To maintain its position as the preceptor of language models, Open AI is developing new features for its API. These include the addition of the recently enhanced ChatGPT and Whisper templates to provide the best experience for developers.
What are the improvements to ChatGPT and Whisper?
In the Open AI API, Open AI has published the gpt-3.5-turbo model, identical to the one used on the ChatGPT site. Each 1,000 words represents $0.002, which is a 10-fold reduction compared with existing GPT-3.5 models. It’s worth noting that this model is also the best for many use cases other than chat.
As for Whisper, the speech-to-text model. It has been widely praised by developers since it was released as open source in September 2022. Nevertheless, it was very hard to implement. Via its API, Open AI made the large-v2 model accessible at a price of $0.006 per minute. What’s more, the number of servers optimized by the company guarantees faster performance than other services.
What other changes have been made to the Open AI API?
Over the past six months, Open AI has been gathering feedback from users to understand their needs. Some concrete changes have been made, including:
Data submitted via the API is no longer used to improve services (including model training), unless the organization agrees.
A default data retention policy of 30 days has been implemented for API users.
More stringent retention options are made available according to user requirements.
System analysis at launch has been removed.
Documentation for developers has been improved.
Terms of service and usage policies have been simplified. Particularly with regard to data ownership: users are the owners of model input and output data.
However, over the past two months, the API has failed to meet the expectations of both the company and users. Stability is now the engineering team’s top priority. The company recognizes the importance of being a reliable service provider for AI to benefit all humanity.
Open AI’s API enhancements make it easy to develop applications like Spotify’s DJ. So, if you’ve enjoyed this article, and you’re interested in Data Science or considering a career in this field, don’t hesitate any longer and come and discover our training offers or our articles on DataScientest.
