Does this mean the GPT-4 API is now publicly available, or is there still a waitlist? If there's a waitlist and you literally are not allowed to use it no matter how much you are willing to pay then it seems like it's hard to call that trivial.

Not GP, but it's still the latter...i've been (im)patiently waiting.

From their blog post the other day: With these updates, we’ll be inviting many more people from the waitlist to try GPT-4 over the coming weeks, with the intent to remove the waitlist entirely with this model. Thank you to everyone who has been patiently waiting, we are excited to see what you build with GPT-4!

If you put contact info in your HN profile - especially an email address that matches one you use to login to openai, someone will probably give you access...

Anyone with access can share it with any other user via the 'invite to organisation' feature. Obviously that allows the invited person do requests billed to the inviter, but since most experiments are only a few cents that doesn't really matter much in practice.

Good to know, but I've racked up a decent bill for just my GPT 3.5 use. I can get by with experiments using my ChatGPT Plus subscription, but I really need my own API access to start using it for anything serious.
