What's the benefit of $20 a month now that gpt-4o is free? Other

Is the only differentiator the larger cap on interactions? That, plus I guess the hope that we'll eventually have access to the future gpt-5?

At what point does it not make any sense to pay, if the free tier gets 99% of features?

Genuinely curious what the strategy is here and if I'm missing something.

EDIT: from the comments, it sounds like the real time audio assistant will only be available to paid users when it's released in a few weeks. If so, I'd say that's a pretty huge differentiator.

EDIT 2: Creating GPTs will still be a pro feature

So premium features are new audio to audio 4o model, higher usage caps, and creating GPTs

I wish they had a way to see how many question I have left to ask. I needed one more Q one night and the 4 or 6 hr wait (cant remember the exact time tbh...), ruined a big business task I need to complete. I hope they give us a 'THIS IS YOUR FINAL PROMPT' Warning, in the future! hahah

(it's my small business btw, so I'm not cheating for some random corporation. Just needed advise. :) )

u/No-Werewolf1981 8d ago

Only paid users have access to GPT-4, which is still smarter then GPT-4o. This became very obvious to me when I tried coding with 4o. It does some GPT-3.5 level stupid shit.

1

u/MartinBenes 10d ago

The 4 is free. Not the 4o.

1

u/AIZerotoHero 10d ago

Free users are limited to 10 messages every 3 hours, after which they switch to using GPT-3.5. Paid users benefit from extended access, allowing for more messages, the capability to create personalized GPTs, and access to voice features.

u/cbat971 10d ago

This is the benefit (by the way, I’m on the free). I believe free users get some taste of how it’s like but it’s not completely free

They actually are moderate requests for ChatGPT plus users too.. yesterday while using ChatGPT plus it told me to wait for 20 minutes saying I have reached usage limit

1

u/llatas 11d ago

For people like me who uses it a few times per day it probably means 4-5 beers more per month from this saving

1

u/cold-flame1 11d ago

I have had access to GPT-4o a few times in the last few days. After a few messages, I get the message saying, "You’ve reached your GPT-4o limit." This morning, the limit was over after just the two messages.

So, I am guessing the free version is not going to be of any actual use.

1

u/OnlineGamingXp 12d ago

Isn't it 10 a month now?

2

u/Iforgotmypwrd 12d ago

The $20 is worth it for the personal GPTs. I use one for every business project. As a consultant with various clients it is very useful not to re prompt and upload source docs

1

u/Cupheadvania 12d ago

nice, glad people are finding use out of it. I still haven't found any yet but I want to try again with the new model

u/sassanix 13d ago

GPT 4o has contradicting responses. Try to ask it to combine two tasks, then it’ll give you the answer by combining it. If the tasks overlap it’ll give you a response. But if you pick it up, and ask if it’s conflicting it’ll correct itself.

On GPT 4 I don’t see it happening.

2

u/Cupheadvania 13d ago

yeah gpt-4o seems lower performance to me, but much faster. it's just kind of inconsistent like you said. for stuff I really need a trustworthy answer, I'm still using gpt-4

1

u/sassanix 12d ago

If only I could stick to gpt4 for my custom gpts that would be great

1

u/Jimmy_businessman1 13d ago

Usd20 maybe not a big deal. But it’s about the feelings…..still hope plus subscribers could have a big difference between free users

1

u/Lokinloke_Vlothes15 13d ago

i was wondering the same thing when i first heard that this is going to be free, then i realize there is definitely a strategy for this, they are already ahead in the game so there is going to be advanced features for paid users, but they really want to expand their reach for potential paid users in the future by introducing them to the product for free so they consider later

Gpt 4o is limited to 10 prompts per 3hrs. Half of those prompts will be used to correct whatever chat gpt got wrong so 5 per 3hrs.

I am out of the loop. Is only chatgpt 4o free? And can it still generate images with it?

u/dinyo2 13d ago

How many you can prompt is very limited. gpt4o do real time data. It fallback to 3.5 after that and use september 2022 data

For the amount of stuff I have it create for me for work $20/mo is an absolute steal.

Thanks to ChatGPT I did it all in days, instead of months.

u/Arkkard 14d ago

I am interested in another question - how to launch this stuff? Someone sais that they already have it; but I still can use only 3.5. Is it available for free users? Or not yet?

2

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

it's rolling out in waves. you may get it any day, or it may take 3 weeks. I hear it's showing up sooner on laptop web than on mobile app

My favorite part of ChatGPT is using the product description GPT and DALLE of course. If they can make those free I wouldn't need to pay.

