EDIT: The answer appears to be "sign up to platform.openai.com instead of ChatGPT, because then you only get charged for the tokens you use, and not the $20/month ChatGPT charge"
Thanks to everyone who answered, I'm up and running, I'll feedback if it starts costing too much!
I don't have the money or the interest to spend on running a local LLM, so I want to run hosted.
I've noticed the OpenAI API is billed "per million tokens" rather than ChatGPT which is billed at $20USD/month, so I'm starting to work out how much it will cost me to run OpenAI as the backend for my HA setup.
Please note that I am only interested in hearing from people who are already running OpenAI with HA - if you're not doing this, I'm sure your project is awesome and if this doesn't work then I'll definitely be interested in what I should use instead, but right now I need this specific question answered.
Thanks in advance for your time!
