(I work at OpenAI.)

We've been ramping up our invites from the waitlist — our Slack community has over 18,000 members — but we still are only a small fraction of way through. We've been really overwhelmed with the demand and have been scaling our team and processes to be able to meet it.

We can also often accelerate invites for people who do have a specific application they'd like to build. Please feel free to email me ([email protected]) and I may be able to help. (As a caveat, I get about a hundred emails a week, so I can't reply to all of them — but know that I will do my best.)

Thank you for your open and honest response. I've been on the waiting list for a few months myself and it's great to hear that Open AI is ramping up to meet the enormous demand for GPT-3.

Can you explain why this is not fully open to paying customers?

AFAIK the list never moves and you basically have to know someone at openAI.

Same.
