#12I love the concept of this and other alternate ChatGPT UIs, but I hesitate to use them and pay for my calls when I could use chat.openai.com for free. Any chance you could integrate the backend-api, and let me paste in my Bearer token from there?
Hey! I definitely understand the reservation. This is definitely me as well. My reasons for using the UI at this point: * GPT-4 is decently faster when talking straight to the API * The API is so stupidly cheap that it's basically a rounding error for me. Half an hour of chatting to GPT3.5 costs me $0.02 Would be curious what you mean by integrating the backend-api?

#13> Run locally on browser – no need to install any applications That's not what "run locally" means. This isn't any more "local" than talking to chatgpt directly, which is never running locally.

Wow! Is it really that cheap? GPT4 is much more expensive, I imagine?

#17Looks cool! Are you planning on adding more customization to be able to influence the AI? See https://bettergpt.chat/ (it's also open source and uses API in the browser). Basically with that frontend you can control the role of all messages (e.g. add system messages) and also edit them all to better influence the AI in some cases.

How is it that cheap?! I ran three queries on langchain yesterday with two ConstitionalPrompts and it cost $0.22 - made me realize deploying my project for cheap could be expensive quick.

Maybe I’ll have to try this for a month and see if it end up costing more than $20. Thanks for creating it!
