ChatGPT available in paid version for commercial use

Budrigannews.com – In an effort to find commercial applications for the wildly popular chatbot, OpenAI is making its ChatGPT tool available to businesses for integration into their own applications.
Businesses and developers who want to use the software’s ability to answer questions and generate text in their own applications and products can now access the software for a fee. The company first made ChatGPT available to the general public in November.
Customers will be able to connect their apps to ChatGPT’s application programming interface, which will provide them with the same version of OpenAI’s GPT 3.5 model at a cost ten times lower than OpenAI’s current models. OpenAI, a company based in San Francisco, stated in a blog post on Wednesday that Snap Inc., Shopify Inc., and Instacart Inc. are among the businesses that already use the ChatGPT API in their products.
While ChatGPT, an image generator, and DALL-E, the most well-known artificial intelligence systems of the past year, have piqued the public’s interest, OpenAI must also figure out how to pay for these massive AI models’ enormous cloud computing costs and accelerate revenue growth.
OpenAI negotiated an increase of $10 billion to Microsoft Corp.’s investment in the company in January. OpenAI started a waitlist a month ago for developers and businesses that want to use ChatGPT in their own apps and is selling a paid version to individuals.
The AI research company said it would give priority to businesses and users running public applications on the platform and acknowledged that ChatGPT has been down too frequently recently.
OpenAI wrote, “Our uptime has not met our own expectations or those of our users for the past two months.” The stability of production use cases is now the top priority for our engineering team.
ChatGPT will be incorporated into Instacart’s shopping app alongside the company’s own artificial intelligence and product catalog, making it the largest online grocery delivery company in the United States.
According to the company, customers will be able to ask the app to do things like suggest healthy options for kids and show them how to make great fish tacos. The chatbot will also be used by Shopify for its consumer app, where ChatGPT will provide product recommendations when customers search for a product.
According to Chief Executive Officer Lex Bayer, Quizlet Inc., a provider of electronic learning tools, is developing an AI tutoring experience in which ChatGPT’s question-and-answer format is utilized to imitate the Socratic method. ChatGPT can also turn a vocabulary list into a paragraph or make up a story in the language being studied to test reading comprehension for foreign language learning.
Teachers, who have primarily focused on concerns that students are using the chatbot to cheat and automate homework, may welcome this use of the bot more.
Bayer stated, “There will be some apprehension with any new technology.” We are constantly pushing the limits of technology and using it correctly, which is extremely beneficial to students.
An AI-enabled chatbot was made available to Snapchat Plus subscribers, who pay $3.99 per month, on Monday, according to an announcement made by Snap Inc., maker of the photo-sharing app. According to the company, Snapchat’s My AI can be used to suggest birthday gift ideas, dinner recipes, and “even write a haiku about cheese for your cheddar-obsessed pal.” It is trained to exhibit a “unique tone and personality.” All Snap members will eventually receive it.
OpenAI also revealed access to its Whisper speech recognition system, which can be utilized for transcription, on Wednesday.
