Experimenting with other ways to use the OpenAI API, and one thing that has struck me is the price difference between GPT 3.5 and GPT 4. It is dramatic. If it wasn’t for the token limit of 3.5, I’d just use that for everything. It’s still good.

@pratik In theory, yes, but I much prefer rolling the cost into Micro.blog Premium, like we do for podcast transcription. That way the user doesn’t have to think about it, and we just eat the extra 25 cents or whatever it might be. Just need to be careful with GPT 4 because it can add up.

@manton Really makes the $20/month for GPT Plus feel like a pretty solid value

@aaronschendel Yeah, $20/month for Plus is a fair price. It really is way more powerful.

the new pricing almost makes it free. Opened up a lot more features for me. You can always chain calls if you’re looking for something longer??

@jhull Interesting, I hadn’t thought about chaining. My current experiment is summarizing web pages, so I pass the whole text to it. I use GPT 3.5 if it’s short enough, otherwise GPT 4. Not sure if it would be as good if split apart.

I do it all the time with screenplays. Summarize scenes, then acts, then use gpt-4 to analyze. Any summary/meta stuff I run through 3, heavy reasoning “thinking” goes through 4. Works quite well.
