OpenAI recently announced that they would release the AI model of ChatGPT to the public, following the chatbot service’s immense success, reaching over 100 million users in less than 2 months. The company plans to offer the public model at a price that is 10 times cheaper than the predecessor, though specific pricing details have not yet been released.
The newer March 1st GPT 3.5 Turbo model is now priced at $0.002 per 1,000 tokens (approximately equal to 750 words), which is 10x cheaper than OpenAI’s existing GPT-3.5 models. OpenAI also claims that GPT 3.5 Turbo is the company’s best model for many non-chat use cases as the company has seen early clients migrate from GPT 3 (text-davinci-003) to GPT 3.5 Turbo (gpt-3.5-turbo) with only a small amount of adjustment needed to their prompts.
Besides releasing its latest chat-based large language model, OpenAI also announced its latest Whisper AI model as well, which brings better speech-to-text capabilities to its newest API. Whisper, the speech-to-text model OpenAI open-sourced back in September 2022, has been upgraded to a larger version 2 model, which is now available through OpenAI’s APIs.

Whisper API is available through the organization’s transcriptions (transcribes in the source language) or translations (transcribes into English) endpoints, and accepts a variety of formats (m4a, mp3, mp4, mpeg, mpga, wav, webm). OpenAI has set the price at $0.006 per minute.
During the launch, OpenAI announced that its latest March 1st API is now available to early clients, including Snapchat with its new ChatGPT AI-powered chatbot. The company hopes that its new AI models, which are now available to developers, will lead to numerous applications that benefit everyone.
