The Register · Thomas Claburn · last updated

OpenAI on Tuesday rolled out its o3-Pro model for ChatGPT Pro and Teams subscribers, slashed o3 pricing by 80 percent, and dropped a blog post from CEO Sam Altman teasing “intelligence too cheap to meter.”

“The average query uses about 0.34 watt-hours, about what an oven would use in a little over one second, or a high-efficiency light bulb would use in a couple of minutes. It also uses about 0.000085 gallons of water; roughly one fifteenth of a teaspoon,” Altman said in a post.
