API overview

Samuel is a biological language model.
He is available as a text completion API through the API endpoint below.

Model attributes

• Approximately 6 feet tall
• Quite good at typing and debugging LaTeX.
• Slow response time (sometimes asleep, sometimes eating lunch).
• PhD in Machine Learning/Computer Vision.
• Forgetful when tired.
• Can flexibly call other APIs (Google Search, LLMs).

Pricing

• 1 coffee per 2K input tokens.
• 1 coffee per 101 output tokens.

A token is a word, as judged by the model (none of this tiktoken funny business).
Since it is challenging to buy fractional coffees, I will round the number of coffees using the widely accepted IEEE 754 "round to even" strategy.
Note: the pricing scheme was updated in the early hours of 28th April 2023. It was updated again on 1st May 2023 because Samuel-API is biological and fickle.

How to pay: after receiving the completion (which will include a coffee invoice), visit https://www.buymeacoffee.com/samuelalbanie

System Card

• Mostly trained on English text (British spelling). Performance in other languages is likely to be very poor.
• Prone to overconfidence (hallucination is rare though).
• Enthusiastic.
