OpenAI, an artificial intelligence (AI) business, has started two projects to grow ChatGPT offerings to colleges and non-profit entities.
ChatGPT Edu, a variation of the AI large language model developed especially for use by colleges and expressly intended for usage by students, teachers, researchers, and campus management, represents the first of the new service channels.
OpenAI claims the new product “includes enterprise-level security and controls, and is affordable for educational institutions.”
A corporate blog article outlining numerous present use cases for ChatGPT at the university level was published. Institutions listed as using the service included Oxford, Wharton, the University of Texas at Austin, Arizona State University, and Columbia University.

Using ChatGPT, for instance, Columbia researchers are creating intervention plans to stop drug overdoses. An assistant professor at Arizona State has created a “GPT Buddy,” utilizing the tool that lets German students practice their language in conversational form on their own time.
According to the blog post, Kyle Bowen, Deputy CIO of Arizona State University, was optimistic about the ChatGPT Edu project: “Integrating OpenAI’s technology into our instructional and operational frameworks accelerates transformation at ASU. Working together in our community, we’re using these tools to leverage our knowledge as a scalable model for other universities.”
Along with reduced charges for ChatGPT use, OpenAI has started an effort aimed at providing more tools and support for NGOs.

With a possible 50% discount for “larger nonprofits ready for large-scale deployment,” nonprofits registering for the service can now use the ChatGPT Team service for a discounted charge of $20 per user, monthly.
Both ChatGPT Edu and ChatGPT for Nonprofits have access to the newest models, including GPT-4o, as well as services and features such as picture generation, communal workspaces, and bespoke GPTs.
As a result, OpenAI has made its GPT-4o model available to unpaid users—the free alternative to using ChatGPT. Users in this tier can thus access search and load custom GPTs, create pictures including charts and graphs, upload files, and combine web answers. To develop their own bespoke GPTs and escape message restrictions on the GPT-4o model, users will still need to pay for a subscription tier.
