It’s that simple to use ChatGPT-4 for free, within the Edge browser, at any time.

If you find GPT-4 useful enough, and like other things about the Microsoft Edge browser, you just may end up setting it as your default browser on the Mac, or whatever other device you’re using.

How do I know what version of ChatGPT is available with Microsoft Edge?

Currently, Microsoft Edge and Copilot use GPT-4. You can confirm this by directly asking ChatGPT/Copilot a question about it’s version, by typing “what version of GPT are you using?” to which you will get a reply stating GPT-4 is in use.

Because of Microsoft’s heavy investment in OpenAI, it’s highly likely that each version of Edge will continue to have GPT present, and even new version of GPT available will be rolled out to Edge users with Copilot as well. This means it’s probable that GPT-4.5, GPT-5, etc will also become available to Edge users for free, whenever those versions of GPT are released to the public.
