What's stopping OpenAI from cranking up the inference pricing once they choke out the competition?

I mean.. the lock in risks have been known with every new technology since forever now, and not just the risk but the actual costs are very real. People still buy HP printers with InkDRM and companies willingly write petabytes of data into AWS that they can’t even afford to egress at current prices.

To be clear, I despise this business practice more than most, but those of us who care are screaming into the void. People are surprisingly eager to walk into a leaking boat, as long as thousands of others are as well.

I haven't been paying attention, why are embeddings not needed anymore?

Retrieval: augments the assistant with knowledge from outside our models, such as proprietary domain data, product information or documents provided by your users. This means you don’t need to compute and store embeddings for your documents, or implement chunking and search algorithms. The Assistants API optimizes what retrieval technique to use based on our experience building knowledge retrieval in ChatGPT. The mod…

so, clients upload all their docs to OpenAI database?..

Embedding is poor man's context length increase. It essentially increases your context length but with loss.

There is a cost argument to make still, embedding-based approach will be cheaper and faster, but worse result than full text.

That being said, I don't see how those embedding startups compete with OpenAI, no one will be able to offer better embedding than OpenAI itself. It is hardly a convincing business.

The elephant in the room is the open source models aren't able to match up to OpenAI models, and it is qualitative, not quantitive.

they definitely do provide embeddings, https://openai.com/blog/new-models-and-developer-products-an... ctrl+f retrieval, "... won't need to ... compute or store embeddings"

I mean embeddingsDB startups don't provide embeddings. They provide databases which allows to store and query computed embeddings (e.g. computed by ChatGPT), so they are complimentary services.

Yeah I still see a chat bot being able to look for related information in a database as useful. But I see it as just one of many tools a good chat experience will require. 128k context means for me there other applications to explore and larger tasks to accomplish with fewer api requests. Better chat history and context not getting lost

Where is the part about embeddings?

The investors will only get their 1000x if OpenAI can convince people its risk free to use. So they'll happily cover the legal battle to prove it or spent every last company penny trying

Or, alternatively, copyright risk is a major concern for real customers, and this is a major step forward in addressing that. Not everything needs to be so cynical. What’s good for investors can be good for users as well.

According to [1], the new gpt-4-1106-preview model should be available to all, but the API is telling me "The model `gpt-4-1106-preview` does not exist or you do not have access to it." Anyone able to call it from the API? 1. https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8555510-gpt-4-turbo

Same. I am eager to run my code editing benchmark [1] against it, to compare it with gpt-4-0314 and gpt-4-0613. Edit: Ha, I just re-read the announcement [2] and it says 1pm in the 5th sentence: We’ll begin rolling out new features to OpenAI customers starting at 1pm PT today. [1] https://aider.chat/docs/benchmarks.html [2] https://openai.com/blog/new-models-and-developer-products-an...

Good find - Looks like I now have access!

> We’re also launching a feature to return the log probabilities for the most likely output tokens generated by GPT-4 Turbo and GPT-3.5 Turbo in the next few weeks, which will be useful for building features such as autocomplete in a search experience. This is very surprising to me. Are they not worried about people not just training on GPT-4 outputs to steal the model capabilities, but doing full blown logit knowled…

I guess the EO takes care of that in their eyes (outlawing open models). They’re probably right too
