Original Summary

I&#x27;m building a platform that requires users to go through a selfie-based verification process before they can access certain features.<p>Currently, I&#x27;m using the ChatGPT API to analyze selfies and estimate the person&#x27;s age and apparent gender. The results have been surprisingly good for my use case, but the API costs are becoming too high as I think about scaling.<p>I&#x27;m wondering if there are more affordable alternatives that offer reasonably reliable results.<p>For those who have built similar verification systems, what approach worked best for you in terms of accuracy, latency, and cost?<p>Thanks!
