OpenAI has introduced o1-pro, a new reasoning model the company says delivers its best performance yet on complex problem-solving tasks. In benchmark testing, o1-pro outperformed the standard o1 model on challenging evaluations including AIME math, where it scored 93% versus 79%, and GPQA science, where it reached 84% compared with 74% for o1. The results position o1-pro as a more capable option for users who need deeper analytical performance across technical domains.
The model is being offered through ChatGPT Pro at a price of $200 per month, signaling that OpenAI is targeting professionals and enterprise customers rather than casual users. The premium pricing reflects the model’s focus on advanced reasoning, where accuracy and consistency can matter more than speed or cost.
The launch comes as competition intensifies among leading AI developers racing to build frontier models with stronger reasoning abilities. It also arrives amid continuing debate over safety, reliability, and how powerful systems should be deployed. With o1-pro, OpenAI is betting that demand for higher-end AI tools will continue to grow among organizations seeking better support for complex scientific, mathematical, and strategic work.
