OpenAI opens up GPT-4 API to paying users.

On July 06, OpenAI announced that the GPT-4 API is now open to all paid OpenAI API customers, and the APIs of GPT-3.5 Turbo, DALL·E, and Whisper are also fully open.

OpenAI is also testing the fine-tuning capabilities of GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 Turbo, which are expected to open later this year.

In March of this year, OpenAI officially released GPT-4 , which is a multi-modal large-scale language model (supporting image and text input and output in text form).

In addition, OpenAI also announced that some versions will be retired in 2024.

OpenAI said that all paid OpenAI API customers can now access the GPT-4 API with 8K tokens context.

In addition, OpenAI plans to open access to new developers by the end of this month and start to increase the rate limit according to computing resources.

OpenAI is currently testing the fine-tuning feature on GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 Turbo, which is expected to be available later this year.

In addition, OpenAI announced that it will retire some old models using the Completions API within 6 months. The old model phase-out plan will be implemented from January 4, 2024.
