> I use gpt4-turbo through the api many times a day for coding.

Why this instead of GPT-4 through the web app? And how do you actually use it for coding, do you copy and paste your question into a python script, which then calls the OpenAI API and spits out the response?




Not the op, but I also use it through API (specifically MacGPT). My initial justification was that I would save by only paying for what I use, instead of a flat $20/mo, but now it looks like I’m not even saving much.


I use it fairly similarly via a discord bot I've written. This lets me share usage w/ some friends (although has some limitations compared to the openai chatGPT app).
