Can connect using gpt-3.5 turbo but not with gpt-4. What can be done?

As of April 2023, to use GPT-4 through an API like JeditΩ, you must first register for the GPT-4 API waitlist and obtain permission to use it from OpenAI. Once registered, it should only take a few days to gain access. However, if accessing GPT-4 through ChatGPT Plus, such permission is not required.

On the other hand, for GPT-4, the cost is $0.03 (4 yen) per prompt and $0.06 (8 yen) per response per 1000 tokens, which is over 10 times the price of GPT-3.5 Turbo.
