OpenAI is offering free ChatGPT Plus service to all college students in the US and Canada who qualify. The company launched a webpage for the offer that details who is eligible and what’s included.
ChatGPT Plus usually costs $20 a month and offers faster responses from the chatbot service and doesn’t limits users on things like image generation, which the company just started offering as a free service limited to a few uses at a time. Students from a degree-granting school that qualifies will get two months of ChatGPT Plus until the offer ends on May 31.
The student webpage includes a tool that allows students to see if their school qualifies and to ask for assistance if they’re not on the list. ChatGPT also verifies the student through a few methods listed on the site.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT service has seen a surge of popularity recently in part due to its revamped image-generation tool. According to reports, ChatGPT has about 150 million active weekly users.
