About
GPT-3.5 Turbo 16k, developed by OpenAI, is an advanced language model featuring a significantly enhanced context window of 16,384 tokens—four times larger than its predecessor's 4,096 tokens 245. This extension allows it to process and comprehend extended texts, up to approximately 20 pages, in a single interaction, while maintaining the speed and efficiency of earlier versions 10. Although it is a chat-centric model not compatible with the completions endpoint 8, it remains highly effective for tasks requiring prolonged relevance and coherence through OpenAI's API 46. With a knowledge cutoff in September 2021, it surpasses its predecessors in capability, yet it is less advanced than GPT-4 in visual and multilingual contexts 35.
GPT-3.5 Turbo 16k is a model in the GPT-3.5 family. The structured metadata tracks a 16k-token context window and structured outputs. This page tracks provider routes through Azure OpenAI, Salesforce Einstein Generative AI, and OpenRouter, with the cheapest tracked route listed at $0.5 input and $2 output per 1M tokens.
