As early as last year, following OpenAI launched the GPT-4 Turbo model, Microsoft quickly reported that it would be imported into Copilot, but there was no relevant news later. Therefore, many people mistakenly thought that the free version of Copilot was already GPT-4 Turbo. In fact, it is not. Earlier, Mikhail Parakhin, head of Microsoft’s advertising and network services department, officially announced on X (Twitter) that all free users can use the GPT-4 Turbo model, but be aware that you need to switch to the specified mode when chatting .
The GPT-4 Turbo model is now available to Copilot free users!Remember to switch to these two modes
Previously, only Copilot Pro users might use GPT-4 Turbo. Perhaps the rumored GPT-4.5 Turbo is coming soon. Microsoft officially released it to free Copilot users earlier. Mikhail Parakhin mentioned on X (Twitter):
After a lot of efforts, GPT4-Turbo finally replaced GPT-4 in the free version of Copilot. For professional users, there is a switch option to freely switch back to the old model.
After quite some work, GPT4-Turbo replaced GPT-4 in the Copilot free tier. Pro users can still choose the older model, if prefer (there is a toggle).

In a follow-up message from a netizen, Mikhail Parakhin also added that both “Creative mode” and “Precise mode” can use the GPT-4 Turbo model, which means that if it is balanced mode, it is not, and everyone can enjoy it. People remember to use these two chat modes:
However, it should be noted that although free Copilot users can now use GPT-4 Turbo, according to previous news, if it is peak usage period, it may be downgraded to the GPT-3.5 model, but there will be no prompt. Determine whether it is a demoted model based on the response content of Copilot. Therefore, for people who are not good at judging, it is recommended to use it during off-peak hours (that is, when fewer people use it).
Copilot Pro users don’t have to worry regarding this, they can always use the GPT-4 Turbo model.
As for the reason why it is suddenly open to free users, many people are speculating that it is related to OpenAI’s upcoming release of GPT-4.5 Turbo. This possibility is indeed very high, because when OpenAI has a new model, Microsoft Copilot will quickly import it.
Now the new models should be exclusive to Copilot Pro. If you wait until OpenAI is launched, it will be too late, which is not in line with Microsoft’s promise that Copilot free users can also use the latest models, so it will be no problem to open it a few days before the release, and it will not let Copilot Pro users have complaints.
This also means that if Copilot free users want to use the latest GPT model, they will probably have to wait until the next generation model is released soon.
Microsoft is expected to hold a launch event for Surface and Copilot AI on March 21. More new features of Copilot should be announced at that time. We will follow up on any news:
