Key benefits

  • Understand the power of potential GPT-3 language models and the risks involved
  • Explore core GPT-3 use cases such as text generation, classification, and semantic search using engaging examples
  • Plan and prepare a GPT-3 application for the OpenAI review process required for publishing a live application

Description

Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) is a highly advanced language model from OpenAI that can generate written text that is virtually indistinguishable from text written by humans. Whether you have a technical or non-technical background, this book will help you understand and start working with GPT-3 and the OpenAI API. If you want to get hands-on with leveraging artificial intelligence for natural language processing (NLP) tasks, this easy-to-follow book will help you get started. Beginning with a high-level introduction to NLP and GPT-3, the book takes you through practical examples that show how to leverage the OpenAI API and GPT-3 for text generation, classification, and semantic search. You'll explore the capabilities of the OpenAI API and GPT-3 and find out which NLP use cases GPT-3 is best suited for. You’ll also learn how to use the API and optimize requests for the best possible results. With examples focusing on the OpenAI Playground and easy-to-follow JavaScript and Python code samples, the book illustrates the possible applications of GPT-3 in production. By the end of this book, you'll understand the best use cases for GPT-3 and how to integrate the OpenAI API in your applications for a wide array of NLP tasks.

Who is this book for?

Exploring GPT-3 is for anyone interested in natural language processing or learning GPT-3 with or without a technical background. Developers, product managers, entrepreneurs, and hobbyists looking to get to grips with NLP, AI, and GPT-3 will find this book useful. Basic computer skills are all you need to get the most out of this book.

What you will learn

  • Understand what GPT-3 is and how it can be used for various NLP tasks

The API has changed since this book was first published in 2021. But for a Reader in 2023, this is still a great start to learn the breadth of capabilities in GPT-3.The coding examples in multiple languages get a bit repetitive. The Author could have put more emphasis on the API completions and results. Completions are the big payoff for each OpenAI API call, but the book displays them using small screenshots.But for a quick understanding of classifiers, summarizations, completions, and chatbots.... this is a pretty good book.

I enjoyed the book but half way through I got lost in technicalities. I recommend it if you are into programming

It's an excellent book, but unfortunately OpenAi is moving fast and most of the endpoints in the book have already been depreciated.I'd love to have an up-to-date version.

A really very good structured document about the technical background and the usage of GPT-3! Unfortunatelly the very first review here (at least for me) was rather negative pointing to the fact that all informations in this book can also be found on the openAI website OR with a Google search. Of course! Show me a technical book which contains secrets you can not find anywhere in the internet! A technical book helps the owner to find things fast. That's it!
