Introduction
OpenAI starts adding up to 1,000 waitlist users per week; model evaluation becomes mass user testing. The preview expansion is distinct from paid beta access and removal of the waitlist.

Release and use
The 18 May 2022 update announces up to one thousand additional waitlisted users per week and reports experience with image use and moderation. It expands an existing preview rather than introducing a new architecture or removing all waiting-list restrictions.
