That's also why I think OpenAI is in a tough spot in the long run. They just threw as much expensive hardware as they could to build this moat. There's basically two things which can happen from now on:
- Some scalability breakthrough will appear, if that's the case their moat disappears pretty much instantly and the cost of LLMs will plunge close to zero being a commodity. That's the future I'm betting on from what's happening now.
- No scalability breakthrough will appear and then it means that they will have a hard time to expand further as seen as the gpt4 limited access.
Either way, they are in a tough spot.

Pretty easy to get API access, I got it within a few days. Aware this is a sample of one, but also can’t believe they fast tracked me.

It took me several weeks to get access. I just got it today.

I've been waiting a little over a month with no update so far, but I don't expect any sort of fast track since I'm not currently a paying customer.

Are you using the gpt3 api?

Big, known companies are already getting their GPT-4 fix via Azure OpenAI Service, where they can get meaningful guarantees for their data, and even on-prem if they really want it.

We have gpt-4 deployed to production being used by fortune 100 labels.
API access is on waitlist.
UI has limit of 25 messages in 3 hours.
If you think big, known companies can get ahead of the waitlist and use it - short answer is no, they can't because of their IP. Nobody is going to sign off leaking out all internal knowledge to play with something.
ClosedAI seems to have big problem with capacity.
