@firstuserhere i don't understand, gpt3.5 was free for already a long time. It just needs to stay free at every point of the year?
@KongoLandwalker unless GPT-3.5 is not offered anymore, for example. Maybe gpt-4 becomes available for free instead of 3.5, maybe just the turbo, maybe its just a locked service to manage server load while offering SORA like services. see markets by @Soli
@firstuserhere but if free 3.5 is replaced by free 4.0 that is still "service being free through the year".
