“48 hours of conversation with GPT-4“

Heh, sounds like a novel form of torture. The author probably means 48 hours total over a (much) longer time, and it had all been an enjoyable ride of turbocharged learning and discovery, but that's not how it reads to my eyes.

GPT-4 is still limited to 25 queries/3 hours and that is likely why it took longer.

Every 3 hours. But also, if you have API access you can use the OpenAI playground to query GPT-4 as much as you want. Sure, you pay a cost (per token), but if you're willing to front the bill you can move pretty quickly.

The API rate limit is 40k tokens per minute (I’ve hit it with a personal project).

That's high enough for most users, I reckon.

40k tokens per minute is enough for most users is the next "640K ought to be enough for anybody"

Indeed, if context lengths grow to millions of tokens, and prices are cheap enough, I could see users feeding their entire codebase in to ask a simple question about it - or feed in every email from their inbox to find something specific they're looking for, or use as style/content guides to write a response.

Typo on phone, fixed it. Thanks!
