If you’re a developer, writer, or just an AI enthusiast, you’ve likely heard of GPT-4, the latest and most powerful language model from OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT. GPT-4 excels in generating natural language text or code from a single prompt and consistently ranks high in tasks like summarization, writing, and answering complex questions.
What you might not know is that you can now use GPT-4 Turbo, an enhanced version of GPT-4, for free in Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft’s new AI-powered chatbot assistant. This unexpected upgrade has delighted many users who have found their productivity tool significantly improved.
Paul Couvert, a well-known figure in the AI community, recently shared on social media that some Microsoft Copilot users now have access to GPT-4 Turbo at no extra cost. Normally, access to GPT-4 Turbo requires a ChatGPT Plus subscription, which costs $20/month, but now this advanced functionality is available for free.
Microsoft has chosen a phased rollout for this update, gradually enabling the feature for users. The company announced in early December that it would be adding new capabilities to its AI assistant, and it seems these upgrades are now accessible to many users.
To use GPT-4 Turbo in Copilot, follow these steps based on Paul Couvert’s tweets:
1. Visit the Microsoft Copilot website at copilot.microsoft.com and sign in with your Microsoft account.
2. View the page’s source code by pressing Ctrl+U on Windows or Cmd+U on macOS.
3. Search for “gpt4t” in the source code by pressing Ctrl+F on Windows or Cmd+F on macOS.
4. If you find references to “GPT-4 Turbo,” your account has access to the AI upgrade, indicating a significant enhancement in Microsoft Copilot’s functionality.
Keep in mind that GPT-4 Turbo is a preview release, meaning it may have some errors or limitations. OpenAI plans to release the production-ready model soon. In the meantime, you can explore GPT-4 Turbo’s capabilities in Copilot and enjoy its features.
In digital media, the most impactful tools often integrate seamlessly into our daily routines, transforming our experience without drawing attention. As GPT-4 Turbo becomes part of Copilot, we’ll see if this quiet update significantly changes our use of AI tools. For now, we’re excited to test its capabilities.
