OpenAI Offers Free ChatGPT Plus Trial
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is giving everyone a chance to try their premium service, ChatGPT Plus, for free for one month.
Normally, ChatGPT Plus costs Rs 1,999 per month and includes extra features like AI agents, a special video model called Sora, and the ability to have longer conversations and create more images.
People who already have the basic ChatGPT Go plan can upgrade to Plus, but those who got a free 12-month Go offer in India might not find this as useful.
The free trial is being rolled out slowly, so not everyone can see it yet.
After the free month, users will have to pay the regular subscription fee if they want to keep using Plus.
