Free/Alternate is always the most expensive
Just like buying lipstick in our life, we always want to find a replacement, but we can never match the one we like!
But in the process of finding a replacement
The time and money spent are doubled.
What about GPT-4?
GPT-4 is better than GPT-3.5, everyone must be very clear
It is far superior to GPT-3.5 in terms of logical judgment, language understanding, semantic analysis, and code repair.
Because of this, openAI has priced it at $19.9/month
And the token is limited every day, and only 25 chats can be made within 3 hours
Is it starvation marketing?
No
In fact, the cost it has to pay is much higher than the pricing for individual users.
So is it free for domestic use?
Yes, but the number of times is limited
Zhihu, Xiaopozhan, and CSDN all have a lot of mirror websites and GPT software connected to the API, but they all adopt restrictive measures on GPT-4
As far as I know there are five

So, what exactly are mirror sites and commercial APIs?
A mirror website is a website with the same or very similar content as the original website, usually by copying or backing up all files of the original website. These sites may be used to improve access speed, provide additional redundant backups, or serve as an alternate route of access if the original site is blocked or inaccessible.
Mirror sites usually contain the same articles, images, and downloadable files, but domain names and servers may vary. In some cases, the page structure or style of the Mirror Site may vary slightly. This allows users to still access the content they need if the original site fails. Mirror sites are especially common in the world of software and open source projects, so that users can download software from multiple servers, improving download speed and stability.
The mirror website has a high risk index and may be blocked by openAI at any time.
So, what is the so-called commercial API?
A commercial API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of specifications and tools that define how to request, interact and obtain information or services from a software application or system. APIs enable different software applications to communicate with each other and share data in an understandable and executable manner. Commercial organizations and enterprises leverage APIs to provide external developers, partners, and customers with access to and use of their internal services and data.
The GPT software that connects to the commercial API is paid directly from the openAI company to call the interface. To put it simply, it is genuine authorization.
How do I choose?
Everyone's starting point is different. If you just want to try something new, you can use any one. As long as there is a free quota, you can count on which one you meet, and you can change it if you can't.
If you want to work and study for a long time, it is recommended to choose the commercial API version. At least the genuine license can provide long-term and stable services, and you don't have to worry about being blocked at any time.
