What is ChatGPT-4o?

ChatGPT-4o is a flagship model, and is multimodal that can accept text or image inputs and output text. One of the biggest breakthroughs is that GPT-4o can answer and understand and answer through voice, text, and visual modes.
How to Access GPT-4o for Free (3 Easy Ways)
There are a few ways to access GPT 4o for free, and I’ve found 3 easiest ways for you to try:
1. OpenAI’s Official Website
OpennAI has made ChatGPT4o, widely available for free, for now. I’ll show you how to get started.
- Step 1: Go to chat.openai.com’s website and create a free account or log in with your existing account if you’ve created one already.
- Step 2: Once logged in, you will notice that there’s an option to switch between the free and the plus versions on the top, but if you ask ChatGPT a question, you’ll notice that you have a list of options that you can toggle at the bottom of the response. It shows you’re on GPT4o by default.
- Step 3: Start chatting with GPT 4o.
What Functions Can I Use as a Free User?
According to OpenAI’s official website, when using GPT-4o, ChatGPT Free users will now have access to features such as:
- Experience GPT-4 level intelligence
- Get responses(opens in a new window) from both the model and the web
- Analyze data(opens in a new window) and create charts
- Chat about photos you take
- Upload files(opens in a new window) for assistance summarizing, writing or analyzing
- Discover and use GPTs and the GPT Store
- Build a more helpful experience with Memory
So if you’re a paid user, you might be wondering, “Why should I continue subscribing to the paid version?” With the paid version, you have access to all of the ChatGPT models and you can use more functions including creating images with DALL-E 3.
In addition, there will be a limit on the number of messages that free users can send with GPT-4o depending on usage and demand. When the limit is reached, ChatGPT will automatically switch to GPT-3.5 so users can continue their conversations.
If you only want to test out GPT 4o or use it occasionally, you don’t need to pay for a subscription at this point. Just stick with the free version. But if you want to use it more frequently with more usage, check out our next option.
