OpenAI has recently announced updates in their API offerings, introducing new embedding models, an updated GPT-4 Turbo, moderation models, new API management tools, and reduced pricing for GPT-3.5 Turbo.

Key Takeaways:

  1. New Embedding Models: OpenAI introduced two new embedding models – text-embedding-3-small and text-embedding-3-large. The small model is more efficient and cheaper, improving the multi-language retrieval (MIRACL) score from 31.4% to 44.0%, and the English tasks (MTEB) score from 61.0% to 62.3%. The larger model provides up to 3072 dimensions, significantly enhancing performance on benchmarks.
  2. Reduced Pricing: The new text-embedding-3-small model’s pricing has been reduced by 5X compared to its predecessor, while the text-embedding-3-large will cost $0.00013 per 1k tokens.
  3. GPT-3.5 Turbo Updates and Price Reduction: A new GPT-3.5 Turbo model is being introduced, with a 50% reduction in input prices and a 25% reduction in output prices. It also includes improvements for higher accuracy and bug fixes for non-English language function calls.
  4. Updated GPT-4 Turbo Preview: The new GPT-4 Turbo model will offer updated knowledge cutoff, larger context windows, and reduced prices. It’s designed to complete tasks like code generation more thoroughly and address issues of task completion.
  5. New Moderation Model: OpenAI is releasing an updated moderation model, text-moderation-007, which is more robust and efficient in identifying potentially harmful text.
  6. Future Plans: OpenAI plans to launch GPT-4 Turbo with vision in the coming months and improve API usage management and key controls, especially for larger organizations.
  7. Enhanced API Management: Developers now have improved tools to manage API keys and understand usage, including assigning permissions to keys and tracking usage metrics at an API key level.
