OpenAI is not doing us any favours by using confusing naming schemes for their models and obscuring which models people are actually working with.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say OpenAI doesn’t want us doing these tests accurately and is trying to hide something.

it’s extremely easy to see which model you are using. one’s own… difficulties understanding are not a conspiracy by OpenAI

It does not show the model version anywhere on the page on chatgpt.com, even when logged in.

Yes it does, at the top of every chat there is a drop-down to select the model, which displays the current model. It's been a constant part of the UI since forever.

[chongli]

No, it only says "ChatGPT Plus (Upgrade)" or "ChatGPT".

Maybe it's different if you have a paid account?

if i go to chatgpt.com on my phone not logged on at all it tells me very prominently at the top that i am using 4o mini

[bcrosby95]

Logged in, non paid account, on a desktop, for me, it's exactly as the person you're replying to has stated.

If I log out, it shows 4o mini, and when I try to change it, it asks me to login or sign in rather than giving me any options.

When I use enough chatgpt when logged in it gives me some nebulous "you've used all your xyz tokens for the day". But other than that there is no real signal to me that I'm getting a degraded experience.

It's really just confusing as hell.

Someone else in this thread said,

> With a free account the model it claims to be using is "4o auto", which is not a model but apparently an attempt to automatically decide models for you to be more cost effective.
