ChatGPT Versions & Capabilities

There are several versions of ChatGPT.

ChatGPT-3.5 is the free version, and that’s what we’ll use when setting up the environment throughout this course.

ChatGPT-4, including ChatGPT-4o, requires a paid subscription.

ChatGPT-3.5 is a powerful tool, offering impressive conversational abilities, helping with tasks like answering questions, generating ideas, and assisting with everyday tasks. It's suitable for beginners and handles most queries effectively, making it an excellent starting point for users new to AI.

ChatGPT-4, however, brings enhancements in certain areas. It offers improved accuracy in handling more complex or detailed queries and provides more consistent results over longer conversations. While ChatGPT-4 excels in creative and analytical tasks, ChatGPT-3.5 remains highly capable and accessible for most basic and intermediate applications, particularly for users just beginning their AI journey.

Both models use the same fundamental approach, but ChatGPT-4 offers additional features that are most useful to those needing deeper reasoning or more complex responses. For general use, ChatGPT-3.5 continues to be a reliable and efficient tool for learning and practical purposes.
