> It is priced at $0.002 per 1k tokens, which is 10x cheaper than our existing GPT-3.5 models. This is a massive, massive deal. For context, the reason GPT-3 apps took off over the past few months before ChatGPT went viral is because a) text-davinci-003 was released and was a significant performance increase and b) the cost was cut from $0.06/1k tokens to $0.02/1k tokens, which made consumer applications feasible wit…

Elon is making an open-source version. OpenAI either make it affordable or be left in the dust.

Does anyone have a sense of how the Shopify integration work under the hood? Specifically, how were they able to have Chat-GPT makes a recommendation from their product database? Given the model cannot be fine-tuned and there is a 4000 token context limit, I'm guessing the only thing really possible is to have chat gpt extract a few keyword and generate a query in their internal product search and return the first one? Is there anything else that might going under the hood?

It's tokens processed , not generated.

If you have 10K tokens in your conversation, the next reply means 10K + len(reply) extra tokens. I estimate 125 rounds of conversation fit in 1M tokens, for $2.

No it handles a max of 4k. That's context plus reply.

This is playbook taken from Amazon prime.

This massive price cut, I believe, is intended to undercut competing open source ChatGPT equivalent initiatives.

OpenAI/Micorsoft may be losing money with this new pricing, but that is on purpose. At these lower prices most of the OpenSource alternatives in the works will have difficult time continuing projects.

After few years, when most open source alternatives have died, OpenAI/Microsoft will gradually raise the prices.

This is the same strategy that Amazon Prime used for many years, losing money on shipping. Once the competition was eliminated, Amazon Prime prices steadily increased.

I really wonder if one way they are able to make money on it is by monetizing all the data that pours into these products by the second.

the only one making money on this is NVIDIA

Selling shovels in the goldrush…

You are like 2 months out of date. Stable diffusion now has a massive ecosystem around it (civitai/automatic1111), that when used well, completely crushes any competitors in terms of the images it produces. Midjourney is still competitive, but mostly because its easier to use. Dalle2 will get you laughed out of the room in any ai art discussion.

This isn’t as true as it sounds, ex. stable diffusion can do better but requires in depth practice and experience. For your average user, DallE is easy, MJ is fairly disorienting, and SD requires a technical background. I agree with you completely no one serious is doing art with DallE. I would have said same as you until I tried integrating SD vs. DallE APIs, I desparately want SD because it’s easily 1/10th the cost…

Check out Evoke SD API: https://evoke-app.com/

You don't need a technical background at all really. We've also got something cooking that does prompt tuning in the background so there's less prompting needed from the user.

We also have a discord: https://discord.gg/dXJtarPsCm

It's amazing that "being two months out of date" in AI means that you are already a dinosaur

For real! This stuff is moving fast . It feels like just last week I was posting about how it's going to change...art. And now there are hilarious deepfake memes of past and current presidents shit talking about video games. There are a handful of ML art subs that have pretty amazing stuff daily. Especially the NSFW ones, which if you've studied any history of media VHS/DVD/Blu-ray/the internet, porn is a major innov…

Can you recommend any interesting ones?

Ridiculous. Stable diffusion might have a massive ecosystem around it but mid journey is making money hand over fist. Most people don't even necessarily have a discreet GPU necessary to be able to run SD, and the vast majority of artists that I know are using midjourney and then doing touchups afterwards. Even with all the different models that you can load in stable diffusion MJ is 1000 times better at natural langu…

How is MJ making any money? Do they charge? When I went on their discord it was free.
