error gpt-4 is currently accessible to those users who have made at least one payment through our developer platform

I encountered an error while attempting to use the GPT-4 API, and I would like to report the issue and seek assistance in resolving it. The error message states: “Error: GPT-4 is currently accessible to those users who have made at least one payment through our developer platform.”

It seems that access to the GPT-4 API requires at least one payment to have been made through the developer platform. However, I am uncertain about the exact process or requirements for making this payment. I kindly request guidance on how to fulfill this payment requirement in order to gain access to the GPT-4 API.

I would appreciate it if someone from the community or the support team could provide further information on the payment process and any additional steps needed to access the GPT-4 API. Any assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Well that’s a new one. A brand new substitute for “this model doesn’t exist” as an API response, or are you using someone else’s software that gives a friendlier answer?

The payment criteria was already evaluated in opening more users to GPT-4, so it is not something that you can now pursue. It means that you had already been a user of other API products, and incurred actual costs that were billed to your payment method that is on file, under billing methods.

If the announced plan of the wider GPT-4 deployment remains in place, GPT-4 access should be granted to all by next month.
