Are you looking to incorporate AI-powered chat into your apps and services? OpenAI has just made it easier and more cost effective with their new ChatGPT and Whisper APIs. In this blog post, we’ll be summarizing OpenAI’s announcement and exploring the implications of their new models and terms of service.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT API
OpenAI’s ChatGPT API can be used for more than just creating an AI-powered chat interface. Companies like Snap have already been using it for that purpose with their My AI feature. OpenAI’s new model family, called gpt-3.5-turbo, is the “best model for many non-chat use cases.”
OpenAI is offering 1,000 tokens for $0.002, which is “10x cheaper than our existing GPT-3.5 models,” according to OpenAI. One token generally corresponds to ~4 characters in English. If you’re running a large amount of data through the API, you can get a dedicated instance of ChatGPT. This will give you more control over what model you’re using, how long you want it to take to respond to requests, and how long conversations with the bot can be.
OpenAI’s Whisper API
OpenAI is also announcing a new API for Whisper, their speech-to-text model. You can use it to transcribe or translate audio at a cost of $0.006 per minute. While the Whisper model is open source, using the API may be the way to go if you’re looking for a quick turnaround or need to do transcription on lower-powered devices like phones.
OpenAI’s Policy Changes
OpenAI has made some important changes to their developer terms of service. They are now going from an opt-out system to an opt-in one, meaning customers must explicitly okay the usage of data submitted through the API to train their models. This could help alleviate some concerns about putting proprietary information into the bot, as some companies have barred employees from using the tech entirely. OpenAI is also working on improving their uptime and making stability of production use cases their top priority.
Conclusion
OpenAI’s new ChatGPT and Whisper APIs are making it easier and more cost effective to incorporate AI-powered chat into apps and services. With their new terms of service, customers can be sure that their data is safe and secure. OpenAI is also working on improving their uptime and making stability of production use cases their top priority.
If you’re looking to incorporate AI-powered chat into your apps and services, OpenAI’s new APIs are definitely worth exploring.
