Do you know how the quality compares to OpenAI? On Kagi I get really fast responses, but I feel that the quality is lacking sometimes. But I haven't done side-to-side comparisons as I don't have OpenAI subscription.
It’s exactly the same models as OpenAI.
But with different, separate content filtering or moderation. I have deployed in prod and managed migration to Azure Openai form Openai, and had to go through content filter issues.

#155All tech folks should just get a PTO today . #ChatGPT_outage Am I supposed to use Google and Stack overflow ? That’s like going back to roll down windows in a car :)
Typicaly those using chatgpt are junior devs, not much lost if they can't access it.

#156Dreaming of the day I run my own models and can be entirely responsible for my own outages.
And then you will have to endure not using a model by OpenAI that is 10x better than a local one

he didn't say ethernet or wifi, he said internet. as in when the next big solar storm hits earth
I mean, if internet "internet" is down then society has collapsed and your job is probably gone anyways
I do admit, it'll be hard to sell 10 years experience building CRUD apps to the hunter gatherer commune.

#158URGENT - Does anyone have an alternative to OpenAI's embeddings API? I do have alternative to GPT's API (e.g. Anthropic Claude) but I'm not able to use them without embeddings API (used to generate semantic representation of my knowledge base and also to create embeddings from user's queries). We need to have an alternative to OpenAI's embeddings as a fallback in case of outages.
Be careful because one embedding may not be compatible with your current embeddings
Re: Major outages across ChatGPT and API
#159Lots of jokes to be made, but we are setting ourselves up for some big rippling negative effects by so quickly building a reliance on providers like OpenAI. It took years before most companies who now use cloud providers to trust and be willing to bet their operations on them. That gave the cloud providers time to make their systems more robust, and to learn how to resolve issues quickly.
The point is, OpenAI spent a lot of money on training on all these copyrighted materials ordinary individuals/companies don't have access to, so replicating their effort would mean that you either 1) spend a ridiculous amount of money, 2) use Library Genesis (and still pay millions for GPU usage). So we have very little choice now. Open Source LLMs might be getting close to ChatGPT3 (opinions vary), but OpenAI is sti…
Don't underestimate Big Corp's resistance to using OpenAI's hosted solutions (even on Azure) for anything that's not marketing fluff.

#160Fortunately for OpenAI, they have no SLAs: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5008641-is-there-an-sla-...
I say this as a huge fan of GPT, but it's amazing to me how terrible of a company OpenAI is and how quickly we've all latched onto their absolutely terrible platform.
I had a bug that wouldn't let me login to my work OpenAI account at my new job 9 months ago. It took them 6 months to respond to my support request and they gave me a generic copy/paste answer that had nothing to do with my problem. We spend tons and tons of money with them and we could not get anyone to respond or get on a phone. I had to ask my coworkers to generate keys for everything. One day, about 8 months later, it just started working again out of nowhere.
We switched to Azure OpenAI Service right after that because OpenAI's platform is just so atrociously bad for any serious enterprise to work with.
