The business world has embraced ChatGPT over the last year and found uses for the writing and image generation AI throughout many industries. This cheat sheet includes answers to the most common questions about ChatGPT and its competitors.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What is ChatGPT?<\/span><\/h2>\n

ChatGPT is an AI chatbot product developed by OpenAI and built on the structure of GPT-4<\/a>. GPT stands for generative pre-trained transformer; this indicates it is a large language model that checks for the probability of what words might come next in sequence. A large language model is a deep learning algorithm \u2014 a type of transformer model in which a neural network learns context about any language pattern. That might be a spoken language or a computer programming language.<\/p>\n

OpenAI continues to update ChatGPT with faster, more capable AI models. In September 2024, the company showed its next-generation model o1<\/a>, which is optimized for complex reasoning in math and science. While o1 actually takes more time to process information than GPT-4o does, that slow and steady approach can produce more complicated code or mathematical processes. OpenAI o1 is available to ChatGPT Plus and Team users now, with Enterprise and Edu users set to gain access on the week of Dec 9.<\/p>\n

The model doesn\u2019t \u201cknow\u201d what it\u2019s saying, but it does know what symbols (letters or words) are likely to come after one another based on the data set it was trained on. The current generation of artificial intelligence chatbots, such as ChatGPT, its Google rival Bard, and others, don\u2019t really make intelligently informed decisions. Instead, they\u2019re the internet\u2019s parrots, repeating words that are likely to be found next to one another in the course of natural speech.<\/p>\n

The underlying math is all about probability. The companies that make and use them pitch them as productivity genies, creating text in a matter of seconds that would take a person hours or days to produce.<\/p>\n

In ChatGPT\u2019s case, that data set is a large portion of the internet. From there, humans give feedback on the AI\u2019s output to confirm whether the words it uses sound natural.<\/p>\n

The public version of ChatGPT can call on current events information as recent as January 2022. ChatGPT Plus can call on current events information as recent as April 2023.<\/p>\n

In August 2023, OpenAI launched GPTBot, a web crawler meant to expand ChatGPT\u2019s knowledge. The company provided technical details about GPTBot<\/a> and ways to keep it from crawling a website.<\/p>\n

Several organizations have built chatbots into some of their software features. Microsoft, which provides funding for OpenAI, rolled out ChatGPT in Bing search<\/a> and in Microsoft 365<\/a>. Salesforce has added ChatGPT to some of its CRM platforms<\/a> in the form of the Einstein digital assistant.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Who made ChatGPT?<\/span><\/h2>\n

ChatGPT was built by OpenAI, a research laboratory with both nonprofit and for-profit branches. At the time of its founding in 2015, OpenAI received funding from Amazon Web Services, InfoSys, and YC Research, and investors including Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. Musk has since cut ties with the company, while Microsoft provided $10 billion in funding for OpenAI in 2023.<\/p>\n

<\/span>How much does ChatGPT cost?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The base version of ChatGPT can strike up a conversation with you or search the web<\/a> for free.<\/p>\n

For $20 per month, ChatGPT Plus gives subscribers priority access in individual instances, faster response times, and the chance to use new features and improvements first. For example, right now ChatGPT Plus subscribers will be running GPT-4, while anyone on the free tier will talk to GPT-3.5.<\/p>\n

For developers and organizations who don\u2019t already have a specific contract with OpenAI, there is a waitlist<\/a> for access to the ChatGPT API.<\/p>\n

In August 2023, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Enterprise<\/a>, a subscription plan for business with more security enhancements and admin controls compared to the basic version. Organizations interested in pricing for ChatGPT Enterprise can contact OpenAI\u2019s sales team. As of January 2024, 260 enterprise customers had signed up for ChatGPT Enterprise, according to Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In January 2024, OpenAI opened ChatGPT Team<\/a>, a subscription that allows access to OpenAI\u2019s larger models and a collaborative workspace. It costs $25\/month per user when billed per year or $30\/month per user billed monthly.<\/p>\n

December 2024 brought a $200\/per month Pro subscription. ChatGPT Pro includes access to heavy-duty models for research and business applications. For the money, users can talk via ChatGPT with OpenAI o1, o1-mini, or GPT-4o, and use the relatively versatile Advanced Voice mode. The subscription also includes access to o1 pro mode, a slower-thinking version of the advanced model best for complicated math, science, and coding problems.<\/p>\n
