The $20,000/month claims seems to originate from that atrocious The Information article, which threw together a bunch of unrelated sentences at the end to create the (false) impression that o3 and o4-mini are innovator-agents which will become available for $20,000/month this week. In actuality, the sentences “OpenAI believes it can charge $20,000 per month for doctorate-level AI”, “new AI aims to resemble inventors”, and “OpenAI is preparing to launch [o3 and o4-mini] this week” are separately true, but have nothing to do with each other.
Already available for $20/month.
