What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is the AI chatbot from US company OpenAI. It went live as a free preview on November 30, 2022, and today runs on the sixth generation of GPT models. What set it apart from day one was the conversation: you ask follow-up questions, ask for corrections and get answers in natural language instead of search results. On ChatX you use the same GPT models through OpenAI's official API, with no OpenAI account and an English interface.

OpenAI's GPT models, explained simply

Behind ChatGPT are the GPT models from OpenAI. On ChatX you use the same models through the official API, with an English interface and billing per reply instead of a monthly subscription. The page starts with the preset, low-cost model GPT-6 Luna, which you use without signing up and which is enough for everyday questions, short texts and translations; it already comes with a thinking mode. With a free account you switch to GPT-6.1 Sol or GPT-6 Astra for long texts, analyses and code, and for models with web search you turn the search on so the reply includes current sources. With an account you can also upload photos, PDF and Word files and ask questions about them.

It's this easy

  1. 1

    Enter your question

    Type your question or task into the input field. You don't need to log in for this.

  2. 2

    Choose a model

    Start with the default model or switch to a more powerful one anytime.

  3. 3

    Keep going

    With a free account, you save your chats, upload files, and get free tokens every day.

How does ChatGPT work?

Behind ChatGPT is a language model that learned from huge amounts of text which word is most likely to come next. Your message is broken into small pieces called tokens, and the answer is then built token by token. That's also why ChatX bills each answer by tokens rather than by message.

To make the model follow instructions instead of just continuing text, OpenAI trained it further using ratings from people. That's why ChatGPT understands follow-up questions, accepts corrections and adapts its tone. The thinking mode you turn on for GPT-6 Luna and GPT-6 Astra makes the model compute longer before answering; that helps with math, logic and code and uses more tokens.

The model only knows what was known by the end of its training. For current questions, turn on web search for models with the globe icon, and it will search the web and cite sources. And because it calculates probabilities, it can sound convincing and still be wrong: numbers, names and quotes are worth a quick double-check.

Privacy: what happens to my input?

Your message goes from ChatX straight to OpenAI's official API, and the answer comes back the same way. You don't need an OpenAI account for this, and OpenAI doesn't see your name or email address from ChatX. According to OpenAI's data policy for its API (as of November 2026), these requests are not used to train the models; OpenAI may keep them for up to 30 days to check for abuse, and processing takes place mainly in the US.

ChatX only saves your chats if you have an account, and then only for you. You can delete any chat at any time. Without signing up, nothing is stored permanently in an account.

OpenAI is a US company, so processing takes place outside the EU. Don't enter passwords, health data or secrets that shouldn't end up in someone else's hands. You'll find the details in the privacy policy.

Costs and free allowance

  • Without signing up, you get 15,000 tokens to try it out. That's enough for around 163 answers with GPT-6 Luna.
  • With a free account, you get 15,000 tokens as a gift every day.
  • If you need more, you can buy tokens with no subscription or choose a monthly plan. Billing is based on the model's actual usage.

ChatGPT compared with the other models on ChatX

GPT is the all-rounder: it follows instructions very reliably, formats cleanly and is a safe choice for everyday writing, summaries and code, while Claude often sounds more natural in long, nuanced texts. Gemini shines with very large documents and Google-style research, Grok answers more directly in a relaxed tone, and DeepSeek is much cheaper but restricted on political topics and its phrasing is occasionally less natural. On ChatX you don't have to commit: switch models in the same chat and compare the answers side by side.

Frequently asked questions

Who developed ChatGPT?

ChatGPT comes from OpenAI, an AI company founded in the US in 2015. It is built on the GPT models OpenAI has been developing since 2018; the chatbot itself launched on November 30, 2022.

How is this different from the original?

You use the real GPT models from OpenAI through their official API, while the interface comes from ChatX. Instead of a monthly subscription you only pay for actual usage per reply, and you have models from other providers in the same place.

Which GPT model should I pick?

For everyday questions GPT-6 Luna is enough. It runs without signing up and already has a thinking mode. For long texts, analysis and code, switch to GPT-6.1 Sol with a free account, and for the trickiest tasks to GPT-6 Astra with thinking mode.

Can ChatGPT search the internet here?

Yes. For models with the globe icon in the input field, you turn on web search in the chat. The answer then includes current sources.

Can I create images with ChatGPT?

Not in the chat model itself. You create images on ChatX with the AI image generator, where GPT Image from OpenAI is one of the options.

Can I upload images and documents?

Yes. With a free account you upload photos, screenshots, PDF and Word files and ask questions about them. Without signing up, uploads are not enabled.

How well does ChatGPT write in English and other languages?

The GPT models write clean standard English in different tones and handle many other languages as well. With dialect or highly technical writing, it's worth giving the answer a quick read.

Are there message limits?

To prevent abuse, you can send at most 30 messages per minute. Beyond that, token usage counts: a starting allowance without signing up, a daily allowance with an account, and after that you buy tokens as needed.

The history of ChatGPT

From a research lab founded in the US in 2015, through the chatbot launch in November 2022, to the GPT-6 family that has been running in ChatGPT and on ChatX since fall 2026.

    Since August 2, 2026, most of the European AI regulation applies, and the European Commission can enforce the rules for general-purpose AI models. For providers like OpenAI, the obligations for such models have applied since August 2025, and OpenAI has also signed the voluntary code of practice. For users in the EU, this means more transparency about training and capabilities.

    GPT-5.4 operates the computer itself

    GPT-5.4 brings native computer use: the model can control programs and browsers instead of only producing text. In the API, the context grows to up to one million tokens, enough for whole books or code repositories at once. In the same month, OpenAI removes the older 5.1 models from ChatGPT.
