This is only a minor invest compared to the financial support they provide for the students already. I tried to google the exact amount of funding they get. The best I came up with is a 8890 USD loan per year where 40% of it will be converted to a grant once they receive their degree.

#102Why not use a combination of open source and OpenAI models? GPT-3.5 is already beaten by Mixtral and Mistral-Medium. The first one you can host for free and the second has a darn cheap API while getting really close to GPT-4 performance.
Mistral medium still trash vs gpt4
Not vs gpt-3.5 which Oslo has acquired.

So neither is easily usable out of the box? That seems to be a significant barrier to adoption. Is a school supposed to set up infrastructure for all of that themselves?
It's the government not the school. No school has 110k students.

#104My brain stopped in surprise after parsing the first half of that headline. "Oslo acquires ChatGPT.."?!
I, for one, welcome our new Norwegian overlords. btw it's called a garden-path sentence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence
fwiw the title is not a garden path sentence, as there’s no misleading initial parse.

Even the free GPT-3.5 is better at smaller European languages than Mixtral/Mistral-Medium. However I think it's a typo when the article says GPT-3.5. It doesn't make sense to "buy" GPT-3.5. They probably meant ChatGPT Plus which includes GPT-4 access (50 messages in a rolling 3 hour window).
It's not a typo, they bought vanilla chatgpt.

I, for one, stopped at "Oslo acquires ChatGPT for 110k...", in remorse for having missed the opportunity to buy it myself at that price

#110Imagine if 20 years ago search engines sent sales reps to schools and sold access. Copilot is completely free when using Edge with a Bing account. Why spend a dime of taxpayer money on this??
Data protection and privacy for one. As the article says none of the student interaction will be used for training data which probably means you'll have to iron out some sort of educational licensing deal with OpenAI and separate access to the API for students.
