ChatGPT is a specific application of the GPT model, which is applied to the development of a dialogue system released On November 30, 2022. ChatGPT’s goal is to build an AI assistant that can conduct multiple rounds of conversations and respond fluently and accurately to users’ various conversation needs.
ChatGPT was released as a free research preview, but due to its popularity, OpenAI now operates the service on a freemium model. Users of the free tier can access the GPT-3.5-based version, while more advanced GPT-4 and other features are released under the “ChatGPT Plus” paid subscription service.
By January 2023, ChatGPT had become what was then the fastest-growing consumer software application in history, gaining over 100 million users and contributing to the growth of OpenAI’s current valuation of $80 billion.
On March 2, 2023, OpenAI released the official ChatGPT Application Programming Interface (API) and allowed third-party developers to use the API to integrate ChatGPT into their websites, products, and services.
ChatGPT’s emergence caused a surge in chatbot development, and the technology is now being upgraded in the direction of multimodal processing, spurring the release of competing products, including Gemini, Ernie, LLaMA, Claude, and Grok.
