OpenAI has expanded its free tier offerings, making several advanced features previously exclusive to paying subscribers available to all ChatGPT Free users. This change follows the release of GPT-4o, OpenAI's latest AI model, and includes functionalities such as:

• Web Browsing: Free users can now browse the web to answer questions.
• Data Analysis: Tools for data analysis and chart creation are now accessible, with the ability to connect to cloud storage services like Google Drive and OneDrive.
• File Uploads: Users can upload files for analysis and summarization.
• Custom GPTs: While free users cannot create their own custom GPTs, they can use those created by third-party developers.

Paid subscribers still retain benefits such as higher message and conversation limits with GPT-4o. When free users exceed their limits, they revert to using the older GPT-3.5 model.
