I am a volunteer helping an effort to document Russian losses in Ukraine (see poteru.net). We are a group of mostly Russian nationals (though, I personally, am not) and anti-war activists.
There are messages posted on social media like funeral announcements (for example on VK.com). What we are trying to do is to create a detailed and accessible public database of Russian casualties in the current war.
What I am trying to do is to automate the process of extracting (name, dates, place of residence, rank, etc.) from an announcement. These messages are posted in all sorts of formats and often later need to be cross-referenced with already identified data. So far most of the effort has been manual. However, I am working on incorporating GPT4 (earlier versions give much worse results) to extract the necessary data.
Is there a program to request tokens for a non-commercial, public effort from OpenAI?
Thank you!

Azure has a large portion of the openai api available under its OpenAI Studio portion of its offering. Might be worth checking out?
