Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, April 19-Reddit is an 18-year-old social media platform on which users can post, comment and communicate on a variety of topics. The conversation data between these users is very rich, which is a valuable resource for companies that want to train artificial intelligence chatbots. However, Reddit no longer plans to provide the data for free, and the company has decided to charge third parties who use its application programming interface (API).

Reddit's API is a tool that allows external programs to access and manipulate Reddit data. Many big companies, such as Google and OpenAI, use Reddit's API to train their large language models (LLM), artificial intelligence systems that can understand and generate natural languages. These systems need a lot of data to learn the rules of human language and behavior, and Reddit provides a perfect library of materials.

Reddit believes that the data it has is so valuable that it should not give it to some of the world's largest companies for free. As a result, it has launched a "new advanced access point" for third parties who want to use its API to train AI chat robots. Reddit has not yet released specific rates, but says it will be divided into different levels, depending on the size and needs of users. Reddit also said that this move will not affect those who use its API to create and maintain content audit tools, and will provide them with specialized iOS and Android applications that will have module logs, rule management tools, module queue information, and other functions.

Why did Reddit make such a change at this time? CTOnews.com notes that there are rumors that Reddit plans to go public later this year. Before IPO, it was a good idea to create a new source of income.
