ChatGPT, the AI chatbot that became popular upon its debut, launched an API service today. Companies, products or services that are interested in this technology can import it into their own applications through this function. In order to promote its own products, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman actually used CryptoPunk on Twitter to highlight the advantages of this service.
ChatGPT API service
According to the official announcement, the model behind the ChatGPT API is "gpt-3.5-turbo", which is the same AI model as the ChatGPT product. The price per 1,000 tokens (character units) is US$0.002, which is higher than the current existing GPT-3.5 model. 10 times cheaper. In addition, in addition to chatbots, this API can also be used in other non-chat related applications.
In addition to the ChatGPT API, OpenAI's speech-to-text model "Whisper" is also open for use at the same time. The price is US$0.006 per minute and supports translation or transcription of files in multiple formats (m4a, mp3, mp4 and mpeg, etc.).
ChatGPT and Whisper are now available through our API (plus developer policy updates). We developers: https://t.co/vpoyxZ7XnD

OpenAI CEO uses CryptoPunk to promote product
To promote how cheap its product is, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman used CryptoPunks to make an interesting comparison.
It said that every 1 million tokens used through the ChatGPT API only costs 2 US dollars. In comparison, the money needed to spend on one Alien token can use 10 trillion ChatGPT tokens!
Note: Alien token refers to CryptoPunk, which was sold for 8,000 ETH (approximately $23.7 million at the time) in February last year. Sam Altman means that NFT can also be regarded as a kind of token.
for the feb 2022 price of one alien token (https://t.co/nd3lqQsOtE) you can have 10,000,000,000,000 ChatGPT tokens!!
