plus subscribers instead of a simultaneous launch. This new version is expected to be the most advanced iteration of the ChatGPT chatbot yet, having already launched for Pro users. The staggered release aims to prevent server overload and ensure a smoother user experience.

In addition to the delay, Altman proposed a new credit-based payment system for ChatGPT Plus subscribers, suggesting that the $20 monthly fee may not guarantee unrestricted access. Instead, users would receive tokens to spend on various features, which has sparked mixed reactions from the community. While some users appreciate the flexibility, others express concerns about the potential for micromanagement and reduced engagement with the AI.
