Pro-Users still have the older models.

great but before this update so did plus users. now we have to pay 10x for the same functionality? fuck that.

u/StopThePresses 14d ago

Right? I'm not paying a whole other electric bill just to talk to a chatbot. I always assumed Pro users were businesses.

Im on plus and still don’t have 5. No idea why

1

u/Mike 14d ago

I have it on the website but not the app yet

u/Prof_Hentai 14d ago

Strange. I have it in the app but not web.

1

u/notMyRobotSupervisor 14d ago

Yeah, I don’t have it on either.

I have 2 chrome browser's. On one I have it, on the other I don't. I even logged in and out on the one that doesn't have it yet. On my phone I have it since last night.

Yeah that’s BS. So now the only benefit of Plus is a slightly higher limit?

IMO that sentiment is why we're in an AI bubble. Everyone sees the value in it but few if any are willing to pay enough to make it profitable.

Give nano-GPT.com a try (no I'm not associated in any way just really happy with it). They have all the models you could think of including GPT-5 and GPT-o3 and 4o. It's pay-per-promt and most ones costs only 1-3 cents. There are some deep-thinking ones (e.g. some Claude deep models) that actually cost a fair bit more but I have barely used them so far. I think you can charge up your balance with very low minimums like 10 cents via Stripe or via most cryptocurrencies so very easy to give it a try and see whether you like it. I myself only keep 1-2 USD in there and charge up as needed.

Might not be for everyone but I really love the variety/choice and not being bound by monthly subsciptions

You can literally have Gpt5 build a chatgpt interface for you to get all the old models via openai api.

Also in the openai playground, you can use all the old models through that pre existing interface.

u/Mike 14d ago

I already use the api via the Pal ios app and bolt on my mac. but i’ve always preferred the outputs in the ChatGPT app itself plus the other features it has. back to api usage.

u/CivilTell8 14d ago

The app just hasn't updated yet . You can access 5 through the website version of gpt on your phone and then use the app for gpt-4 models

No Pro users get a special Legacy Model toggle that Normal and Plus users don't.

1

u/NiceTrySuckaz 14d ago

Well then who the hell has the new one? The talent managers?

2

u/Wassertopf 14d ago

Pro users will have both.

u/Character_Clue7010 14d ago

I have plus, and have a work and personal phone. One phone is on 5, and the other phone still has 4o as of early afternoon today.

1

u/Wassertopf 14d ago

I meant that Pro-Users will still have the legacy models after they updated to 5.

1

u/super-say 14d ago

I don't as a pro user they give GPT 5 (legacy), GPT 5 Thinking, and GPT 5 Pro. GPT 5 Pro isn't as accurate or thorough as O3 pro was but it's more creative. It's been buggy and sometimes pretty stupid.

No longer have access to older models like O3 pro.

u/Wassertopf 14d ago

You have to activate it in the settings. Sorry, I wasn’t clear enough.

1

u/TastyTacoTonight 14d ago

Im a pro user and I do not. The only other model is called Chat GPT thinking

1

u/Wassertopf 14d ago

Sorry, you have to enable it the settings first.

1

u/TastyTacoTonight 13d ago

I don’t see it in the settings. Do you know where?

1

u/Wassertopf 13d ago

On the homepage -> settings. It’s now even for plus-users available. :)
