What is ChatGPT 4 and how to use it in 2025?
Just four months have passed since OpenAI, a company that develops artificial intelligence, released ChatGPT, which, without overstating its significance, altered the course of history.
It has disrupted education systems, sparked doomsday predictions in global job markets, and attracted millions of users, including big banks and app developers, in just 15 short weeks.
But now it’s goodbye to ChatGPT and hello to ChatGPT-4—an even more powerful tool, sure to send even bigger ripples across the world.
What is ChatGPT-4 and how to use it?
Commence with the name. While GPT-4, or “generative pre-trained transformer 4,” is a computer interface you can interact with, the Chat section speaks for itself.
This indicates that the OpenAI software is currently in its fourth iteration and has gone through extensive data analysis to learn how to produce text that sounds human and provides users with in-depth answers to questions.
How does it differ from its predecessor?
Anyone who has looked into ChatGPT is aware of its shortcomings. It has drawn criticism for providing incorrect information, displaying bias, and acting improperly by getting around its own built-in limitations and providing responses that it isn’t allowed to.
The claim has been made that the quality of the bot depends entirely on the data it was trained on. OpenAI claims that over the last six months, it has worked to make the new software safer.
It asserts that ChatGPT-4 is “40% more likely” to produce factual responses than ChatGPT-3.5 and is more accurate, creative, and collaborative.
What else can it do?
The ability to handle not only words but also pictures, in what is being referred to as “multimodal” technology, is one of ChatGPT-4’s most stunning new features.
Users will be able to upload both text and a picture, which ChatGPT-4 will be able to process and discuss. Eventually, video input will also be possible.
What are its limitations?
Like its predecessor, ChatGPT-4 isn’t too hot at reasoning on current events, given that it was trained on data that existed before 2021.
OpenAI said in a blog post that the latest iteration “still has many known limitations that we are working to address, such as social biases, hallucinations, and adversarial prompts.”
How can I use ChatGPT-4?
Most people can give basic ChatGPT a whirl by signing up with OpenAI here, although restrictions apply in some countries and territories around the world.
But the newest version is currently only being offered to ChatGPT Plus subscribers for $20 a month—sign up here—and as an API tool for developers to build into their applications. You can join the waitlist here.

In the future, you’ll likely find it on Microsoft’s search engine, Bing. Currently, if you go to the Bing webpage and hit the “chat” button at the top, you’ll likely be redirected to a page asking you to sign up for a waitlist, with access being rolled out to users gradually.
Who is using ChatGPT-4 right now?
Morgan Stanley is using it to organise wealth management data, payment company Stripe Inc. is testing to see whether it can help combat fraud, and language-learning app Duolingo is incorporating it to explain mistakes and to allow users to practice real-world conversation.
What comes next?
In a nutshell, rivals. Other technology companies are vying for a piece of the action even though Microsoft Corp. has promised to invest $10 billion in OpenAI.
A number of startups are vying for the AI train, but Alphabet Inc.’s Google has already made its own AI service, called Bard, available to testers.
In China, Meituan, Alibaba, and a number of other lesser-known companies are also entering the fray. Baidu Inc. is also getting ready to introduce its own bot, Ernie.
