OPENAI ROLLS OUT BIG CHATBOT API UPGRADES FOR DEVELOPERS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

OpenAI has announced a sizable update to its large language model API offerings. A 16,000 context window version of gpt-3.5-turbo is now available, allowing developers to process around 20 pages of text in a single request. A new feature called function calling allows developers to more easily build chatbots capable of calling external tools, convert natural language into external API calls, or make database queries. The offerings update includes many price reductions. Some models will soon be deprecated.
