ChatGPT Go Asia Expansion

OpenAI is extending its ChatGPT Go subscription to 16 additional countries in Asia. The plan, priced at $5 (USD) per month, offers users in these regions access to GPT-5, expanded messaging and uploads, faster image creation, longer memory, and custom GPTs. This expansion aims to provide affordable access to AI tools, supporting digital skill development and wider AI adoption among students, creators, and small businesses. The number of weekly active ChatGPT users in Malaysia has increased significantly over the past year, demonstrating growing interest in AI for everyday use.

ChatGPT Go provides extended access to popular features, including more GPT-5 messages, multimodal tools like image generation and file uploads, and longer memory. This differs from ChatGPT Plus, which is designed for advanced users and includes expanded access to thinking and legacy models, advanced tools like deep research and Sora video creation. The Go plan includes higher usage limits than the free plan for core chat and tools, with limits varying based on system conditions.
