Why do they need to? For search, instant models are more important and fit the use case better.

Pro models are mainly for coding agent work; it doesn't necessarily make them any money.

I think they also have the problem of having given away their pro subscription to 10s or 100s of millions of students worldwide. They're tightening down on that now, and I have a feeling that this goes into them not releasing a larger model.
