    Whenever I get abnormally slow results or high rates of errors from GPT-4, I used to go and check the official OpenAI status site. But mostly it would always show green when I was experiencing issues. So Eliot who I work with built this little utility - an unofficial OpenAI status dashboard. It's designed to answer the question of "is GPT slow for everyone right now or just for me" and "is GPT having elevated rates of errors for everyone right now or just for me" It's aimed at API users but may also be useful for ChatGPT errors/slowness, I'm not sure. Possible features we're thinking…

    Hey HN, we've been working with OpenAI for the past few months on the new Realtime API. The goal is to give everyone access to the same stack that underpins Advanced Voice in the ChatGPT app. Under the hood it works like this: - A user's speech is captured by a LiveKit client SDK in the ChatGPT app - Their speech is streamed using WebRTC to OpenAI’s voice agent - The agent relays the speech prompt over websocket to GPT-4o - GPT-4o runs inference and streams speech packets (over websocket) back to the agent - The agent relays generated speech using WebRTC back to the user’s device The…

    Hey everyone, We have been building SecureAI Tools -- an open-source application layer for ChatGPT and ChatPDF-like AI tools. It works with locally running LLMs as well as with OpenAI-compatible APIs. For local LLMs, it supports Ollama which supports all the gguf/ggml models. Currently, it has two features: Chat-with-LLM, and Chat-with-PDFs. It is optimized for self-hosting use cases and comes with basic user management features. Here are some quick demos: * Chat with documents using OpenAI's GPT3.5 model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br2D3G9O47s * Chat with documents…

    I got seriously fascinated by the new GPT-4 Vision API introduced on OpenAI DevDay, so I decided to build a UX Audit tool with it. It's pretty simple to use - just go to https://uxaudit.vercel.app and enter your homepage or landing page URL. I'm using urlbox to get a screenshot of your page, then I utilize GPT-4V to analyze the screenshot and find potential usability and conversion issues. It also suggests solutions and highlights the relevant problem areas in the screenshot (although the position is sometimes inaccurate). Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions on how to…
