GPT-4o is a new and the top of the line AI model by OpenAI. It is a multimodal AI model, meaning it integrates text, audio, and vision into a single model, offers faster response times, improved reasoning, and better performance in non-English languages. Compared to GPT-4 Turbo, it is 50% cheaper and twice as fast.
In this blog, we will learn 5 ways to access the GPT-4o model for free, experience the multimod ability, and improve reasoning.
Note: The platforms mentioned in this blog provide limited access to the model, meaning you can ask 5-10 queries per day. It is free but limited.
1. Poe
Poe is my favorite chatbot application. It always provides free access to the latest models. You can access both open-source and closed-source AI models. Poe is by far the most generous platform in providing free access to the latest paid AI models.
To access the GPT-4o model:
- Create a new chat.
- Click on the “More” button above the text input box.
- Search for “GPT-4o” and select the model.
- Start asking questions.
Every day, you get to ask 10 questions using this model.
2. Vercel AI Playground
Vercel AI Playground is another favorite platform that offers free access to both open-source and closed-source models. It also lets you combine multiple models at the same time. It is fast and lets you switch models.
The most intriguing part of using Vercel AI playground is that it has no limitations. You can ask questions as many times as possible without hitting the daily quota.
You can start using the GPT-4o model by creating a new chat box, clicking on the model at the top left, and scrolling down to select it. It is that simple.

3. You.com
You.com is an AI search engine that combines the power of AI models like GPT-4o with web search to provide the latest and most relevant answers.
You.com offers access to all of the top-performing large language models like GPT-4-turbo, Claude 3 Opus, Gemini 1.5 Pro, Llama 3, Command R+, and more. All you have to do is to click on the “More” button and select the “GPT-4o” model.
4. ChatGPT
ChatGPT has announced with the launch of GPT-4o, that it will offer access to the GPT-4o model and advanced tools for all users. As a free user, you can use the GPT-4o model a few times, and then it will automatically switch to the GPT-3.5-turbo model.
The best way to access GPT-4o is to upload the file or image and ask questions about it. It cannot use GPT-3.5 to understand image data, so this might be a cheat code to using GPT-4o all the time.
5. LMSYS Direct Chat
LMSYS Direct Chat is an AI playground that lets you use all kinds of open and closed-source models. To access a particular model, go to the Direct Chat tab, click on the model drop-down button, and select the “gpt-4o-2024-05-13” model.
Access to the model is limited, and sometimes, you might need to get a chance to use it. So, that is why I am keeping it at the 5th spot due to the unpredictability of the model availability.
Conclusion
You can also try the OpenGPT 4o app created by the open-source community to provide similar functionality as the GPT-4o model. It offers a chatbot, live chat with webcam, voice chat, image generation, and video generation. It is a super app.
In this blog, we have learned 5 simple ways to use the GPT-4o model for free. Not all AI models are equally accurate for every task; therefore, choosing a top-tier model like GPT-4o is often the safest choice.
