Ask HN: Anyone know any OpenAI API hosted alternatives?

I am explicitly looking for API alternatives (not guis) to call GPT-3 models (don't necessarily need ChatGPT memory behavior)

Unfortunately, OpenAI's api offering has slowed down a lot and is extremely inconsistent in response times. (I'm assuming they are struggling to scale and/or sometimes you get session-ed up with a congested data centre)

This is a pretty common theme for the past few months in their community forums -> https://community.openai.com/t/api-gpt-3-5-turbo-sucks-slow/147230/8

If anyone knows a less congested alternative I would greatly appreciate it (don't mind if it's of lesser quality responses)
