OpenAI has significantly expanded access to its advanced O1 language models, offering enhanced capabilities to a broader range of ChatGPT users. This move marks a notable step in democratizing access to cutting-edge AI technology.
Increased Limits for Plus and Teams Users
In response to high user interest, OpenAI has substantially increased usage limits for ChatGPT Plus and Teams subscribers:
- O1-mini: Limit increased from 50 messages per week to 50 per day
- O1-preview: Limit raised from 30 messages per week to 50 per week
These expanded limits provide subscribers with more opportunities to leverage the advanced reasoning capabilities of the O1 models.
Access for Enterprise, Education, and Free Users
OpenAI has begun rolling out access to both O1 models for ChatGPT Enterprise and Education users. Additionally, free users now have limited access to the O1-mini model, although specific usage limits for this tier have not been disclosed.
Capabilities and Use Cases
The O1 models offer improved performance in complex tasks, particularly in areas such as:
- Advanced coding and debugging
- Detailed query processing
- Thorough responses to complex prompts
While O1 models excel in these areas, they currently lack internet browsing and media upload capabilities, making GPT-4 still preferable for certain general requests.

Subscription Details
Access to O1 models is tiered based on subscription level:
- ChatGPT Plus: $20 per month
- Enterprise and Education: Custom pricing (contact sales)
- Free: Limited access to O1-mini
For professionals relying heavily on AI for coding or complex reasoning tasks, the expanded access to O1 models could provide significant value, potentially justifying the subscription cost.
As AI technology continues to advance rapidly, OpenAI's move to broaden access to its most capable models reflects the growing importance of AI tools in various professional and educational contexts. Users across different tiers now have the opportunity to explore and benefit from these cutting-edge AI capabilities.
