Open AI API no longer free
I think the OpenAI APIs are no longer free, since I am getting an error saying that my billing details are not updated. Is there an alternative to how I can get free API usage?

Hi Lokesh,
OpenAI previously offered free trial credits for their API services, but this practice has been discontinued. Currently, to access OpenAI's API, users are required to add billing details and purchase credits.
One free open source alternative is Hugging Face Transformers: they offer a variety of pre-trained models that can be used locally. While the models are free, be aware that running them may incur computational costs.
Best,
Ned
