This might mean GPT-5 is coming soon and it will only be available to paid users...

I'm actually thinking that the GPT store with more users might be better for them

From my casual conversations, not that many people are paying for GPT4 or know why they should. Every conversation even in enthusiast forums like this one has to be interjected with "wait, are you using GPT4? because GPT3.5 the free one is pretty nerfed"

just nuking that friction from orbit and expanding the GPT store volume could be a positive for them

Or they just made a bunch of money on their licensing deal with Apple. So they don't need to charge for ChatGPT anymore.

If it's going to be available via Siri this could make sense.

It does make me wonder how such a relationship could impact progress. Would OpenAI feel limited from advancing in directions that don't align with the partnership? For example if they suddenly release a model better than what's in Siri, making Siri look bad.
