Hello, I’m a high school student in South Korea with a strong interest in AI and environmental modeling. Recently, I noticed that my OpenAI account (currently on the Free tier) appears to have access to experimental features such as GPT-4.1, GPT-4o, the Assistants API, and fine-tuning tools.
Unfortunately, I do not have access to any payment methods, which prevents me from using the API—even for small-scale educational experiments.
I’ve been preparing a personal research project titled “Climate-Driven Societal Collapse Simulation,” which involves modeling the interaction between climate variables, extreme weather events, and social system resilience using predictive equations and network simulations. I plan to gradually work on this simulation using GPT-4.1 and Assistants API features, and I would be more than happy to share specific feedback and reports about how the tools perform during each stage.
If possible, I’d like to request a small amount of API credits so I can begin building this research framework. This project is purely educational, and I hope to use it to learn more about AI modeling, environmental systems, and simulation logic.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
