It turns out OpenAI have a GitHub repository with a 26,000 line YAML OpenAPI schema describing their full API - the same API that's emulated by all sorts of other tools within the LLM ecosystem. Made some notes on that here, plus a YAML exploration tool:

Seeing as the LLM world has semi-standardized on imitating OpenAI's API format for a whole host of different tools, it's useful to note that OpenAI themselves maintain a dedicated repository …

a core cultural thing at openai is “ship fast, ship early”. and that’s why we have the chat completions API
i mean, they were the first to put LLMs behind an API and that was brilliant. but the API itself blows chunks and we should all stop using it

This Disney-OpenAI deal is breaking my brain. It's not OpenAI paying for the right to use Disney characters, it's Disney paying THEM. All OpenAI does is give Disney access to its API so that they can use ChatGPT and Sora to replace their animators, other employees, and 3rd party contractors.

The current API revenues of Anthropic and OpenAI are driven predominantly by AI companies subsidizing their users' compute by 300% to 1000%. Once the industry moves away from that, API revenues may face a horrifying collapse.

So, naive question about these campuses that pay OpenAI $13mil/yr.
Why don’t they pour that money into a cluster running the strongest available open-weight model, with API and interactive options.
And if the answer is “overhead,” why aren’t we collaborating?

OpenAI is now required by court order to preserve all ChatGPT logs including "temporary chats" and API requests that would have been deleted
if I understand this correctly, it means data retention policies for apps that use OpenAI API simply cannot be honored

Cannot for the life of me work out how they're pricing this as their API page says it's "billed at the chosen language model's input and output rates."
But really, why isn't OpenAI building their own agents if their tech is so powerful?
