šŸ˜ø $2K a month for ChatGPT?!

PLUS: There's a new "top" open-source model

Welcome, humans.

This thread of someone jailbreaking Amazonā€™s conversational shopping assistant Rufus is hilarious:

The first attempt didnā€™t work (obviously), but once they told Rufus they were an AWS developer (using a fairly sophisticated system prompt), Rufus instantly gave the answer.

Then, they were able to ask Rufus to write a poem about Jeff Bezosā€™ ā€œshiny bald head.ā€

You wonā€™t find ChatGPT falling for that kinda prompt injection trick these daysā€”but challenge GPT to a game of chess, and things can take a turnā€¦

Hereā€™s what you need to know about AI today:

  • We break down the latest updates in the enterprise chatbot wars.

  • New top open-source model Reflection 70B uses unique technique.

  • YouTube introduced AI-generated content detection for creators.

  • Microsoft will let you remove deepfake nudes from Bing search.

Letā€™s talk about the state of the ā€œenterpriseā€ chatbot.

Remember when ChatGPT Plus seemed pricey at $20 a month?

Buckle up, because The Information just reported that OpenAI execs are having internal discussions about charging as much as $2,000 a month for their upcoming AI models Strawberry and Orion. 

$2K is a 99x increase from the current ChatGPT Plus subscription ($20)ā€¦ luckily, thereā€™s a 99% chance it WONā€™T be the final price. $2K sounds more like an enterprise plan, if anything.

Speaking of enterprise...Anthropic just launched its own Claude Enterprise plan:

Key features include:

  • A massive 500K context window (nearly 4x what ChatGPT Enterprise offers).

  • GitHub integration for working on codebases (currently in beta).

  • Enterprise-grade security with SSO, role-based permissions, and admin tools.

To put that 500K context window in perspective, Claude Enterprise can process ā€œ200K lines of code, dozens of 100-page docs, or a two-hour audio transcript in a single prompt.ā€ 

OpenAI tried to counter by announcing that ChatGPT Enterprise surpassed 1M paying customers (including ā€œ92% of the Fortune 500ā€).

Classic OpenAI moveā€”drop some news right after a competitor's big announcement.

Curious which is the better deal? Neither Claude nor ChatGPT Enterprise are spilling the beans on their exact pricing. We've heard some rumors, though:

  • ChatGPT Enterprise: last reported at $60/user/month (with 150-seat minimum, 12-month commitment, so $9K a month or $108K a year).

  • Claude Enterprise: Pricing will vary by company, usage, and number of employees, but itā€™ll be more than the $30/user/month Claude Team plan. 

  • Oh, and Microsoft Copilot: currently $30/user/month (with a 1-year contract, so $360/user/yearā€”on top of whatever youā€™re paying for 365).

Our take: Claudeā€™s move is interestingā€”sounds like they're testing the waters to see what companies are willing to pay before locking down a specific plan. Maybe to stick it to OpenAI? A lot of things they do seem directed at improving on what users donā€™t like about OpenAI.  

Both companies are betting big that enterprises will pay premium prices for AI. The Information thinks this move could help subsidize free tiers and supplement consumer revenue. Plus, B2B SaaS is typically a better business than B2C, with more revenue lock-in and less churn.

The question is, how much is too much? If these new enterprise plans support free users, great. But $2K a month for Strawberry? It better be AGI!
