A breakthrough in the development of artificial intelligence technology has been signaled by OpenAI’s announcement that its long-awaited GPT-4 API is now available to all paying customers. This event marks a key milestone in the advancement of AI technology.

This change follows the successful debut of the ChatGPT API in March, as well as subsequent improvements to chat-based models.

Since its release in March, the GPT-4 API, which is being hailed as the most competent model of OpenAI, has been in significant demand.

Access to the GPT-4 API with 8K context is now available to all previously registered API developers who have a history of successfully processed payments at this time.

OpenAI’s intent is to expand access to new developers by the end of this month, followed by an expansion of fee caps based on the availability of computing resources.

In addition to GPT-4, OpenAI is making the GPT-3.5 Turbo, DALL’E, and Whisper APIs generally available. This action reflects the fact that these models are now ready to be used on a commercial scale.

The Conversation Completion API currently accounts for 97% of the total GPT consumption of the OpenAI API, indicating that the company is shifting its focus from text completion to conversation completion.

OpenAI intends to continue investing in the chat completion API as the company is confident that it will provide developers with a more proficient and user-friendly experience.

Because OpenAI strongly encourages users to switch to the Chat Completion API, this notification serves as a warning that older versions of the Completion API will soon be phased out.

The company envisions a future where chat-based models can be supported across all use cases, ushering in a new era for AI development.
