The Wizards API offers capabilities such as Code Interpreter and Recoveryas well as function calls to facilitate the development of high-quality AI applications.
Text to Speech (TTS)
Developers now have the ability to generate high-quality speech from text using the Text-to-Speech (TTS) API. This new version offers six preset voices and two model variants, tts-1 and tts-1-hd. TTS is optimized for real-time use cases, while tts-1-hd focuses on quality. Prices start at $0.015 per 1,000 characters of input.
Monetization
In addition to these exciting news, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, made an equally significant announcement during the event. From now on, users will have the ability to create their own assistants with ChatGPT 4 Turbo and make them available to other users. This new functionality opens a world of possibilities, since will allow users to generate income based on the number of people who use the assistant they developed.
However, it is important to note that, at least for the moment, This feature will be restricted to users who have Enterprise accounts. This measure seeks to ensure high-quality, controlled use of wizard creation capacity, while providing developers with a unique opportunity to monetize their creations and offer custom solutions to a broader audience.
