As a developer eagerly awaiting the chance to access the GPT-4 API, I can't help but express my growing frustration with the waitlist system. I understand the need for a gradual rollout to ensure server stability and mitigate misuse, but it feels like it's been an eternity since I signed up.

The potential of GPT-4 is truly game-changing, and seeing all the amazing projects other developers have built is just adding to the anticipation. It's disheartening to be left on the sidelines while others seem to be getting access and capitalizing on these opportunities.

I believe a more transparent approach to the waitlist would go a long way in alleviating some of this frustration. If we had a better idea of where we stand in the queue or an estimated time for access, it would make the waiting game more bearable. As it is, we're left in the dark, wondering if we'll ever get the chance to dive into this powerful tool.

In the meantime, it's back to refreshing my email inbox and cursing my luck. Hoping for a more equitable distribution of access soon, so that all of us excited developers can start bringing our ideas to life with GPT-4.



I would contact support and check with them. I was given access to gpt4 with 8K context API within a few hours of requesting it. Maybe I got super lucky but my guess is something may have gone wrong with your request or the email notification. Have you tried using your API keys with gpt4 API requests? Maybe it already works? Best of luck, hope it gets resolved


thanks for the advice; I've emailed OpenAI support for an update on my GPT-4 API access – fingers crossed!


Same with me. I got it pretty soon after announcement.


Yeah me too - all I can do now is build around gpt-3.5-turbo and assume the responses will be similar to what I get with my GPT-4 with my Plus membership.

You’d think since I pay for Plus and API credits I’d get access to GPT-4 but nope.


it's surprising that even with a Plus membership and API credits, GPT-4 access remains elusive – hope we both get off the waitlist soon!


Sorry this has been your experience. I signed up and was given access the next day and I've barely even used it. Hopefully you get in soon.


You should be able to just buy GPT4 access through poe.com's iOS app (and even get limited free access to GPT4 through the poe.com website)
