[GPT-4 - OpenAI](https://openai.com/research/gpt-4) > [!Ai]+ > ## GPT-4 - OpenAI > GPT-4 is a highly advanced language model that excels in problem-solving and has a broad range of knowledge. It is more creative and collaborative than its predecessors, allowing users to generate, edit, and iterate on creative and technical writing tasks. GPT-4 can also process images and provide captions, classifications, and analyses. With a capacity to handle over 25,000 words, it is suitable for long-form content creation, extended conversations, and document search and analysis. The development of GPT-4 builds upon the success of previous models like GPT-2 and GPT-3, utilizing more data and computation for increased sophistication. Safety and alignment have been prioritized, with GPT-4 being 82% less likely to respond to disallowed content and 40% more likely to produce factual responses compared to GPT-3.5. Human feedback and collaboration with experts have played a crucial role in improving GPT-4's behavior and safety. The model's advanced reasoning and instruction-following capabilities have expedited safety research. Overall, the creators of GPT-4 are eager to witness how people will utilize this technology as they continue to develop empowering technologies for all. # How do I get access to GPT-4? As of October 2023, you need to be a paying subscriber to openai. In order for this to work, you need to have used at least $1.50 of credits (use GPT-3-turbo), and then wait until a billing cycle. In the worst case this might take up to a month.
