I always ask myself the following pseudo-question: "for this geneneration/classification task, do I need to be more intelligent than an average highschool student?" Almost always in business tasks, the answer is a no. Therefore I go with GPT3.5. Its much quicker and good enough to accomplish the task usually.
And then I need to run this task thousands of times, so the API limits are the most limiting factor, which are much higher in GPT3.5 variants, whereas when using GPT4 I have to be more careful with limiting/queueing requests.
I patiently wait for a efficient enough model that only needs to be on a GPT3.5 level I can self-host alongside my applications with reasonably low server requirements. No need for GPT-5 for now, for business automations the lower end of "intelligence" is more than enough, but efficiency/scaling is the real deal.
Do you mind sharing some tasks that you are solving with GPT 3.5? Be very concrete, if you don't mind. I am struggling to make it work for my business use cases (i.e. the ones where I am looking for "reliably helpful") and am very much looking for inspiration to define the limits. The hypothetical is interesting but seems to not do too much for me on its own.
