A leaked investor deck suggests OpenAI plans to charge up to $20,000 monthly for its most advanced AI agents. Lower-tier agents focused on knowledge work and software development would cost between $2,000 and $10,000. The AI community is debating whether these prices make sense, how they compare to human labor costs, and whether competition will push them down.
