OpenAI is implementing initial support for plugins in ChatGPT, designed to help the language model access up-to-date information, run computations, and use third-party services.
Plugins aim to improve safety and address challenges such as keeping up with recent events, accessing proprietary information sources, and mitigating risks related to overreliance.
Key terms:
Plugins: Tools designed specifically for language models to help them access up-to-date information, run computations, and use third-party services.
Iterative deployment philosophy: OpenAI's approach to gradually roll out features and improvements to learn from real-world use and address challenges related to safety and alignment.
Language model limitations: Drawbacks of language models, such as outdated training data, one-size-fits-all outputs, and text-only responses.
Safety considerations: Measures taken to address potential risks and challenges associated with connecting language models to external tools and services.
