In a major AI-related development, OpenAI has announced that all paying API customers now have access to the highly praised (and awaited) GPT-4 model. Building upon the success of the ChatGPT API launched in March, OpenAI has been working tirelessly to enhance the chat-based models and expand their capabilities. The goal is to create a future where chat-based models can cater to a wide array of use cases, revolutionizing the way we interact with artificial intelligence.

GPT-4, touted as OpenAI’s most advanced model to date, has generated tremendous excitement among developers. Since its initial introduction, millions of developers have eagerly requested access to the GPT-4 API, leading to a surge of innovative products that leverage its powerful capabilities. Starting today, existing API developers with a history of successful payments can access the GPT-4 API with an impressive 8K context. OpenAI plans to gradually open up access to new developers by the end of the month and subsequently increase rate-limits based on compute availability.

As part of their ongoing efforts to improve their offerings, OpenAI has also made the GPT-3.5 Turbo, DALL·E, and Whisper APIs generally available. These models have undergone extensive testing and are now deemed stable and ready for production-scale use. OpenAI is currently working on enabling fine-tuning for GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 Turbo, with plans to make this feature available later in the year.

A significant shift in OpenAI’s approach is the transition from text completions to chat completions. The introduction of the Chat Completions API in March has proved to be a game-changer, accounting for a staggering 97% of API GPT usage. OpenAI has learned that structured prompts often yield better results than freeform text prompts. The chat-based paradigm not only handles a wide range of previous use cases but also accommodates new conversational needs, offering developers enhanced flexibility and specificity. With its structured interface and multi-turn conversation capabilities, the Chat Completions API enables developers to create immersive conversational experiences and tackle various completion tasks, including text summarization, code completion, and few-shot learning. Additionally, it mitigates the risk of prompt injection attacks by separating user-provided content from instructions.

OpenAI is committed to investing heavily in the development of chat completions, recognizing its potential to provide developers with an increasingly capable and user-friendly experience. The team is actively working on addressing any remaining gaps in the Chat Completions API, such as log probabilities for completion tokens and reduced “chattiness” of responses. These improvements will further refine the user experience and solidify OpenAI’s position as a leader in AI-powered conversations.
