The cryptocurrency world has seen intense interest in chatbots in recent years. With Microsoft's unveiling of free GPT-4 access through its Bing chatbot, individuals across the globe can now use what has been used to create innovative autonomous trading bots. This feature, alongside the ability to offer multimodal responses, view past chats and install extra plugins, is part of Microsoft's aim to expand the reach of the Bing chatbot - of which the company boasted 100 million users in the announcement.

In comparison, OpenAI's ChatGPT Plus service costs $20 a month and has been used in unison with the GPT-4 model - though while the free version of ChatGPT is slightly less capable (utilizing the GPT-3.5 model), it still offers its own set of benefits. These include early access to certain new features, priority access to the system during periods of high traffic, and faster response times from the model.

The current competitive landscape between the two chatbots is not clear. Experts have speculated on social media about why someone would pay for ChatGPT Plus when both offer the same features. One possible reasoning might be that ChatGPT Plus could evolve more quickly in the future due to subscriptions granting access to faster updates. Ultimately, those looking to use GPT-4 in cryptocurrency should assess both platforms and their offerings, as Microsoft's decision to make GPT-4 accessible for free has made it much more accessible for any individual curious about exploring advancements in AI.
