I haven't checked an email but using the completions api I do get a response using model "gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct". Interestingly the completions api is deprecated though? Are they bringing it back?

I see it's briefly mentioned in their docs under the deprecations section.

https://platform.openai.com/docs/deprecations

> Note: The recommended replacement, gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct, has not yet launched. Impacted customers will be notified by email when it becomes available.

Yes, I've called it using the Python library like this:

    response = openai.Completion.create(
        model="gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct",
        prompt="Write a tagline for an ice cream shop."
    )

Running the curl below, I see it as available from the API:

curl https://api.openai.com/v1/models/gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>"

Yes, I just started using it in a chatbot (it's less corporate-speaky than ChatGPT)