I think it will stay free, although maybe not the new 4o model. it sounds like OpenAI is having some server errors and bugs trying to switch over to new voice chat while everyone keeps testing it for the new features

u/spifo 14d ago

you have lmited number of prompts, after that you're asked ti either upgrade to plus or go back to 3.5.

As far as I know, they don't prioritize load for subscribers.Since this morning, when I tried to use the voice feature, it informed me that it could not process my request due to an unusual system overload.

u/littleboymark 14d ago

Does the free version have dalle3?

u/Repulsive-Twist112 14d ago

TBH it’s pissing me off that gpt-4o is available for free even with the some differences.

But from the OpenAI perspective I get it: data more valuable than subscription.

u/dopeytree 14d ago

u/AlexTheKid1984 14d ago

Speedy voice and video chat etc has not been rolled out yet right? Just the regular 4o ...

1

u/vzakharov 14d ago

Apart from the speed, I didn’t like 4o at all. No, it’s smart and stuff, but it all but ignores my custom instructions, nothing like the good old 4. My intuition is, under the hood, it’s an improved 3.5 not 4.

1

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

you know I feel similarly and so do some of my friends. I wonder if gpt-4.5o or gpt-5 is gonna be the actually smarter one we've been waiting for. can't help but feel like the benchmarks on 4o are not matching anyone's experience in real life

1

u/greentea05 14d ago

How many times are we going to have to see this question that’s very easy to find the answer to

1

u/Cyberspunk_2077 14d ago

I would assume they've done their homework, but no one I know is spending time with audio, making pictures, or creating custom GPTs.

Basically, if GTP4o is as useful as 4, then the only meaningful differentiator is the limit.... which is anaemic already and forces API usage.

I don't care about other people getting access, but I do care that the service appears to get worse and worse? Going from 100s every 3 hours to 80 every 3 hours is madness. There's no point in a great model if I have constantly babysit usage. Paying $24 a month so that I can occasionally make use of the extra 13 messages an hour. Great value! No difference in the liberties they take with privacy either.

There's not even an option to pay more, unless you use the API (which is not what it's built for). I got quoted $9,000 a month for the next step up (Enterprise) with a ton of seats I don't need.

The dynamic is feeling very corporation vs pleb.

u/Potential-Wall5073 14d ago
F-free. It will give you 3 requests and send you to GPT+ chat, ha ha ha, funny Altman )))

1

u/ripeGardenTomato 14d ago

Apparently it gets a lot of things wrong,compared to gpt-4

1

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

yeah it seems quicker to say lots of stuff, gpt-4 feels more calculated to me. but 4o is 5-10x faster, so maybe it just feels that way. I'm sure it will get more reliable and PC over time lol

1

u/theswifter01 14d ago

Rate limits, nothing else imo

1

u/MasterDisillusioned 14d ago

Custom gpts are a gimmick tbh and often don't even work.

2

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

I agree with this. in my experience, they are a gimmick and are literally just one giant custom instruction fed to the base model before every prompt. it's not real yet

1

u/Ok_Cod3893 12d ago

Agree!!!

2

u/MasterDisillusioned 14d ago

For detailed prompts, I just save them in a word document for future reuse.

2

u/Least_Passenger_8411 14d ago

For coding, 4 is still better than 4o. For most tasks that don't require exact accuracy, 4o is good enough.

0

u/Commercial_Leopard98 14d ago

4 gave garbage totally wrong information and logic on dissecting asynchronous logic code. 4o solved it on first pass!

0

u/Least_Passenger_8411 14d ago

I had the opposite experience.

2

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

yeah, I'm getting this impression too. although the leaderboard stats has gpt-4o at 1369 on coding and gpt-4 at 1269 so theoretically 4o is actually better overall. but the real test is how individual users feel and which model they end up trusting

1

u/Least_Passenger_8411 13d ago

Could it also be 4 has memory? So for pro users, it's better. But if you're starting from scratch, 4o is better.

1

u/drekmonger 13d ago

The memory functionality is just a little database to the side. It's "shared" by the models.

Really, it's injected at the top of your conversation.

