Curie (fine tuning) GPT-3
$0.012When fine-tuning a GPT model like Curie, you are fine-tuning the GPT-3 base model (not the instruction-oriented variant of GPT-3). Fine-tuning involves taking the pre-trained base model and further training it on your specific dataset or task to enhance its performance. Fine-tuning allows OpenAI API customers to leverage the power of pre-trained GPT-3 language models, such as Curie, while tailoring them to their specific needs (the fine-tuning process allows a model to specialize in a specific task or context, making it more efficient and effective for a particular use case, which can help to reduce costs and latency for high-volume tasks). You are also able to continue fine-tuning a fine-tuned model to add additional data without having to start from scratch.Curie is a larger variant of GPT-3, offering more sophisticated language capabilities. It is a good choice for tasks requiring a deeper understanding of context or more complex language generation. Note: There are two fine-tuning costs to be aware of, a one-time training cost and a pay-as-you-go usage cost. -
OpenAI
Curie Instruct model
$0.002Open AI’s Instruct model Curie is very capable and is faster and costs less than Davinci. Curie can understand and generate natural language. InstructGPT models are sibling models to ChatGPT. They are built on GPT-3 models but made to be safer, more helpful, and more aligned to users’ needs using a technique called reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF). Instruct models are meant to generate text with a clear instruction, and they are not optimized for conversational chat. Instruct models are optimized to follow single-turn instructions (e.g., specifically designed to follow instructions provided in a prompt). Developers can use Instruct models for extracting knowledge, generating text, performing NLP tasks, automating tasks involving natural language, and translating languages. Instruct model also make up facts less often than GPT-3 base models and show slight decreases in toxic output generation. Access is available through a request to OpenAI’s API.

Electra
FREEELECTRA (Efficiently Learning an Encoder that Classifies Token Replacements Accurately) is a transformer-based model like BERT, but it uses a different pre-training approach, which is more efficient and requires less computational resources. It was created by a team of researchers from Google Research, Brain Team, and Stanford University. ELECTRA models are trained to distinguish “real” input tokens vs “fake” input tokens generated by another neural network (for the more technical audience, ELECTRA uses a new pre-training task, called replaced token detection (RTD), that trains a bidirectional model while learning from all input positions). Inspired by generative adversarial networks (GANs), ELECTRA trains the model to distinguish between “real” and “fake” input data. At small scale, ELECTRA achieves strong results even when trained on a single GPU. At large scale, ELECTRA achieves state-of-the-art results on the SQuAD 2.0 dataset. Go to GitHub where you can access the three models (ELECTRA-Small, ELECTRA-Base and ELECTRA-Large). -
