What are you using instead? First with OpenAI or something else entirely?

Ruled out because they prohibit sharing your chat logs with other AI (means you can’t post outputs of these on the public Internet without technically violating legal terms of a megacorporation and thus exposing yourself to a legal risk): # Closed AI (Prohibitions): 1. OpenAI claims it’s illegal, harmful, or abusive to use outputs to develop models that compete with OpenAI, which is beyond anticompetitive and goes in…

you forgot one obvious solution, but seemingly most people ignore this option: contact the companies

If you are big enough, you setup your own terms and conditions and negotiate a master agreement. I work for a rather large insurer, and we can use azure openai, nvidia workbench and gemini

> Microsoft AI including GitHub Copilot is prohibited to use for AI

I could not find anything like that in Copilot agreement, so the parent comment seems untrustworthy.

Microsoft comms share that that certain models are still down in regions like Central US and Sweden Central. Can't believe that the status pages says it is recovered which means Microsoft thinks that recovery means models are down.

We are in Sweden Central. Currently everything except vision seems to be up again.

Do you know any model not from OpenAI or Claude Anthropic that offers JSON schema bounded responses as a feature? That feature really helps me a lot when developing LLM-powered services.

Yes actually, you can use Mistral 7B v0.3 Instruct for this, here’s a guide in the readme, scroll down https://github.com/mistralai/mistral-inference Make sure to put a json schema as well as few shot examples of json values for the same schema in your prompt

Thanks, I’ll try it!
