We explain step by step how to test GPT-4, the new OpenAI language model, through ChatGPT.
One of the biggest announcements this March is undoubtedly GPT-4. The new language model developed by OpenAI arrives to renew GPT-3 with many more capabilities, such as the possibility of detecting up to 25,000 words of text or image recognition to offer different information; from the name of a plant to the crafts that you can do with the materials that appear in the photograph. The AI, of course, goes way beyond these two features, and the best way to see that is to try it out first hand. We explain step by step how you can now access GPT-4 in ChatGPT.
At the moment, the only way to access GPT-4 is through ChatGPT Plus, the Premium version of ChatGPT . This paid variant arrived a few months ago as part of OpenAI’s strategy to obtain income that allows them to continue advancing the development of AI products. Among the advantages of ChatGPT Plus is the possibility of unlimited access to the chatbot, even at peak times, when in the free version there is usually a waiting list. Another advantage, precisely, is that of early access to new products, such as GPT-4.
OpenAI, yes, ensures that they will have priority access to the new AI, but they will only be able to use it in a limited way. In other words, it is probable that during the first weeks not all the capabilities of GPT-4 will be available or that there will be a maximum number of questions that can be asked of the aforementioned model.
“ChatGPT Plus subscribers will have access to GPT-4 at chat.openai.com with a usage limit. We will adjust the exact usage limit based on demand and how the system performs in practice, but we expect capacity to be severely constrained (although we will scale and optimize in the coming months).”
Claims OpenAI.
How to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus to use GPT-4
Testing GPT-4 through ChatGPT Plus is really easy. In fact, it is only necessary to subscribe to the payment plan by following these steps.
First of all, access the ChatGPT website from your computer and log in with your OpenAI account. If you don’t have one, you can quickly create one from here. Next, in the sidebar, click on ‘Upgrade to Plus’ . A pop-up window will appear with the two available ChatGPT plans.
Since we want to test GPT-4, we have to select ChatGPT Plus, which is priced at $20 per month. Now, just click on ‘Upgrade to plan’ , enter a payment method and click on the button that confirms the subscription.
When the payment is confirmed, OpenAI will send an email that you are already subscribed to ChatGPT Plus. Finally, you just have to access the chatbot from the web ( chat.openai.com/chat ) and log in with the same account with which you previously registered.
