OpenAI introduces ChatGPT API and Whisper API for developers

AI Impact Summary

OpenAI introduces dedicated ChatGPT API for conversational tasks and Whisper API for speech-to-text, enabling developers to embed turnkey AI capabilities without hosting models locally. This capability pair unlocks workflows for customer support bots, voice-driven apps, and media transcription by feeding ChatGPT for dialog context and Whisper for audio input. Expect pricing, rate limits, and data handling implications as teams start integrating these endpoints into production, and plan for input modality routing and observability across both APIs.
