You must have heard aboutOpenAI unveiling their latest model,GPT-4o, a massive improvement over GPT-4, with better performance and faster speed. The best part is that you can useGPT-4oright away in ChatGPT across all devices, be it mobile, desktop app, or PC.

OpenAI, in theofficial blog post, has confirmed the immediate availability ofGPT-4oto ChatGPTPlusandTeamusers, in addition to the free ones. However, it will be released forEnterprisecustomers later.

Even the plans window in ChatGPT has been updated to include the latest model. It now listsLimited access to GPT-4ounder theFreeplan,Up to 5x more messages for GPT‑4ounder thePlusplan, andHigher limits for GPT-4, GPT‑4o…under theTeamplan. So, it’s evident that the model is available across the three, albeit with limited access!

How can I use GPT-4o?

1. On the ChatGPT website

If you are eligible for the model, OpenAI will send a prompt asking you to switch toGPT-4o. I, being a free user, received the prompt and quickly switched to the latest model.

On my end, I see a few changes. Now, instead of listing theGPT-3.5andGPT 4models, it just saysChatGPTandChatGPT Plus. The URL, of course, has changed fromchatgpt.openai.comtochatgpt.com!

To verify if I was onGPT-4o, I asked ChatGPT a quick question and then clicked on theChange modeloption at the end of the response. To my surprise, I was usingGPT-4oon ChatGPT, and that too as a free user.

On another account, though, it still didn’t offerGPT-4o, confirming that this is a phased rollout. The interface was the same as earlier, except for the new URL.

If you are a free ChatGPT user, open the website and see if you are prompted to try out the new model. ForPlusandTeamusers, theGPT-4oshould appear alongside the other models.

2. ChatGPT mobile app

Once you have switched toGPT-4oon the web, the changes will reflect for the account in the ChatGPT iOS app. To verify which model you are currently on, simply tap on the ChatGPT option at the top, and the current model will be listed at the top.

For others who haven’t yet switched toGPT-4o, the model should be listed alongsideGPT-3.5andGPT-4in the dedicated menu near the top right. So, you can always make the switch from there, given the model is available for your account!

3. ChatGPT desktop app

OpenAI has released a ChatGPT app for macOS, and if you have already got that, it’s slightly trickier to useGPT-4o, but nonetheless, shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.

First, when you open the ChatGPT website, it will show you aDownloadbutton to get the app. From there on, you will be able to change the GPT model.

Some users also downloaded the app from third-party sources, as shown in several tutorials, but I would recommend waiting for the app to be available for your account.

Even downloading it from other sources doesn’t whitelist your account. If it’s not yet available, you will get an error!

Besides, do not forget that the rollout is gradual, so it might take a while forGPT-4oto be available for use.

In case you are on Microsoft Azure,GPT-4ois now available in Azure AI!
