Unless you’re a power user, it can be hard to justify the $20 a month cost of a paid ChatGPT subscription. But those free usage limits can be really annoying. OpenAI does offer a lower-cost subscription called ChatGPT Go, though it’s not available here in the United States.
However, OpenAI is further expanding its ChatGPT Go offering. Late Monday evening, OpenAI’s vice president and head of ChatGPT Nick Turley announced that ChatGPT Go is now rolling out in Indonesia, providing users there with “10× higher message limits, 10× more image generations, 10× more file uploads, and double the memory compared to our free plan.”
The price for ChatGPT Go in Indonesia? About $4.50 USD.

What is ChatGPT Go?
Over the summer, OpenAI announced a new ChatGPT subscription tier with ChatGPT Go. The plan launched in mid-August and, so far, has only been made available in India (and now Indonesia). The pricing works out to roughly $4.50 per month.
ChatGPT Go is priced much lower than the cheapest paid plan available in the U.S., which is the $20 per month ChatGPT Plus subscription tier.
Why did OpenAI launch ChatGPT Go?
The existence of the ChatGPT Go plan is significant. It shows that OpenAI wants to continue to provide access to users in countries where the higher price would be a barrier to entry for most people. While OpenAI says that “Other countries and regions may be eligible in the future,” at this time, it’s only available in India and Indonesia.
What’s included with ChatGPT Go?
The low-cost plan offers all the benefits of a free subscription, plus some additional perks, according to OpenAI documentation:
Mashable Light Speed
-
More access to GPT-5
-
More image generation
-
More file uploads
-
Advanced data analysis with tools like Python
-
Longer memory and bigger context windows
-
The ability to create and edit custom GPTs
OpenAI also notes that API access is not included.
Is ChatGPT Go coming to the United States?
Sadly, there’s no indication that OpenAI has any plans to make ChatGPT Go available to American users. While we would love to see OpenAI roll out a $5 plan, we don’t think that’s likely. However, if you’re a student in the United States or Canada, you may be eligible for a reduced-price Plus membership. Students can learn more at OpenAI’s website.
Is OpenAI going to raise ChatGPT prices?
Unfortunately, it could.
Earlier this week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced new yet unspecified “compute-intensive offerings.” According to Altman, “because of the associated costs, some features will initially only be available to Pro subscribers.” ChatGPT Pro is OpenAI’s whopping $200 per month subscription tier for its AI chatbot.

Furthermore, Altman said that “some new products will have additional fees” on top of the existing subscription costs.
As technology writer Ed Zitron reports, AI has been a money-losing endeavor for many tech companies so far. The easiest way to solve that issue appears to be simply raising prices.
However, it appears OpenAI doesn’t want to lose market share in developing nations, which is where ChatGPT Go could fit in.
Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

![‘House of the Dragon’ Season 3 Will Bring the Equivalent of Nuclear War to Westeros
We’re just a few weeks away from the return of House of the Dragon, and all signs point to the bloodiest, most destruction-heavy season yet. The marketing thus far has screamed “war” and “agony“; the show’s co-creator and showrunner, Ryan Condal, has promised “arguably the craziest episode of television ever” with the season-opening Battle of the Gullet. At the recent ATX TV Festival, he again emphasized how wild the Dance of the Dragons is going to get, going so far as to use nuclear war as a comparison. As reported by Deadline, Condal spoke about how many practical effects are involved in the first episode of season three, which will vividly bring the seafaring excitement to life. However, there’s another element to Westeros warfare of this period that goes well beyond ships firing on each other: those Targaryen dragons blazing at each other in the sky. “There is a lot of dragon action,” Condal teased. “There are new ones that we haven’t really spent any time with at all that you’ll be very excited to see, and some old favorites come back in and get lots of exciting screen time and action.”
When dragons are involved, that raises the stakes to a new level, which Condal used the language of nuclear war to describe: “mutually assured destruction.” It’s something we didn’t see in Game of Thrones, which did have some dragons in play, of course, but not on the level of the battle-ready beasts that populate House of the Dragon.
“I think the thing this show contends with that the original Game of Thrones did not contend with, at least until the very end, is this idea of there are nuclear weapons in play, and there are nuclear weapons in play on both sides,” he explained. “So really you have this classic Cold War standoff of mutually assured destruction. Of course, the characters in the show would not have those words, but we as a modern audience that can see that [do].” In season two, as the Dance of the Dragons was getting underway, “Nobody wants to make the big move that is going to break down the wrath of [the dragon] Vhagar or Daemon, because they realize that if it goes too far, you could just have ash left over,” Condal said. “But, of course, that builds and builds and builds, and at some point the cork comes off the champagne bottle, and that’s where we begin here in season three.”
Spoiler alert: Westeros itself does survive, since it’s still around for Game of Thrones several generations later. But we can assume a lot of castles and landscape and people and dragons won’t be making it through this clash of Targaryens. House of the Dragon season three begins June 21 on HBO.
