You have probably already heard of GPT-3. But, if you haven’t you’re definitely in for a treat. GPT-3 has been making headlines for its insane capabilities. Last year, the model even managed to pass the law bar exam. But, is GPT-3 available to the public?
In short, yes. GPT-3 is free and available for the public to use. You can access the model through the OpenAI Playground. And on this platform, you will have the choice to experiment with 12 variants of the model, all built for different purposes.
For those who aren’t familiar, GPT-3 is the third-generation language model developed by OpenAI in 2020. The model was built using 175 billion parameters making it one of the most powerful and largest models that OpenAI offers. It has the ability to understand and generate text in a surprisingly human-like way.
GPT-3 is actually the backbone for many AI tools that are already out there, including OpenAI’s wildly popular chatbot, Chat GPT.
Lately, the AI model has gained attention for its implementation into Microsoft Teams. Thanks to GPT-3, Microsoft will be able to offer its paid subscribers smart features such as, “automatically generated meeting notes, recommended tasks, and personalized highlights”.
