Heres me making a blank post because OpenAI mods REFUSE to delete them themselves. Delted post. deleted post.
It’s a huge risk to release an LLM wrapper while:
OpenAI
- continues to build their walled garden and desperately seek a moat
- is okay with burning A LOT of money to give access to everyone
- does NOT release available ChatGPT features for the API in a timely manner
In all manners any developer is at a huge disadvantage while GPT is the leading LLM. You won’t be able to match their pricing, you won’t be able to match their features, and you will be playing constant catch-up as they do not release any technical information of upcoming updates.
Anything that doesn’t use GPT as a driver, but as an assistant to augment current services.
This doesn’t mean “Chatbot to do dumb things like write SQL queries or improve my resume”. But something that is added to the pipeline to help transform content. ESPECIALLY when it comes to analyzing/working with unstructured semantics.
I think from our time being here (nice seeing you again) that we see OpenAI constantly bulldozing upcoming business ideas and applications using their technology.
An API “wrapper” is only useful for those clients that OpenAI doesn’t want to do business with, or who find the fraud resistance of OpenAI too high.
An API product also leaves you vulnerable to those who compete directly against you with free service enticements and for what you must pay for. See Forefront chat - used to have monthly subscriptions and AI personalities: shut down.
Microsoft putting GPT-4 in every OS, as a reward for turning your OS into a payment system vending machine.
