OpenAI’s GPT models get a major upgrade

What: Building AI-powered apps is now easier than ever. OpenAI released a new feature called “Function calls” that uses your text input to generate arguments for external functions!

GPT models can now detect when a function needs to be called and respond with JSON that adheres to the function signature!

OpenAI also increased the context length in a single request to 16K tokens, roughly equal to 20 pages of text.

The pricing of embedding models is slashed by 75% to $0.0001 per 1K tokens, and GPT-3.5 models are now 25% cheaper. This roughly equates to 700 pages per dollar!

Why this matters: You could move parts of your “business logic” to AI models! This is huge as LLMs play a bigger role in your apps - along with processing your data, the AI also decides when and how to do process it, paving the way for AI systems to interact without you having to write code.
