VENDORiQ: OpenAI Soon to Launch Developer Platform for Larger Workloads

Why It’s Important

One of Foundry’s features that will create a huge impact in the AI initiatives of large enterprises is its static allocation, so clients can control their dedicated compute units when developing applications on top of foundational models. This is a cost-effective solution given the huge improvement in the context length for more memory and recall since it will now support 32,000 tokens, or eight times larger than the current Text-Davinci-003 model at 4,096.

In addition, Foundry’s total three-month commitment runs at USD468,000 for 600 units or instance, to more than USD1.5 million for a 1-year commitment – a pricing structure that caters only to the AI development project budget of large organisations. It comes as no surprise then why OpenAI is currently in talks with Spotify, Bain and Coca-Cola.
