In recent news, OpenAI made two significant announcements that are set to enhance the capabilities of its AI models and broaden their accessibility to users.
GPT-4 API Now Available to All Paying Customers
The first announcement is the general availability of the GPT-4 API to all paying customers. GPT-4, OpenAI’s most capable model, has been in high demand since its introduction, with millions of developers requesting access. The API is now accessible to all existing API developers with a history of successful payments, and OpenAI plans to open up access to new developers by the end of the month.
The GPT-4 API comes with 8K context, and OpenAI plans to start raising rate-limits depending on compute availability. The company also announced the general availability of GPT-3.5 Turbo, DALL·E, and Whisper APIs, based on their stability and readiness for production-scale use. OpenAI is also working on enabling fine-tuning for GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 Turbo, with this feature expected to be available later this year.
In line with these developments, OpenAI has announced a deprecation plan for older models of the Completions API, recommending users to adopt the Chat Completions API. The older models will retire at the beginning of 2024.

Code Interpreter for ChatGPT+ Users
The second announcement is the rollout of the code interpreter feature to all ChatGPT Plus users over the next week. This feature allows ChatGPT to run code, optionally with access to files uploaded by the user. This means users can ask ChatGPT to analyze data, create charts, edit files, perform math, and more.
The code interpreter feature will be made accessible to Plus users on the web via the beta panel in user settings over the course of the next week.
