Yup.

Coincidentally about an hour ago, I wanted to look something up in ChatGPT and I happened to be in a browser window I don’t normally use, with no logged in accounts. I assumed it wouldn’t work, but to my surprise with no account, no cookies of any kind it took my query and gave me an answer.

Yeah it works but it's a dumber model. Prob mini

You get a couple requests in at a smarter model and then it prompts you to sign up, and from there uses an extremely dumb model.

They allowed anonymous requests for months now, maybe even a year.

I used to mostly use chatgpt in an incognito tab, logged out. Until I notice it seems to have some context of my logged in session, and of the logged out as well. It may be paranoia or prompt deduction as well but that felt strange.
