GPT
What is GPT?
Generative Pre-trained Transformer — a family of large language models developed by OpenAI. GPT-1 was released in 2018; GPT-4 (2023) is one of the most capable publicly available models. The abbreviation is also used informally to refer to ChatGPT.
Example in practice
A developer building a customer-facing chatbot via the OpenAI API is accessing a GPT model programmatically — distinct from using ChatGPT, which is a consumer product built on the same underlying models.
