When choosing GPT-3.5, the response times are significantly faster than without a Plus subscription. Expect your full output to be generated within a few seconds, compared to approximately one line per second without a Plus subscription. When choosing GPT-4, the response times are similar to GPT-3.5 for non-Plus users; one line per second.
The third benefit has only gotten significant attention since the 14th of March when GPT-4 was released. However, how significant are the differences between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 for a developer or data scientist? Let’s find out!
In the article below we looked at how ChatGPT-3.5 handled generating and testing code for the following three challenges:

Now, let’s explore what happens if we send the exact same queries to ChatGPT-4. By comparing its output to ChatGPT-3.5’s output we can find out if access to GPT-4 should count as a significant…
