GPT-3 is discontinued today

GPT-3 has been discontinued, marking the end of an era for many who were introduced to modern language models through it. The suggested replacement, GPT-5.6 Terra, is considered infuriating by some, given that models like Babbage are significantly smaller than MiniCPM5 2B, and even Luna might be overkill. Davinci, the most commonly used GPT-3 variant, is not easily replaced, highlighting the importance of local models that are not subject to universal end-of-life dates.
