ChatGPT Business Premium Seats Debut

OpenAI is ramping up its enterprise game, launching Premium seats for ChatGPT Business at $125 per user per month, promising five times more capacity and smarter admin tools. It’s a bold move to expand average revenue per user, but the real test is whether teams that routinely hit usage caps see enough value to justify the higher price tag. At the same time, OpenAI is filling a big gap for developers with a new Linux desktop app and seeding education workflows that could put ChatGPT at the heart of public-sector paperwork.

But here’s the catch: progress on cutting-edge features is hitting safety and legal speed bumps. The company has paused work on the Astra model after internal tests flagged potential cybersecurity risks, and all frontier automation will now roll out in tightly controlled stages. Add to that a high-profile legal fight with Apple, fresh hardware rumors, and the exit of key executive Brad Lightcap just as OpenAI eyes a possible $1 trillion IPO. With rival Anthropic’s own IPO on the horizon, the question is whether OpenAI can lock in predictable revenue from power users before the next wave of benchmarks shifts.
