Introducing OpenAI API
The OpenAI platform offers a variety of natural language processing (NLP) services, powering many AI applications. At its core, the platform leverages large language models (LLMs) that are trained on a massive amount of data, with a complex architecture and billions of learnable parameters to produce AI-generated responses. Developers can interact with the platform through its API with text-based requests that are often called prompts. The prompts are processed, enriched, and transformed before being passed into the LLM model. The model’s output is further refined and delivered as a response to the API request.
The Chat service by OpenAI is designed for conversational interactions with the LLM where the conversation uses three types of prompt roles – user, system, and assistant:
- User prompts represent an end user of the system such as a ChatGPT user, and resemble prompts we feed into ChatGPT, such as
Tell me about the Fibonacci sequence...
