"Unlocking Access: How to Check if You Have GPT-4 Turbo in Microsoft Copilot"

If you're a developer, writer, or AI enthusiast, you’ve likely heard about GPT-4, OpenAI's latest and most advanced language model. Renowned for generating coherent text and code from a single prompt, GPT-4 consistently excels in tasks such as summarization, writing, and complex question answering.

What's particularly exciting is that you can now access GPT-4 Turbo, the enhanced version of GPT-4, for free through Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft's new AI-powered chatbot assistant. This upgrade is a welcome surprise for users who find their productivity tool significantly enhanced without any additional cost.

Recently, Paul Couvert, a notable voice in the AI community on X.com (formerly Twitter), announced that some Microsoft Copilot users now have complimentary access to GPT-4 Turbo. Typically, GPT-4 Turbo requires a ChatGPT Plus subscription, priced at $20/month, but this new offering democratizes access to its powerful features.

Unlike typical product launches, Microsoft is implementing a phased rollout, gradually enabling users to experience these new capabilities. The company confirmed in early December that it would be upgrading its AI assistant, and many users can now enjoy these enhancements.

To start using GPT-4 Turbo in Copilot, follow these steps based on Paul Couvert’s guidance:

Step 1: Access Microsoft Copilot

Visit the official Microsoft Copilot website at copilot.microsoft.com and log in with your Microsoft account credentials.

Step 2: View Source Code

Once on the Copilot website, press Ctrl+U (Windows) or Cmd+U (macOS) to open the page's source code in a new tab or window.

Step 3: Search for GPT-4 Turbo

With the source code displayed, press Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (macOS) to initiate a search. Type “gpt4t” in the search box.

Step 4: Verify Access

If your search highlights "GPT-4 Turbo" in the source code, you have access to this enhanced AI feature, promising improved functionality from Microsoft Copilot.

Please note that GPT-4 Turbo is in preview mode, which means it may have some stability issues and limitations. OpenAI intends to release a production-ready model soon, but you can still explore GPT-4 Turbo's capabilities and enjoy the experience.

In today’s digital landscape, the most impactful tools are those that integrate seamlessly into our routines, transforming our workflows without drawing attention to themselves. As GPT-4 Turbo becomes an integral part of Copilot, we are eager to see how this quiet update will influence our use of AI tools moving forward.
