On Thursday, OpenAI announced that all paid API customers now have access to the GPT-4 API. He also introduced updates to chat-based templates, announced the move from the Completions API to the Chat Completions API, and outlined plans to retire older templates.
Generally considered its most powerful API product, the GPT-4 API was first released in March, but has been in closed testing so far. As an API, developers can use a special interface to integrate OpenAI's Large Language Model (LLM) into their own products for uses such as summarization, coding assistance, analysis, and composition . The model runs remotely on OpenAI's servers and provides output to other applications on the Internet.
OpenAI says the GPT-4 API with 8K context is available to existing developers who have a successful payment history, with plans to open access to new developers by the end of July. And in an effort to distance itself from the old GPT-3 style patterns, OpenAI has also chosen to start retiring the "Completions API" patterns in favor of the new Chat Completions API patterns. Since launching in March, OpenAI reports that its Chat Completions API templates now account for 97% of OpenAI's GPT API usage.
This retirement plan involves the retirement of models that are part of the Completions API in six months. Starting January 4, 2024, these older templates, which simply fill out a prompt instead of engaging in a chat-like dialog, will be replaced by newer versions, and developers using some of these templates will need to update upgrade their integration manually. For now, older models will remain available but will be labeled as "legacy" products. Here is a partial list of templates that will be deprecated:
ada
chat
curia
da Vinci
davinci-instruct-beta
curie-instruct-beta
text-ada-001
text-babbage-001
text-curie-001
text-davinci-001
text-davinci-002
text-davinci-003
OpenAI will provide instant replacements for these older models. For example, OpenAI recommends users of the text-davinci-003 template to switch to the gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct template instead. Similarly, the ada-002, babbage-002, curie-002, and davinci-002 models will replace earlier versions of each. Applications using some of these GPT-3 models (such as ada, babbage, curie, davinci) will be "automatically upgraded to the new models listed above on January 4, 2024", according to OpenAI.
OpenAI also announced that "based on the stability and readiness of these models for production-scale use" it is also rendering APIs for Whisper, DALL-E, and GPT -3.5 Turbo "generally available". And the company plans to continue refining models throughout the year.
Developers can find more details in OpenAI's blog post for the announcement.
