To count as part of this wave of "compute-intensive offerings", I will wait until the next obviously-power-hungry service comes out, and then start a metaphorical timer for about a month, which resets whenever a new obviously-power-hungry service comes out. When the timer hits 0, I will close the market. I won't be following this timer strictly, I will be resolving subjectively. So small delays would not make this market close, but large delays could.
I will use my best judgment here, but I want to do this subjectively.

@MingCat GPT-5 Pro is now available in the API as well. Given these numbers, looks like you can technically hit $32.64 on one prompt, but should this count as a new offering? It's just been made available in the API, right?
Do we think pulse is one of them? It seems potentially compute heavy if it’s doing essentially multiple calls to the “deep research” mode for everyone signed up every day indefinitely?
@JasonQ imo the pulse features appear to be part of (and perhaps all of?) what the tweet was referring to. c.f. https://techcrunch.com/2025/09/25/openai-launches-chatgpt-pulse-to-proactively-write-you-morning-briefs/
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said earlier this week that some of ChatGPT’s new “compute-intensive” products would be limited to the company’s most expensive subscription plan — which is the case for Pulse.

The company says it would like to launch Pulse to all ChatGPT users in the future, with Plus subscribers to get access soon, but it first needs to make the product more efficient.

It remains to be seen if Pulse is worth the computational power it requires to work. Fry [OpenAI Product Lead] says the service can “vary tremendously” in how much computing power it spends on a given task — for some projects, it’s fairly efficient, but others may require searching the web and synthesizing lots of documents.