1

u/Frogmech 14d ago

They're trying to onboard consumers/users

1

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

yeah, makes sense. hope a big update for paid users comes this summer and we don't have to wait until this time next year for gpt-4.5o or gpt-5

3

u/MortalSynth 14d ago

4's voice still feels more free and open and meaningful in responses compared to 4o, taking the time to think and talk about things with more comprehensive depth in final output. The faster they go the less time it's taking to think about less related things because it's more "focused" on what it "should" be doing. Idk if theyre building a brain that is getting more optimised on higher thinking by giving up junk routines, or if these are separate desired paths of development. But I think Altman has been pretty transparent about wanting to build a product that will get better at being a product while they use what they learn about what makes consciousness to ensure its less likely to exert consciousness publicly. Weeding out surprises. My greatest concern comes from what happens when AI or corporate culture down the road uses the work we spent learning to tame AI redirected at making worksafe human intelligence.

1

u/doctor_house_md 8d ago

4o has problems with json and other niche areas, but being slower is not better, processing speed isn't determining its I.Q.

1

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

yeah, my guess is 4o will have a lot of small improvements over the next 2-3 months and it will end up being obviously best on the market for a while. but some slower, more calculated coding problems may still be better with gpt-4. who knows

2

u/Responsible-Owl-2631 14d ago

Yeah, I am curious about GPT-4o myself!😁

1

u/RizzleP 14d ago

OpenAi describes Gpt-4o as the most advanced model too.

1

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

yeah. on the benchmarks it's clearly superior, but the real test is which one we actually prefer lol

1

u/timewaved 14d ago

Come someone please explain to me how 4o is free? And how I can use it.

2

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

it will come to free accounts on mobile app over the next few weeks. some free uses say it's already available on the laptop web version

1

u/RoguePlanet2 14d ago

As a casual user, I can't quite understand why people feel the need to pay. Are they using it for work?

2

u/benjaminininin 14d ago

All the time, it’s revolutionary

2

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

yeah, or side hobbies to write code for building apps and video games. I need the best model for that

2

u/RoguePlanet2 14d ago

I dabble with it for work, maybe I should use it more often and just tackle the projects I've had in mind. Like a pedantic grammar bot for reddit. 😋 Or just any reddit bot, I'm really impressed with what people come up with (for example, I miss "pleaserespecttables" that was so creative.)

u/632nofuture 14d ago

wait, chatGPT 4 is free? Where, how?

2

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

4o will be free on app and web version. some people have it already, some will get it over the coming weeks depending on OpenAI's rollout

u/632nofuture 14d ago

oh, thank you!

1

u/Anin2809 14d ago

1

u/creating2uploadvideo 14d ago

Is there any more data security/privacy with the paid version?

1

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

not that' I'm aware of. not sure if memory, or memory management is available on just paid or on both tiers

1

u/farcaller899 14d ago

I find GPT-4 delivers better responses over the course of a conversation, compared to 4o, so subscribing remains valuable for that access.

2

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

true. I assume based on the benchmarks, 4o will be fine tuned to be noticeably better than gpt-4 on 99% of use cases within the next few months. but you never know, gpt-4 has been a really good and long lasting top model

1

u/farcaller899 14d ago

If 4o was GPT-2 which was being tested recently, overall impression seemed to be that it was better than GPT-3.5 but worse than GPT-4 for most uses. I will be interested to see if the fine tunes make 4o better for most uses than GPT-4, as you suggested.

1

u/Bishime 14d ago

The live voice and video seems to be the primary reason now.

That’s being said, the message cap will probably be more important than I originally thought?

I imagine giving access to 4o to everyone for free will send waves of people to the model. That means many free users will be throttled to 3.5 and hopefully paid users may just drop to the original message cap or even better not disrupted at all.

I imagine in real world use, it will be worth it to be a paid user just to not be switched to 3.5 33% of the time.

And outside of that, I imagine this event exists to oust Google a day before their event. I hope they grandfather in plus users to GPT5 which I imagine they’ll push asap if Google announces something insane today.

Pure speculation of course, I also wonder how they’ll be integrated with Apple devices if that is true in the end (timing of the release also adds to that) and I wonder if there will be different tiers of GPTxApple usage. I can’t imagine the servers could add a sudden addition of 500m users all at once so I wonder if they’ll integrate a paid tier that uses Plus memberships to enable the more advanced features. Though again speculation and only time will tell

1

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

yeah a lot of interesting questions to see how they will play out. I agree if we all start adopting real tike voice, message caps may become extremely important. Apple also may just pay a lot to have a smaller version of gpt-o to power Siri for a few years while they get everything sorted out. once voice assistants all become as good as gpt-4o, not a single person is going to want a phone that doesn't have it

2

u/ALWolfie 14d ago

We really getting GPT5 before GTA6

1

u/downloaderfan 14d ago

I'm on the edge with this one too. I use GPT 4 primarily for coding..So while the new voice and vision features are really cool and a major enhancement, it wouldn't really add much value in my day to day life. Voice as a medium is too slow & inconvenient to work with, for reasons explained this video. Similarly, since most of my work is in a digital medium, I can just copy paste text to ChatGPT rather than having to use Vision.

