| OpenAI does the same, indeed definitely much more often than Microsoft and probably more often than even Google. In fairness, it's all tagged beta. However: 1) Models change. Things I did a year or two ago behave differently, and usually stupider. 2) OpenAI just announced they're killing GPT-3 and other older models. It's annoying, since I like GPT-3. It doesn't have "safety" built in, which makes it better at a lot of creative work. If you have other models baked into your codebase, you're looking at a massive migration. Extra credit: Find any public information from OpenAI about this. See how long it takes you. (in fairness, customers did receive an email) 3) OpenAI decided to kill the completion API. This is annoying, since a lot of my uses don't look like a chatbot. I understand chatbot is THE killer app that's come up, but a lot of stuff works better as, well, completion. Indeed, something broke in the past month since I am getting Extra credit: Same as above. A normal company would continue to include this stuff on e.g. their pricing page marked "deprecated," have announcement, etc. Here, it's like GPT-3 never existed. And I really miss the old soulful models. There's a major move towards open-source models in my industry since a lot of things built a year ago on OpenAI no longer work or at least no longer work the same. Critically, you can't validate apps built on cloud-based services since you have no idea when models change and your app might suddenly do something dumb. |
