The playbook OpenAI is following is similar to AWS. Start with the primitives (Text generation, Image generation, etc / EC2, S3, RDS, etc) and build value add services on top of it (Assistants API / all other AWS services). They're miles ahead of AWS and other competitors in this regard.

And just like amazon they will compete with their own customers. They are miles ahead in this regard as well since they basically take everyone’s digital property and resell it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you see a way around prompt injection? It feels like any feature they release is going to be susceptible to it.

I suspect OpenAI's black box workflow has some safeguards for it.

Still, safeguards are quite a lot less safe than if statements. We live in interesting times.

I don’t think there’s any way to guarantee safety from prompt injection. The most you can do is make a probabilistic argument. Which is fine; there are plenty of those, and we rely on them in the sciences. But it’ll be difficult to quantify.

CS majors will find it pretty alien. The blockchain was one of the few probabilistic arguments we use, and it’s precisely quantifiable. This one will probably be empirical rather than theoretical.

For DALL-E 3, I'm getting "openai.error.InvalidRequestError: The model `dall-e-3` does not exist." is this for everyone right now? Maybe it's gonna be out any minute. I see the python library has an upgrade available with breaking changes, is there any guide for the changes I'll need to make? And will the DALL-E 3 endpoint require the upgrade? So many questions. Edit: Oh I see, > We’ll begin rolling out new features…

The documentation/READMEs in the GitHub repo was updated to play nice with the new v1.0.0 of the package: https://github.com/openai/openai-python/

Aha, makes sense, thanks :)

And here I was in bliss with the 32k context increase 3 days ago. 128k context? Absolutely insane. It feels like now the bottle neck in GPT workflows is no longer GPT, but instead its the wallet! Such an amazing time to be alive.

> 128k context? Absolutely insane

128k context is great and all, but how effective are the middle 100,000 tokens? LLMs are known to struggle with remembering stuff that isn't at the start or end of the input. Known as the Lost Middle

Text to Speech is exciting to me, though it's of course not particularly novel. I've been creating "audiobooks" for personal use for books that don't have a professional version, and despite high costs and meh quality have been using AWS.

Has anybody tried this new TTS speech for longer works and/or things like books? Would love to hear what people think about quality

Whisper V3 is released! https://github.com/openai/whisper/commit/c5d42560760a05584c1... Looks like it's just a new checkpoint for the large model. It would be nice to have updates for the smaller models too. But it'll be easy to integrate with anything using Whisper V2. I'm excited to add it to my local voice AI ( https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9NC624PBFGB7 ) I assume ChatGPT voice has been using Whisper V3 and…

Do you also get those hallucinations just on silence?

I kind of wonder if they had a bunch of training data of video with transcripts, but some of the video/audio was truncated and the transcript still said the last speech, and so now it thinks silence is just another way of signing off from a TV program.

IMHO the bottleneck on voice now is all the infrastructure around it. How do you detect speech starting and stopping? How do you play sound/speech while also being ready for the user to speak? This stuff is necessary, but everything kind of works poorly, and you really need hardware/software integration.

Does anyone have an idea why they are so open about Whisper? Is it the poster child project for OAI people scratching their open source itch? Is there just no commercial value in speech to text?

speech to text is a relatively crowded area with a lot of other companies in the space. Also really hard to get "wow" performance as it's either correct (like most other people's models) or it's wrong
