Important Note: Please note that OpenAI has recently discontinued its free tier, and using the API now requires payment. However, the costs for conversational AI purposes are quite low (About 20 cents for a full day of use). Microsoft Azure, which provides speech functionality, still offers a free tier that allows you to explore without additional expenses. If you wish to engage more extensively with the R1, you have the option to subscribe to the paid tiers of these services. Any associated costs would be direct transactions between you and OpenAI or Microsoft.

It is also possible to implement your own Local LLM and Speech service if you are so inclined.

The Ominous Industries R1 presents an exciting opportunity that is ideally tailored for individuals with a natural inclination towards technology.
