Hello dear community!
A pleasure to be part of.
I have some questions and I hope someone from the community can help me.
Is it possible that the Open AI API will soon be completely free?
How much is the approximate monthly cost of heavy API usage? [I know that the cost is given by tokens but I would like to hear the opinion of someone who is already paying]
Thank you very much for your kind time.
Happy rest of the day!
No, it costs them just as much as us to run it.
This depends on what you are using it for. It can be $5-$500.
Thnx 4 ur answers !!
I need the api just for text (no images audio or videos)
If you need a free alternative to the already cheap gpt-4o-mini then I would suggest investigating llama3 with a small param count. And if you have a requirement to use OpenAI API syntax there are many wrappers that allow you to code for OpenAI API syntax but utilize local LLMs such as llama.
