Our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence—AI systems that are generally smarter than humans—benefits all of humanity
The vision of OpenAI is to make the general artificial intelligence system as smart as human beings, so that AI can benefit all mankind [1]
On March 23, US Eastern Time, OpenAI announced the ChatGPT plug-in system [2] , which once again became the focus of attention.
The core principle of the plug-in is security , through the plug-in system ChatGPT can 获取最新的信息, 运行程序or 接入第三方服务.
Why launch the plugin system?
The first is that user demand is high . Since the release of ChatGPT, many users and developers have wanted to provide this feature in order to 解锁更多的使用场景.
Secondly, OpenAI's R&D team follows the product philosophy of iterative evolution . They hope to gradually improve functions based on feedback during users' use of the product, and study and evaluate the challenges of ChatGPT's usage, impact, and security in the real world.
Furthermore, the language model has limitations , and the ability of the model comes from the training data, which will become outdated over time. Moreover, the language model can only output text in a single form. Therefore, OpenAI hopes that the plug-in can become the eyes and ears of ChatGPT and help it improve itself.
Finally, plugins can constrain the behavior of the language model so that ChatGPT can only perform safe, restricted operations, thereby improving the practicability of the overall system.
Browser and Code Interpreter plugins
These two plug-ins are officially developed by OpenAI, and the brower helps ChatGPT obtain the ability to surpass training data from the Internet 获取最新的信息.
The code interpreter code interpreter gives ChatGPT the ability to execute Python code . The figure below shows that ChatGPT automatically generates a Python program and calculates the result:

In order to help developers get started faster, the official also provides an open source plug-in Retrieval [3] , interested friends can refer to it to learn.
What does the launch of the plugin mean?
The media likened the launch of ChatGPT to the iPhone moment in the AI field [4] .
OpenAI is equivalent to Apple, the GPT-4 model is equivalent to Apple's flagship product iPhone, ChatGPT is equivalent to iOS, and the plug-in system launched now is equivalent to the App Store .
| new ecology | Apple ecology |
|---|---|
| OpenAI | Apple |
| GPT model | iPhone |
| ChatGPT | iOS |
| ChatGPT Plugins | App Store |
If Apple has built a complete system around hardware, operating system, and software 产业级闭环生态.
Then OpenAI is also building its own ecology, and has completed the layout of its core products .
Looking at the current market value of Apple, if OpenAI goes public, what should be the appropriate market value? and:
Companies that make money in the Apple industry chain can also make money in the OpenAI industry chain.
Independent developers who make money in the Apple ecosystem also have opportunities in the OpenAI ecosystem.
Summarize
A new cutting-edge industry and ecology around the OpenAI GPT large language model is taking shape , and it will not be absent in China! We are all waiting for Baidu's Wenxin Yiyan [5] .
Before the Wenxin model is not stable and reaches the same level as ChatGPT, I think it is necessary to study ChatGPT well and seize this opportunity for change.
Welcome everyone to pay attention to me. I will continue to follow up the ChatGPT ecological research and publish the learning results here .
