🤖️[Expired] The Self-hosted OpenAI ChatGPT API

💰Free of Charge in March.

Posted by Shicong Liu on March 5, 2023

Recently OpenAI have released the API of ChatGPT and charges it for 0.002 dollars per 1000 query tokens1. An $18 check has been given to the users for trial, and I therefore registered an api-key to make full use of it.

Thanks to the front-end engineers, an UI was given open-sourced2 to make it easier to deploy on the website. I have bought a vultr VPS and deployed it at this website. Feel free to chat with it since the given $18 check is far beyond individual consumption.

Just try it.

Mar. 5: Improved the temperature parameter to increase the diversity of answers.

Note that since some pre-defined prompts are in Chinese, the bot is more likely to use Mandarin, but is still able to speak other languages with proper queries. This deployment actually plays a role in avoiding some proxy censorships.
