Right now, ChatGPT doesn't support Plus payment.
The reason is simple: High demand. The demand was so great that OpenAI had to suspend sales of Plus.
It is not clear when it will open after that.
A few days ago, ChatGPT caused heated discussions due to large-scale bans, and now it is closing the application for Plus paid membership.
Many netizens attributed to the lack of computing resources, and it is no longer a problem that can be solved by money. Microsoft also has to provide its own user group.
There is no longer enough computing power on Earth to meet the demand.
There are also netizens who have paid to rejoice: I really can't imagine the day of returning to GPT-3.5.
ChatGPT turns off Plus paying
As soon as the news came out, it instantly sparked heated discussions on Reddit, and the related topics reached 570+ discussions.
Many netizens believe that this is not completely without warning. In fact, in actual experience, GPT-4's response is getting slower and slower, and there are many wrong answers.
As expected. 10%-15% of information has network errors that are at least 200% slower than before.
One ChatGPT API user said that there are a lot of latency errors, which indicates that it is overloaded in many ways.
So, someone directly shouted Microsoft: please fulfill your promise to provide more servers.
Prior to this, Microsoft was revealed to have spent hundreds of millions of dollars specifically on ChatGPT to create a dedicated supercomputer composed of tens of thousands of NVIDIA A100.
Even the server architecture has been adjusted specifically for this purpose, just to provide better computing power for ChatGPT and New Bing.
Not only that, Microsoft has also deployed hundreds of thousands of GPUs in more than 60 data centers in Azure for ChatGPT inference.
But now it seems that hundreds of millions of dollars worth of computing resources are not enough.
In addition, on Microsoft's side, some netizens found that Bing was also slow on Sunday. The OpenAI co-founder has also complained about the lack of GPUs. At the end of the day, we are very short of GPUs.
Netizen: New marketing methods?
As more netizens found that new users could not update to Plus, some doubts appeared:
Could this be a marketing ploy?
Turn off the feature for a few days so people can start talking about it.
What do you think about this?
