OpenAI puts 8x faster Codex behind a new Pro 500 plan
Ultrafast, OpenAI’s new premium speed tier, generates up to 300 tokens per second in Codex. OpenAI says that’s up to 8x faster token generation, and in the API the gain is up to 6x.
Today it runs on GPT-6 Astra in Codex, ChatGPT Work and the API, and GPT-6.1 Sol is coming soon. To get it in Codex and ChatGPT Work, you need Pro 500, a new plan with 25x the usage limits of Plus.
Pro 200 subscriptions are open again with access to Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol, which OpenAI pitches as near-Astra capability for everyday use. OpenAI also promised it won’t bring back the 5hr limit, so you can spend your weekly usage whenever you like.
Would you pay extra for the speed, or is Pro 200 enough for you?