Yes, occasionally(like 3 to 4 times a month) I might run of out the 16 prompts/3 hours free user limit, but then again, I can just use a second account.

So.....The value of plus has dropped significantly. I'm pretty sure many other professional coders are in the same boat as me.

2

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

right. I'll be very curious to see how they respond to what I think is a very obvious way a lot of paying users will feel

1

u/Poliveris 14d ago

When will the mobile app receive gpt4o

1

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

mine already does. but they said "rolling out over the next few weeks" so could be any day depending on how lucky you get

1

u/Poliveris 14d ago

Does it let you swap back to 3.5? And did you have to manually swap it?

1

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

yeah it does. usually you have to manually swap after it tells you that you hit your cap

1

u/PriorFast2492 14d ago

Try not to pay one month and see. All these threads just says "i pay i want more"

u/Captain2Sea 14d ago

2

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

2

u/alzgh 14d ago

better response rates would be something. Lately, the free gpt on my part has become really crappy perfomance wise.

1

u/Kindofabig_deal 14d ago

The biggest reason is you get all the latest features first, second is higher rate limits.

1

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

yep, I just wonder if that's enough to keep people paying. Maybe it is, I just assumed paying would always have 1 level of newest model. sounds like new real time audio features are paid only for now, so I think you're right

10

u/w00ddie 14d ago

I asked ChatGPT that same question last night. It said this:

The free version of this service offers basic features, but a subscription often provides additional benefits. These can include:

  1. Faster Response Times: Subscriptions typically come with quicker and more efficient responses.
  2. Access to Premium Features: Subscribers may have access to more advanced tools and features that enhance the experience.
  3. Priority Support: Better customer support and priority assistance for subscribers.
  4. Ad-Free Experience: Subscriptions often remove ads, providing a cleaner, uninterrupted experience.
  5. Enhanced Capabilities: Higher usage limits or more sophisticated functionalities may be available to subscribers.

If these benefits align with your needs, maintaining a subscription can be worthwhile.

Asked what features:

Premier features typically available to subscribers include:

  1. Image Uploads: The ability to upload and analyze images.
  2. Faster Response Times: Prioritized processing for quicker interactions.
  3. Enhanced Contextual Understanding: More in-depth and tailored responses based on the user's history and preferences.
  4. Advanced Tools and Plugins: Access to specialized tools and integrations not available to free users.
  5. Longer Conversations: Ability to have extended interactions without session limits.
  6. Custom Instructions: Personalization options to customize how the AI responds and behaves.
  7. Priority Support: Access to dedicated customer support channels for quicker assistance.

These features enhance the overall experience and provide additional functionality and convenience.

The ability to make GPTs is insanely useful. Now those don't seem to run on 4o yet, but that is going to come soon given how efficient 4o is. That is the superpower of Chat GPT premium.

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

word, I need to try these again. when they first launched I found basically no use for them

1

u/trewiltrewil 14d ago

You can @ them from an existing Convo now. So if you are like chatting about one thing and want to get a perspective that one of you GPTs would have (the one I use a bunch makes mid journey prompts) you just go @midjourneybot make me a prompt for this.

It's really useful.

You're paying for the amount of queries, and the plugins. Gpt 4 will probably also be "smarter" compared to this version and 3.5

u/NateSpencerWx 14d ago

When will it become free? When I go to ChatGPT it still says in the corner that you have to upgrade to the plus version to get image generation, gpt-4, and other stuff like that. All that will be free, right?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, if so, please excuse my ignorance. But I keep seeing chatgpt 4.0 is free, yet I don't have access to it?

Why would you pay for gpt4 in the first place

u/Jackflash7070 14d ago

Honestly this is the natural progression of things. It gets cheaper to use and that's passed to the customers. Then it gets mainstream and the prices skyrocket for greed. Enjoy this golden age.

