A-ha, Kagi GPT-4 chat assistant still works... how can they use GPT-4 without OpenAI API?

Azure OpenAI

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.

URGENT - 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.

Amazon Bedrock has an embeddings option

https://www.anthropic.com/product recommends the open-source SBERT: https://www.sbert.net/examples/applications/computing-embedd...

Highly recommend preemptively saving multiple types of embeddings for each of your objects; that way, you can shift to an alternate query embedding at any time, or combine the results from multiple vector searches. As one of my favorite quotes from Contact says: "first rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ2nhHNtpmk

All 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 :)

Thank you for reminding me about Dave Chappelle’s 3am Baby On The Corner skit.

Well I guess this is the best time to say that HuggingFace hosts many open source chat models, one of my favorites is a finetuned version of Mistral 7B: https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-chat

I didn't know about this. It's pretty damn good. Thanks!

Azure OpenAI Service is up, and provides the same models as OpenAI https://azure.status.microsoft/status

Lots 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.
