4 Ways to Access The New GPT-4 (2 Free Options!)
OpenAI just released GPT-4. Here are some ways to access GPT-4 today!
OpenAI just released GPT-4, which is a new AI model that besides being smarter and more creative than the old ChatGPT, it has new features like being able to understand images and generate more than 25000 words.
Although OpenAI only announced one official way to access GPT-4, there are other ways that will help you access GPT-4 (some free).
Here are the 4 ways you can access the new GPT-4.
Option #1: ChatGPT Plus Subscription (The Official Way)
Currently, the official way to get access to GPT-4 is through the premium ChatGPT subscription: ChatGPT Plus.
You can subscribe to ChatGPT Plus for $20 a month. It offers available when the demand is high, faster response speed, and priority access to new features. One of those new features available to only ChatGPT Plus users is GPT-4.
There’s a caveat though. Currently, even ChatGPT Plus doesn’t offer some of the new features of GPT-4 like visual input and also it has a usage cap that will be adjusted by OpenAI depending on demand and system performance.
OpeanAI said that in the future it might offer some amount of free GPT-4 queries, so those without a ChatGPT Plus subscription can try it too.
That said, below are other options to get access to GPT-4 for free.
Note: To subscribe to ChatGPT Plus, you have to log in to your ChatGPT account.
Option #2: Poe (Free Option)
At the time of writing this article, you can also access GPT-4 through Poe, in case you don’t have a ChatGPT Plus subscription.
Poe is an AI chatbot app announced by Quora in February and it has multiple language models available. One of them is GPT-4.
The only caveat is that Poe only lets you send 1 message per day for free. It’s little but at least it can help you get a first-hand idea of what GPT-4 can do.
Something cool about Poe is that you can also use it on your iPhone because it has an app available on the App Store.

Option #3: Microsoft Bing (Free Option)
In the past months, Microsft released its AI-powered engine “Bing” to compete with Google Search.
The best part about the new Bing is that it’s free and runs the new GPT-4. It’s worth mentioning that the integration of GPT-4 was customized for search in the new Bing, so you might see some features that are on GPT-4 that aren’t on Bing and vice versa.
Some of Bing’s capabilities are interactive chat, summarized responses, content generation, etc. To know everything you can do with Bing, read this.

Option #4: Through GPT-4 API
In case you’re not a developer and wonder what’s an API. Well, it’s simply a set of rules that allows different apps to talk to each other.
Using GPT-4 with the API isn’t as simple as using it on the ChatGPT website, but it’s worth learning how to use it because APIs usually have more to offer.
If you’re a Python user, probably GPT-4 API is going to be available on the OpenAI package just like when ChatGPT API was released. However, you have to join a waitlist first.
Before getting your invitation for the GPT-4 API, and in case you never worked with any API, you can have some practice with these OpenAI API and ChatGPT API guides.