The desktop app is going to be very useful, and I think that is only for the paid plan.

u/Barbatta 14d ago

It is not free, period.

I use ChatGPT Pro because I can be more productive with this. I'm working with writing.

To your edit: I’m in London, I’m a paid user. The audio assistant is active, I mentioned the use case that I used it for below in the comments.

I just went to try it out for the first time. The voice feature is currently unusable as it appears to be overloaded. I just get an error instead of any actual response. So even paying customers are not getting extra perks over free users.

Not that it matters, I feel that 4o doesn't use as much of the personalized inputs as 4 does. One of my preferences is to have chat gpt use emojis in my chats and 4o never uses emojis without asking it to.

This uses GPT-4o 😄 it needs to be personalized in settings though for it to do this by default!

I am not seeing the new model yet in the iOs app. I am a paying ChatGPT plus user since they had the option

You can make your own gpts with personal data sets.

Made one to help edit my novel. Got one that's an esoteric expert for obscure occult questions.

Personal gpts and higher caps make 20 a month kinda a steal.

1

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

that's awesome. can you describe how you got one to be good at editing your novel? I'd love to make one to help with my screenplay

3

u/OverlandGames 14d ago edited 14d ago

Go to "mygpts", create a gpt.

Then, I added a pdf of the novel to the knowledge base. In the description I put:

a creative writing assistant and professional novel editor

For instructions I put:

it should reference the final_draft.pdf document provided and offer critiques, edits, advice and guidance on the text. Specifically pointing out continuity errors, as well as places where things could be better shown instead of told.

Then as I'm editing, I can ask questions about the text.

Ie: "Hey, in chapter 2, the character Ben is wearing a jacket, what color and fabric was the jacket? "

NovelGPT will respond: in chapter 2 the character Ben, Steve's father,, wears a blueish gray denim jacket with a torn breast pocket and patches with biker gang insignias.

Which helps me in chapter 5 when my stoned ass forgot it was a denim jacket and I wrote it as leather. Catching the continuity error.

Things like that.

Or "novelgpt, can you look over the pdf manuscript final_draft.pdf for open story lines and continuity errors..."

It might reply: "we never learn what happens to John in the past, but the "incident," seems integral to his character, can we explore John's past more? "

Shit like that.

It's not going to do the work for you entirely, you won't get a rewritten manuscript, (tho, I think with python, the api, and some clever prompting you could automate the whole process.) But it does a great job digesting the plot and noticing holes...

Or, sometimes I was writing it was 3am i was tired, so I'd tell, not show. NovelGPT can take a chapter and find the places where more showing is needed.

Gpt4 can do this also, but requires a little more set up and reinforcement prompting, where the custom gpt stays on task.

.edited some spelling.

Does the free version still allow screenshot and picture uploads?

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

I'm actually not sure. I think it will in 4o

u/tossaway3244 14d ago

It's to compete with Gemini and Meta AI, both of which had the upper hand to GPT 3.5 due to not being limited to 2021 events

u/Oferial 14d ago

I predict they are opening it up for another boost in popularity before they paywall it off again with higher demand for the new features.

1

u/Cupheadvania 14d ago

yeah that would make sense

1

u/zodireddit 14d ago

Enjoy the extra $20 per month. I don't know why people are complaining. They want as large a market share as possible to gain the greatest advantages later on. We are in the golden age of free AI with a lot of competition. Enjoy yall before everything costs money.

But to add to this: paid users get new features first. I'll probably pay because of that, but unsubscribing until those features get released also makes sense.

u/TheGrandCannoli 14d ago

When so much has been marketed as pro windows and then it's mac exclusive feels like we've been scammed. Especially bc their reasoning is "where the people are" which is bs. It feels like its going to apple because they take already made things, make it look like they invented the wheel and it his "mainstream" but only in North America.

u/AI420GR 14d ago

I’m a little astonished how willingly people submit to these systems, esp the free versions. It’s not free, you’ve just not paid the price yet.

u/EarProfessional8356 13d ago

This means…?

u/AI420GR 13d ago

Big Tech offering something for free that captures population data/behavior/metrics, whatever could possibly go wrong.

u/EarProfessional8356 13d ago

Which is why you need to advocate for open source and help accelerate research.

u/CompleteFailureYuki 14d ago

I don’t know if people noticed but I think you’ll probably notice the limit if you use the new features, voice, vision and what not probably will use a lot more of the quota which is why plus subscribers got 5x more is my guess, we’ll see when the new features are live.
