we have heard enterprises on their concerns about AI costs, and 5.6 sol is a huge step forward for dollars-per-task, as are terra and luna
obviously the best model we have ever produced, but also one of the best blog posts we have ever produced:
5.6 livestream going now.
in addition to the model, 3 major product things.
- ChatGPT Work–really big deal!
- new ChatGPT desktop app
- hosted sites
it surely doesnt
@sama I want to give a feedback: everybody will be willing to pay higher if they get desired results. Chat GPT can determine intent of users, let the model decide and govern the cost per task.
Dollar per one task? Is @sama want to be number 2 rich man in the world?
