OpenAI expands ChatGPT Go plan access to 16 additional countries

Source Cryptopolitan

OpenAI has broadened its ChatGPT Go plan to 16 new countries across Asia. The service package is now available in the Philippines, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, East Timor, Vietnam, Nepal, Pakistan, Laos, Cambodia, Brunei Darussalam, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.

The tech company stated that users in countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Pakistan, and the Philippines will be able to pay in their local currencies. According to the announcement, the remaining nations must pay in USD at a price of roughly $5, with the final cost varying based on local taxation.

ChatGPT Go offers more features than the free plan

1/ We’re expanding ChatGPT Go – our low-priced subscription – to 16 more countries in Asia

— Nick Turley (@nickaturley) October 9, 2025

Nick Turley, head of ChatGPT, said the plan is designed for individuals seeking to access the firm’s most popular features at a more affordable price. ChatGPT Go offers more features than the free plan, including higher daily limits for image generation, messages, and file or image uploads per day. The subscription tier also provides users with twice the memory of the free plan.

OpenAI revealed that the initiative to expand the plan comes as the company has seen its weekly active user base in Southeast Asia grow by up to four times. The firm first launched ChatGPT Go in India in August, reporting that paid subscribers in the country have doubled since its launch. The tech company also launched the subscription plan in Indonesia in September.

ChatGPT Go costs 399 rupees per month in India, while 75,000 rupiah (around $4.53) in Indonesia. The other subscription plans, ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Pro, are offered at $200 and $25 a month, respectively.

The tech firm highlighted that ChatGPT Go subscriptions aren’t currently available in the iOS app in Cambodia, Laos, and Nepal. However, users from those countries can still access subscriptions in the Web and Android apps.

OpenAI’s rival, Google, has also launched its AI chatbot subscription plans in additional regions, as both companies compete for a larger market share in the region. Google introduced its Google AI Plus plan in Indonesia in September and expanded the subscription plan to more than 40 countries.

OpenAI introduces apps in ChatGPT

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed at the company’s DevDay 2025 conference this week in San Francisco that ChatGPT had surpassed 800 million weekly active users globally, up from 700 million in August. The tech firm also introduced apps integrated into ChatGPT, transforming the chatbot into an ecosystem similar to an app store.

The AI company stated that its pilot partners, including Canva, Coursera, Booking.com, Figma, Expedia, Spotify, and Zillow, will be available, with additional pilot partners set to launch later this year. OpenAI also hopes to bring apps to its EU users soon.

“The evolution we’re trying to make over the next few years is one where ChatGPT itself is more like an operating system where you can come and use applications. If you want to write, there’s an app for that. If you want to code, there’s an app for that. If you want to interact with goods and services, there are applications for you.”

-Nick Tuley, Head of ChatGPT

The firm mentioned that it will launch apps to ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Edu later this year. OpenAI also plans to open submissions for developers to publish their apps in ChatGPT and establish a directory where users can browse and search for them.

OpenAI reported that its chatbot has experienced rapid global growth since its launch in late 2022. The firm noted that ChatGPT’s adoption growth rate in the lowest-income countries was four times that in the highest-income countries by May 2025.

Despite the company’s growth and recent $500 billion valuation, it reported an operating loss of $7.8 billion in the first half of 2025. OpenAI has doubled down its spending on AI infrastructure as it partnered with Nvidia to build data centers in a $100 billion deal.

Nvidia slid 7.7% after hours while AMD and Broadcom rose — the AI trade changed hands, it didn't break Nvidia closed Wednesday at 173.73, up 2.87%, then fell as much as 8.1% to 159.44 after reports that its board was preparing for a possible leadership change. The same session, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 5.7% with all 30 components higher, CoreWeave jumped 24.7% on 168% revenue growth, and Micron added 11.9%. If AI demand were being repriced, AMD and Broadcom would not be bid. This is a governance discount on one name, and 204.54 — the 200-day average — is the level that settles it.

Gold hit a one-year low while central banks bought 321 tonnes — the sellers were never the ones you think Spot gold closed at 3,876 on Thursday, down 2.8% and its lowest close in more than a year, with an intraday low near 3,852. The dollar is at a 19-month high of 103.21 and the 10-year yield is at 5.10%, so the price move is easy to explain. What is harder to explain is who sold: central banks bought 321 tonnes in Q3, the PBoC added for a 24th straight month, ETF holdings are near a record 4,256 tonnes, and roughly 95% of the futures selling came from non-reportable and sovereign-type accounts rather than hedge funds. This piece separates the two books that have to balance.

Brent rose 3.3% and US crude stocks built 4.66 million barrels in the same week Brent January settled at 95.82, up 3.3%, and WTI at 88.74, up 2.55%, after the US signalled it would not pursue a deal with Iran and attacks on Gulf shipping continued. In the same week, EIA data showed US crude inventories rising 4.657 million barrels against expectations of a 1.1 million draw, with gasoline up another 1.799 million. OPEC output also rebounded 1.96 million barrels a day to 27.16 million in October, led by Saudi Arabia at 10.56 million. This piece separates the geopolitical premium from the physical balance and lays out where each side of the trade is anchored.
