OpenAI has just unleashed a game-changer: GPT-4o, the turbocharged successor to the ChatGPT-4 model that fuels their flagship, ChatGPT. Think faster processing, like lightning-fast responses that rival human conversation, and amplified capabilities across text, vision, and even audio. It’s a true multimodal marvel.
But here’s the kicker: it’s free for everyone!
Yes, you heard that right. OpenAI is democratizing this cutting-edge tech, while still offering premium perks for paying users, like increased capacity. And if you’re an OpenAI API aficionado, you’re in luck – GPT-4o is ready and waiting within the Chat Completions API, Assistants API, or Batch API. It even plays nicely with functions, JSON mode, and the Playground.
Now, let’s talk access. Right off the bat, GPT-4o is making its grand entrance in ChatGPT (for all user tiers) and the API, showcasing its prowess in both text and vision domains.
Free users are automatically bumped up to this new model, though fair usage might apply depending on demand.
If you are still using the free version (Which only has 3.5 Turbo) this model will be applied automatically to all your chats.
While some fancy features like hardcore data analysis and file uploads are reserved for the paid subscribers, everyone gets to enjoy GPT-4o’s exceptional vision capabilities, which means even your uploaded photos get an accuracy boost.
If you’re a ChatGPT Plus or Team subscriber, you’re in for a treat. You get to use both GPT-4 and GPT-4o on chatgpt.com, with the added bonus of a higher usage limit. And starting May 13th, 2024, ChatGPT-4o Plus users can fire off up to 80 messages every 3 hours, double that of ChatGPT-4 Plus users. Just remember, those unused messages won’t roll over – use ’em or lose ’em!
API enthusiasts who have invested at least $5 can also harness the power of GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, and the illustrious GPT-4o through the OpenAI API.
In a nutshell, GPT-4o isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a quantum leap in AI capabilities. With blazing speed, expanded modalities, and unprecedented accessibility, it’s ushering in a new era of AI interaction for both casual users and seasoned developers alike.
