OpenAI reveals the pricing plans for its API -- and it ain't cheap

OpenAI has revealed the projected pricing plans for its API, which lets people use the company's vaunted AI tools on "virtually any English language task." But you're gonna need money to burn if you wanna try it out. The API gives users access to GPT-3, OpenAI's headline-grabbing text generator. The company says developers can apply it "to any language task -- semantic search, summarization, sentiment analysis, content generation, translation, and more -- with only a few examples or by specifying your task in English." The product was initially launched in a free, two-month private beta on July 11.
