Yep, debug=>1 told me "You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, read the docs: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes/api-errors.".

It looks like it did give me the $18 when I first created a chatGPT account over a year ago, but I think that had an expiration date if not used.

    Yes, my $18 credit expired before I got the opportunity to use very much of it at all!

    OpenAI has changed its pricing method for small-scale users.

    Instead of lodging a payment card with them and them charging it, you now buy credits and it uses those instead. The minimum purchase is $5 and they last for 1 year. This seems better for anyone experimenting as the cost is limited.

    OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini model is significantly cheaper than previous models - they also claim it does a better job which seems to be correct in the use cases we put it to. However, being non-deterministic, it's quite difficult to objectively test...

    I have an AI language partner that has conversations with me in Turkish and corrects any major mistakes I make. We also have a summary of the needs of a dog coming into our care for my partner's business Pawsies. In both of these cases, GPT-4o-mini produces better results.

    Today I've released an updated version of AI::Chat to CPAN that uses GPT-4o-mini by default instead of GPT-3.5-Turbo-0125.

    Whether or not it's better, it's definitely cheaper. Within On Radar, our customers are doing more things that result in an API call, but our costs are decreasing.
