How many people think OpenAI API will still be available by this time next week? Clearly the employee base has lost faith in the organization - Is Azure a safe place to move workloads from OpenAI too?
Azure seems like the safest place. MS has full rights to run GPT models independently. The OpenAI APIs are absolutely in question. The board is fully rogue and they could make literally any decision, including shutting off public access. They have alienated their employees, their leadership, Microsoft, VCs, and the developer community. They have nothing left to lose and seem ready to let the current iteration of the company disappear.
Reading on X employees have ensured the uptime during this current situation, and from what I read no employee wants to affect users of what we're building and what they have achieved. Will the company be the same hmm who knows, regardless I see the API's remaining stable Microsoft will make sure of that.<p>Yes also Azure is a good backup anyway now or anytime, you can fall over to the Azure API with a key change and a url.
I think it's not necessarily accurate to predict the worst-case scenario.<p>I would argue that Sam will be back as CEO and OpenAI will still be here in years.
