OpenAI is introducing a paid option for Sora users to generate more AI videos per day, moving away from the current free limit of 30, due to unsustainable economics, with plans to eventually reduce free quotas and possibly offer paid character cameos.
Samsung's Galaxy S24 series features Galaxy AI, which will be free until 2025, but the company hints at the possibility of introducing paid, "more powerful" features in the future. Samsung's TM Roh suggested that while some users may be content with the free AI capabilities, others may be willing to pay for enhanced features. However, important details such as when the features will become paid, their cost, and which features will remain free remain undisclosed by Samsung.
As Google's generative AI features are currently free, it is likely that some of these features will become paid in the future due to the computational expense of running AI. The Search Generative Experience (SGE) and Bard are expected to remain free, while Magic Editor, Magic Compose, and AI wallpapers may become paid features. In Workspace, mass-market features like "Help me write" are expected to remain free, while more advanced features like table creation and data organization in Sheets and image generation in Slides and Meet may be locked behind a paywall. Google One is the most likely platform for premium AI features.
