Hi, there:
I’ve run several prompts in the GPT-4 Playground and noticed significant credit usage. Does using the Playground for GPT-4 incur the same token costs as direct API calls?
Regards,
David

Answer:
Yes, using the Playground with models like GPT-4 incurs the same token usage costs as making API calls. The Playground simply provides a web interface for interacting with the API, so any requests made there are billable in the same way as requests made via your own API calls.
For example, if you send a prompt using GPT-4 in the Playground, the tokens consumed (for both input and output) are charged according to the applicable pricing for GPT-4.
Keep in mind that some models or usage tiers might have different pricing structures, so it's a good idea to review the current pricing details on the official pricing page if you need precise cost estimates.
Hope this helps!
