So, before I get to the budgeting advice, I want to remind folks that Sudowrite is tuned for fiction and narrative. I get 1,139 generated words, and I’m “charged” 1,172 words for that run. Now, just to double-check, I cut and paste the 2862 words into a new document, let Sudowrite suggest, and ran it again. I was “charged” 1,242 account words for 1187 generated words. We started this with 268,776 words in my account, and now I’m down to 267,534 words. I allow Sudo to make 3 suggestions, and I choose one.Īccording to Scrivener (again) Sudowrite generated 1187 words. My creativity is set to 2 (1 Least –> 5 Most). I’m not using any key details, I’m asking for 6 cards with 250 words each. With the same 2862 words in my document, I switch to Guided. Note: Keep in mind the “stuff” could just be differences in how it counts words and how Scrivener counts words. (This time it charged me for the 398 actual words it generated for me and 12 other words for…um, stuff.) If I hit it again changing nothing, I get 3 cards with 398 words on it, and I’m left with 268,776 words in my account-the second button click burned 410 words. (The 356 actual words it gave me and 20 other words for…um, stuff.) The words I have left in my account are 269,186, which meant I was “billed” 376 words to run that action and get those 3 cards of goodies. Sudowrite output 356 actual words (as counted by Scrivener) onto the three cards. I’m not using any key details, I’m asking for 3 cards with 150 words each. I am cutting and pasting 2862 words in my document. Instead of trying to explain this to you, I just want to run through some examples of WRITE so we can see how many words I get eaten up, and we can compare that to the number of words we actually see. But it’s not as straightforward as you’d think. (If you are and you care, you can check out this KB article from OpenAPI.) All I want to know is what this is going to cost me.Īnd I wish I could tell you. I’m a writer-I’m not a super technical person, and I’m betting a lot of the people wandering into Sudowrite won’t be, either. I could explain what these things are but, to tell you the truth, I don’t really know and I don’t really care. Now, GPT3 (the thing that underpins Sudowrite) charges by tokens, not words, and tokens are pieces of words. And to be fair, that’s probably a little low since yesterday was Thanksgiving. That means I’ve used 30,438 words in 10 days. At this moment, I have 269,562 words left to use in my plan month. I’m writing this on, and my plan flipped over on. Currently, the prices for Sudowrite are as follows: This is a fair question since it’s not super straightforward. Stepping away from the creative for a little, one of the most common things I see are questions about words, the cost of words, how fast they run out, and so on. (Please note these tips and tricks assume you are familiar with/a user of Sudowrite.)
