- 25% cost reduction on input tokens for
gpt-3.5-turbo - announcing the deprecation timeline for the
gpt-3.5-turbo-0301andgpt-4-0314models
There are open source LLMs. I am not saying it is wrong to consume LLM as a service, the issue is openAI seems intent on intent on not being very open.
Ah, i think there is a miss understanding of their name, it’s not open as in open source, it’s open as in open research. They publish all their research for others to duplicate. And yes, there is other models out there, but on one as good as GPT4. Unless you have a computer with 640 ram, you can’t run it. So yeah, compared to fetching data from a database that could be done on a Raspberry and generating data that requires a monster computer, i understand that they wanna put a price on the API.
