The ChatGPT API costs $0.002 per 1,000 tokens (about 750 words). Furthermore, it is providing a dedicated-capacity alternative for wealthy developers that anticipate using more tokens than the normal API enables. The new developer choices complement ChatGPT Plus, a $20-per-month subscription that launched in February.
The open-source Whisper speech-to-text model that OpenAI debuted in September is now available as part of its hosted Whisper API. “We provided a model, but it was not enough to compel the entire developer ecosystem to build around it,” said OpenAI president and co-founder Greg Brockman on Tuesday. “The Whisper API is the same huge model that you can obtain open source, but we’ve optimised to the utmost. It’s significantly faster and more convenient.” The transcription API will cost developers $0.006 per minute and will enable “robust” transcription in many languages as well as English translation.
