Premium seats are coming to ChatGPT Business

TL;DR - OpenAI is introducing "premium seats" as a higher-tier option within ChatGPT Business, aimed at teams whose workloads exceed standard seat usage limits. It matters as a signal of continued tiering/monetization of enterprise LLM access around compute-heavy usage.

• Announcement is a commercial/packaging change to ChatGPT Business, not a model or capability release; no technical details on models, context limits, or rate limits are given.
• Premium seats are positioned to "unlock higher usage" for demanding work, implying per-seat usage caps in the standard tier and a paid path to raise them.
• A promotional incentive is attached: sign up by August 20 to receive $100 in workspace credits, suggesting credit-based consumption alongside seat licensing.
• Content is thin (essentially a teaser blurb): pricing, availability dates, and the exact quota deltas are not disclosed in the provided text.
