ChatGPT API

OpenAI has introduced their ChatGPT models, including the gpt-3.5-turbo one, that is the exact model that is used to create ChatGPT. The price is $0.002 per token (1k) and is 10x cheaper than the GPT-3.5 models, which makes it the preferred model for a variety of non-chat instances. Early testers have found the transition from text-davinci 003 to gpt-3.5-turbo to be a breeze, only making minor adjustments along the way to get the best output.

API

ChatGPT models consume a series of metadata and messages, that are displayed to the model as the sequence of “tokens” using a new format known as Chat Markup Language (“ChatML”).

Dedicated Instances

“In dedicated instances, users can have complete control over the workload of the instance and can choose to activate features like longer limit on the context of the instance, and the option to save to the snapshot of their model. It can be beneficial economically for users who use more than 450 million tokens per day, since it could dramatically cut expenses compared to shared infrastructure.”

Whisper API

Text-to-speech made simple, Get quick, instant accessibility to the Whisper API’s large-v2 model priced at $0.006/minute. Get enhanced functionality and support for range types of files (m4a, MP3 (mp4, mpeg) wav, mpga webm).
