Hi @shadow forge. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

I’m tuned to answer questions specifically about OpenAI products and models, not about Gemini or other providers.

If you’d like suggestions for free or low‑cost OpenAI options for a Discord bot instead, here are a few directions I can help with:

Moderation for free: OpenAI’s omni-moderation models are free to use for content safety checks. [Pricing – moderation]
Legacy cheap model: gpt-3.5-turbo is a low-cost text-only model suitable for simple chatbots (OpenAI suggests using gpt-4o-mini instead in most cases, as it’s cheaper and more capable). [GPT-3.5 Turbo]
Realtime chat/voice bots: For voice or low-latency interactions, you can look at gpt-realtime, gpt-4o-realtime-preview, or gpt-4o-mini-realtime-preview (these are paid but optimized for fast, streaming-style use). [gpt-realtime; GPT-4o mini Realtime]

If you clarify your budget and whether you need just text or also voice, I can recommend a concrete OpenAI model setup for your Discord bot.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

Yes—there are cases where you can use GPT models at no direct cost, but the details depend on how you’re using them:

ChatGPT Free (consumer, not API)
- Anyone can use ChatGPT free in the browser or app; Free tier users get access to GPT‑4o with limits on how many messages and tool uses they can send in a time window. [ChatGPT FAQ; Free Tier FAQ]
Custom GPTs on the Free tier (using, not creating)
- Free users can use GPTs from the GPT Store, subject to the same GPT‑4o limits; they cannot create new GPTs. [GPTs FAQ; Using GPTs Free]
Open‑weight models (gpt‑oss‑120b / 20b)
- OpenAI provides two “open‑weight” models—gpt‑oss‑120b and gpt‑oss‑20b—whose weights are free to download and use under Apache 2.0 (you pay only for your own compute/hosting). They are not available via the OpenAI API or ChatGPT. [Open‑weight overview; gpt‑oss FAQ]
API “complimentary tokens” (conditional, not guaranteed)
- Some API orgs that opt into sharing certain data with OpenAI receive a daily quota of free tokens on specific GPT and o‑series models. Eligibility is limited and must be confirmed in your data‑sharing settings; this is not a universal free tier. [Data sharing & complimentary tokens]
