ChatGPT Limits
As of Jan 6, 2025
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Model | GPT-4-turbo |
| Subscription | Paid version (e.g., ChatGPT Plus or API usage with GPT-4-turbo). |
| Free Version Limits | Typically capped at GPT-3.5 with similar token limits but less advanced capabilities. |
| Performance Differences | GPT-4 offers better reasoning, contextual understanding, and overall accuracy than GPT-3.5. |
Input
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Max Tokens Per Input | Approximately 4,096 tokens (shared with output, includes input and output combined). |
| Characters Per Token | Average 4 characters per token (varies by text type). |
| Real Text Input | ~3,000 words (equivalent to ~6 pages of double-spaced text in a word processor). |
| Markdown Input | Can handle Markdown documents up to ~4,000 characters, including detailed formatting, sections, and tables. |
| Code Input | Length of a medium-size script (~150–300 lines of well-commented code). |
| Constraints | Very long or complex input exceeding token limits will be truncated. |
| Practical Translation | Input limit is sufficient for long documents, extensive datasets, and complex queries. |
Output

AI as an LLM vs AI as a Coder:
| Task | LLM | Code Interpreter (Coder) | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Language Tasks | Explaining concepts, summarizing, drafting text. | N/A | LLM excels at natural language understanding. |
| Code Guidance | Explaining code or debugging logic. | Writing, testing, and running Python scripts. | LLM explains; Coder executes. |
| Data Analysis | Explaining trends or concepts. | Cleaning, analyzing, and visualizing data. | LLM interprets; Coder handles technical operations. |
| File Handling | Explaining file structures. | Analyzing and transforming file data. | File manipulation requires execution by Coder. |
| Math Problems | Explaining concepts or solving simple equations. | Handling complex calculations or statistical tasks. | Coder is ideal for computationally intensive operations. |
| Visualization | Conceptualizing visual representations. | Generating charts or plots programmatically. | LLM conceptualizes; Coder creates visuals. |
| Creative Writing | Writing stories, poems, or essays. | N/A | Creativity and fluency make this ideal for LLM. |
| Simulations | Explaining models or concepts. | Running numerical simulations. | Simulations need execution, better suited to Coder. |
| Query Responses | Handling nuanced, open-ended queries. | N/A | LLM is better for complex natural language queries. |
| Automations | Suggesting approaches for automation. | Writing and testing automation scripts. | Automations need actual code execution by Coder. |
