https://chatgpt.com - I was using o3 which I think is paid only, but o4-mini and o4-mini-high should both provide similar results and I think at least one of those is available on the free plan.

EDIT: My mistake, looks like those models are only available on the $20/month Plus plan or higher. I added a note about that to my post.

Thanks for the info. Do they still require a working phone number? Their insistence on that is why I have never tried ChatGPT.

I imagine they do, because that's a useful way to prevent people from signing up for hundreds of accounts to abuse a free preview tier. Phone numbers are harder to obtain many of them other things like email addresses.

I've never heard of them abusing that phone number for anything other than that initial verification code.
