OPENAI’S NEW “FLEX” MODE: CHEAP, SLOW, AND KINDA LAZY OpenAI just launched a budget option for its AI called Flex, and it’s basically the “yeah I’ll do it… eventually” version of their normal models. It costs half as much, but there’s a catch: it’s slower, might ghost you https://t.co/qNDyuFVdya https://t.co/xk3bMQAqKY

This is super interesting news. Kinda creative strategy to make the API pricing more flexible while keeping its customers sticky and staying competitive in AI model landscape. In a bid to more aggressively compete with rival AI companies like Google, OpenAI is launching Flex https://t.co/iP0CD2XPb8
