All blog posts →Introducing the Guru Plan: More Room for Serious Research
The new Guru Plan gives PaperGuru users a renewable weekly quota for the Guru model series, including Guru Pro 1.2 and the new Guru Turbo 1.0 Preview.
By PaperGuru Team · July 22, 2026
Research rarely moves in a straight line. A promising question turns into a literature search, then a revised hypothesis, a methodology draft, an analysis script, a reviewer-style critique, and another round of writing. The most demanding projects need a model that can stay useful across that whole arc, not only answer one difficult prompt.
Today, we are introducing the Guru Plan, a new PaperGuru subscription built for sustained use of the Guru model series. Instead of purchasing usage only through individual credit packs, subscribers receive a dedicated weekly Guru quota that renews throughout the subscription.
The Guru Plan gives access to Guru Pro 1.2. We are also releasing Guru Turbo 1.0 Preview in PaperGuru, giving subscribers an early opportunity to use the model as we continue improving its capabilities and stability.
A Model Built for the Research Loop
The Guru model family is developed by AutoTrust for long-horizon scientific-agent work. The family is trained around the kinds of multi-stage trajectories that research agents actually follow: retrieving literature, working with tools, testing an idea, drafting technical material, and reviewing the result.
Guru Pro 1.2 is the research-grade foundation of the Guru Plan. Its post-training uses agentic research trajectories and tool-call distillation data, with an emphasis on maintaining consistency across long workflows. The model is designed to keep notation, claims, citations, intermediate findings, and tool activity aligned as a project develops from an open question toward a complete manuscript.
The underlying model supports a context window of up to one million tokens. More importantly for PaperGuru, it is trained for the behavior that long context is meant to support: disciplined tool use, citation-grounded synthesis, technical writing, productive self-revision, and reviewer-style critique.
That makes Guru Pro 1.2 a strong fit for work such as:
- Synthesizing a large body of literature without losing the central research question
- Developing and revising a methodology across several rounds of evidence
- Moving between code-mediated analysis and the paper that explains it
- Reviewing a full draft for consistency between claims, results, notation, and citations
- Sustaining a long research session where earlier decisions still matter many steps later
Guru Pro 1.2 remains a research assistant, not a source of authoritative scientific truth. Important claims, analyses, and conclusions still require expert human verification before publication or downstream use. The full Guru Pro 1.2 model card documents its architecture, intended use, evaluation, and limitations in more detail.
Three Plans for Different Research Rhythms
Compared with using Credits from credit packs, a Guru Plan gives you substantially more usage for the Guru model series, subject to a weekly usage quota. Different Guru plans include different amounts of usage, so you can choose a tier that fits the scale and frequency of your research.
The Guru Plan is available in three tiers. Every tier provides access to Guru Pro 1.2 and Guru Turbo 1.0 Preview; the difference is how much weekly usage it includes and the level of support around it.
Guru 20 is best for focused research projects. It offers up to 2.5 times more usage than credit packs and includes standard technical support.
Guru 100 is built for regular research and writing. It includes six times the usage of Guru 20 and priority technical support.
Guru 200 is designed for intensive research workflows. It includes up to fifteen times the usage of Guru 20 and premium technical support.
All three tiers are available with monthly or annual billing. Annual subscriptions include the same weekly usage behavior, while offering a lower effective monthly price. Current pricing and availability are always shown on the Guru Plan page.
A Weekly Quota That Is Easy to Track
Guru usage is tracked separately from your general PaperGuru Credits. In the Credits menu, you can see the percentage of your weekly Guru quota that remains and when it will reset. The same information is available on the Guru Plan page and in Status and Billing.
The quota renews on a continuous weekly schedule. Changing from monthly to annual billing does not restart that schedule or grant an extra weekly quota. If you upgrade to a higher tier, PaperGuru keeps the usage already recorded for the current week and makes the additional quota available. If you schedule a move to a lower tier, the change takes effect at the next billing cycle without erasing usage already recorded in the current week.
You can also choose what PaperGuru should do when the weekly Guru quota runs out:
- Use Credits to continue working with Guru models against your regular balance
- Pause Guru requests until the next weekly reset
This setting can be changed from the Guru Plan page without interrupting the rest of your subscription management.
Guru Turbo 1.0 Is Now Available in Preview
Guru Turbo 1.0 Preview is AutoTrust's flagship preview model, designed for maximum depth and autonomy across coding, reasoning, vision, and scientific-agent workloads.
We are releasing Guru Turbo 1.0 in PaperGuru as a preview, and it is now available from the model selection list. Preview access lets researchers start exploring the model while we iterate on its capabilities and stability. Its behavior and performance may evolve as we learn from real-world use and continue evaluating and improving the model.

Getting Started
Open Profile → Guru Plan, or go directly to the Guru Plan page. Choose Guru 20, Guru 100, or Guru 200, select monthly or annual billing, and complete checkout. Your weekly Guru quota will appear in PaperGuru once the subscription is active.
Existing subscribers can manage billing, schedule a plan change, or cancel renewal from the same page. Changes scheduled for the next billing cycle remain visible there, along with the option to undo them before they take effect.
The Guru Plan is available now with Guru Pro 1.2 and Guru Turbo 1.0 Preview. It is our first step toward making AutoTrust's research-focused model family a deeper part of the PaperGuru workflow: more sustained usage, clearer limits, and models built for the long path from question to manuscript.
Try it from the Guru Plan page, and let us know how the Guru models change the way you approach longer research projects.
