Despite reaching a milestone, OpenAI faces significant operational costs and considers higher subscription fees.

OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise and Team services have over one million paid users combined.
The company is contemplating subscription fees up to $2,000 per month for advanced models like Strawberry and Orion.
OpenAI's operational costs are projected to reach $8.5 billion this year, far exceeding its revenue from subscriptions.
Over 90% of business users report increased productivity, with notable improvements in creativity and innovation.
More than half of OpenAI's paid users are based outside the U.S., with Germany, Japan, and the UK leading.
