Free GPT-4o vs. ChatGPT Plus: What’s The Difference?
The video titled ‘Free GPT-4o vs. ChatGPT Plus: What’s The Difference?’ by Everyday AI provides a detailed comparison between the free version of GPT-4o and the paid ChatGPT Plus. The host explains OpenAI’s recent announcement of GPT-4o, a new multimodal model available to free users, and addresses common questions regarding the differences between the free and paid versions.
The video begins with an introduction to the Everyday AI channel, which offers daily live streams, podcasts, and a free newsletter focused on generative AI tips and tutorials. The host then dives into the key differences between the free and paid versions of ChatGPT.
Key points include:
1. **Cost and Limits**: The free version is cost-free but comes with more limitations and throttling compared to the paid version, which costs $20 per month. Paid users have higher usage limits and access to more features.
2. **Features**: Free users only get access to the base GPT-4o model, while paid users have access to additional functionalities such as live AI assistance, AI agents, and the ability to build custom GPTs. Paid users also benefit from features like cross-chat memory and custom instructions.
3. **Integrations**: Paid users can use the desktop app and iPhone app with live omnivision capabilities, allowing the AI to interact with users in real-time through their front-facing camera. Free users do not have access to these integrations.
4. **Uploads and Memory**: It is unclear if free users will be able to upload files for interaction. Both versions have the same knowledge cut-off date, but the memory capabilities may differ, with paid users potentially having access to higher memory limits.
The host also speculates that a more powerful version of GPT-4o may be released for paid users in the future, based on OpenAI’s previous previews of multiple models.
The video concludes with a demonstration of the current capabilities of both free and paid accounts, showing that the new features have not yet been broadly rolled out to all users. The host encourages viewers to subscribe to the Everyday AI newsletter and join their daily content for more updates and tutorials on generative AI.
