At present, GPT4Free provides \u2014 or at least appears to provide \u2014 free and nearly unlimited access to GPT-4, as well as GPT-3.5, GPT-4\u2019s predecessor.<\/p>\n GPT-4 is normally priced at $0.03 per 1,000 \u201cprompt\u201d tokens (about 750 words) and $0.06 per 1,000 \u201ccompletion\u201d tokens (again, about 750 words); tokens represent raw text. GPT-3.5 is slightly cheaper at $0.002 per 1,000 tokens.<\/p>\n So how does GPT4Free get around OpenAI\u2019s paywall? It doesn\u2019t \u2014 not really. Instead, it fools the OpenAI API into thinking it\u2019s receiving requests from websites with paid OpenAI accounts, like the search engine You.com, WriteSonic or Quora\u2019s Poe.<\/p>\n Anyone who uses GPT4Free is racking up the tab of sites xtekky chose to script around \u2014 an obvious violation of OpenAI\u2019s terms of service. But xtekky doesn\u2019t see a problem with this; they assert that GPT4Free is strictly for \u201ceducational purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLegal action can happen, and I\u2019ll have to comply, but I\u2019ll still try to continue the project through other means,\u201d xtekky said.<\/p>\n I\u2019m too much of a programming novice to install GPT4Free locally \u2014 it requires setting up a Python environment \u2014 but I used xtekky\u2019s website<\/a> to test the reverse-engineered GPT-4\/3.5 APIs. (Heads-up, Chrome threw a security warning when I first navigated to the site. Proceed with caution.) The web version of GPT4Free worked well enough in practice, giving answers that appeared to be \u2014 at least to me \u2014 from GPT-4.<\/p>\n
