ChatGPT’s Free Version Can Now Be Used Without Logging In

OpenAI ismaking it easierfor people to use ChatGPT instantly without signing into their account. Now, whenever you open ChatGPT, you can directly start chatting with thefree GPT-3.5 model. You don’t have to log in to your OpenAI account. Microsoft also offers Copilot to users without an account, and it seems OpenAI is following the same trend. That said, some of the features won’t be available to users without an account.

For example,custom instructionswon’t be available as ChatGPT requires an account to personalize your experience. Similarly, you can’tsave or share your ChatGPT conversationwithout an account and do voice conversations. Although it sounds like the incognito mode for ChatGPT, OpenAI uses your conversation totrain its models.

So the company is providing a one-click option todisable model trainingon your data. You can click on the question button at the bottom-right corner, open Settings, and disable the toggle for “Improve the model for everyone”. This will stop OpenAI from storing and using your data for model training.

OpenAI says it has added additional guardrails toblock unsafe promptsand generations across a wide range of categories. The ability to use ChatGPT without an account is being rolled out gradually across 185 countries.

Keep in mind that OpenAI is offering the free GPT-3.5 model without requiring you to sign up. The GPT-4 model is much more advanced and hallucinates to a much lesser degree. If you are looking forChatGPT alternativesthat offer GPT-4 level performance for free, you can check outClaude 3 Sonnet, Microsoft Copilot, Mistral Chat, and more. Here, Microsoft Copilot, particularly, offers theGPT-4 Turbomodel for free which is great.

In case, you are not following the news, OpenAI is working on an intermediateGPT-4.5 modeland may release theGPT-5 modelby the summer of 2024, according to a report. And recently, it previewed aVoice Engine modelthat can clone voices with just a single 15-second audio clip. OpenAI didn’t release the model as there are serious risks associated with the technology.
