OpenAI recently announced a major update that opens the advanced voice mode based on GPT4o mini to all free users. This move means that even without a paid subscription, users can experience ChatGPT's advanced voice capabilities every day. This change will undoubtedly attract more users to try and rely on this advanced artificial intelligence tool.
However, free users are subject to certain restrictions when using advanced voice mode. Specifically, the user's daily usage time is limited, and when the remaining time is only 3 minutes, the system will issue a warning prompt. Once the daily limit is reached, the conversation will automatically terminate. Although this limitation affects the user experience to a certain extent, it also provides OpenAI with a way to balance resource allocation.
In contrast, ChatGPT Plus users enjoy superior usage conditions. They can use the full version of the advanced voice mode based on GPT-4o, with a daily limit of 5 times that of free users. Additionally, Plus users can continue to use video and screen sharing features, which are not available in the free version. For ChatGPT Pro users, they don't even have daily usage restrictions and enjoy higher video and screen sharing permissions, which undoubtedly provides professional users with greater flexibility and convenience.
