I’ve tinkered with a Discord bot using the official gpt3.5 API. It’s astonishingly cheap. Using the 3.5-turbo model, I’ve never cracked $1 in a month and usually am just a couple cents a week. Obviously this would be different if you’re running a business with it or something, but for personal use like answering questions, writing short blurbs, and entertaining us while drunk…it’s not bad at all in my experience.
Of the language models you can run locally, I’ve found them to be awkward to use and not perform too well. If anyone knows of any newer ones that do a better job I’d love to know.
Is it cost prohibitive to adopt your own chatgpt?
