Has anyone managed to get access to GPT-3 since OpenAI licensed it to Microsoft? I'd like to build something using it at my company, but haven't heard of anyone getting access since before the announcement. Any tips would be welcomed.

I'm in the same boat, and nope, nothing but crickets. My best guess is that Microsoft is now using the application form as a way to crowdsource business development, as they look to exploit their exclusive license.

I'm inclined to agree with you, except that the experience is kind of making me give up on GPT-3. These social media fluff articles are actually a little irritating when you have a real, relevant use case and are waiting to get any sign of possible access, with no timelines, pricing or other public information.

There's a replication of GPT-3 freely available. The model is not as big, but the results are good for the size

Phrasing!

Yes, I got access after the announcement but signed up relatively early. They likely just have a long list of signups.

It's also not super hard to get really sexist completions. To OpenAI's credit, they seem to detect these pretty well and flag a warning, but it could also be why they are slow-rolling the availability.

Have you tried explaining your use case to any of the Open AI people directly via email? That seems to be the only feasible route tbh.

I got access a week or two ago, but I'd signed up a long time ago, IIRC even before the Microsoft license.
