Hey @pencilllc, welcome to the OpenAI community.

And absolutely, you can utilize GPT to build some really powerful apps.

In terms of what I used to build mine, I use the React programming language, firebase for authentication, OpenAI for my AI of course and express.js for by backend. Highly recommend this stack if you are a beginner.

That’s pretty cool man. What application did you built? Love to try it out

Seeing this 503 error as well today. Any way to mitigate what is going on here?

8

Nope, but apparently it’s been fixed (status.openai.com)

This is really, really poor. How are we supposed to integrate GPT3 if half the time it’s not even available?

9

AGAIN? It’s a joke at this point.

All of you that pay OpenAI for the use of any API should demand the company to protect your investment in the technology against those that dabble / play for free…

Another outage! Keep getting 503 errors and 429 Errors on the GPT-3 API which given that I’m in testing cannot possibly be correct. Anybody know anything about openai addressing these issues?

P.S. the status page indicates all systems are operational…

Same, I’m getting a lot of 503 errors and 429 Errors for completions GPT 3 endpoint.

429’s and 503 are becoming way too common. We really need a dedicated, robust server for paying customers only! Customer support never replies. I reply to them, and their next email is “Are you satisfied with our help? Thank you!”

I really hope they aren’t using AI to reply to us, ironic, but extremely unhelpful.

Yeah this is concerning.
Are we able to

  • make a fork of their GPT platform/source and
  • deploy it to our own servers on say AWS so we
  • have our own instance serving our own requests
  • for only our app
  • on a completely separate server?

Similar to how Wordpress lets users deploy the entire Wordpress platform/source to their own servers?

16

No, and that will never be possible

18

Why do you think it will never be possible? :thinking:

its still here, having these issues every single evening

I’m having a ton of these issues myself. iIs pretty bad since my app makes 3 requests to accomplish a task so it has to pass all 3.

Time to start using those investment dollars guys.

Finally converted to a paid account but getting 503s today :pensive:. It’s going to be hard to build anything on top of an unreliable API.

@manphilip nice seeing you here!

23

They just announced they’re making an API for ChatGPT. Why not make sure that GPT3 actually works reliably before creating something new?

24

I am getting 503 requests half the time with the API. Very unreliable feature from a business standpoint.

25

Spent a lot of time on my project thinking of shelving it because the api is still unreliable :frowning: Ironic how Small Altman was expresident of YC and does not seem to care about his customers lol
