OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence research organization, recently unveiled its newest flagship model, GPT-4o, which has been making waves in the tech community.
This advanced multimodal model boasts capabilities that go beyond its predecessors, offering enhanced performance in various aspects. One of the most significant questions surrounding GPT-4o is whether it is free or not.
GPT-4o is not entirely free, but it does offer a free tier for users. According to OpenAI’s official pricing page, the model is available in different tiers, each with varying pricing structures.
For instance, the 128K context model, which includes GPT-4o, is priced at $5.00 per 1 million tokens. This pricing model is based on the number of tokens used in requests to the model, with tokens being pieces of words, approximately 750 words per 1,000 tokens.
GPT-4o is available in the free tier of ChatGPT starting today, and it is also accessible to subscribers of OpenAI’s premium ChatGPT Plus and Team plans.
The free tier comes with usage limits, but Plus users will have a message limit that is up to 5x greater than free users. Team and Enterprise users will have even higher limits.
OpenAI has announced plans to roll out GPT-4o to ChatGPT Free users with usage limits today. Additionally, the company is set to launch a new Voice Mode with GPT-4o’s advanced capabilities in alpha in the coming weeks, with early access for Plus users as the feature rolls out more broadly.
The pricing structure is based on the number of tokens used in requests to the model, with varying tiers available for different levels of usage. For those interested in accessing the advanced capabilities of GPT-4o, the free tier and premium plans offer a range of options to suit different needs and budgets.
