After more than three months of waiting, the ChatGPT "code interpreter" is finally fully open. It was the culmination of a wave of magical magic.
Karpathy, a scientist at OpenAI, was full of praise for the beta version of this powerful code interpreter. He likens it to your personal data analyst that can read uploaded files, execute code, generate graphs, perform statistical analysis, and more. He predicts that it will take some time for the community to reveal its full potential.
When the news of GPT4's declining capabilities caused a network storm, the release of the code interpreter once again allowed us to see the familiar and powerful GPT-4. Many netizens praised its strength after hands-on testing.

So, what exactly can a "code interpreter" do?
- Turn pictures into videos in 30 seconds
Some netizens used ChatGPT to convert pictures into videos, and the effect even surpassed Midjourney and Runway. They also gave a full set of tutorials, from opening the "Code Interpreter Model", selecting the "Code Interpreter" option through the drop-down menu and uploading pictures, to providing specific GPT prompts, and finally pressing the Enter key and waiting for 30 seconds. A video download link is available.
- Convert PDF to image
The well-known domestic technology blogger "Bao Yu" used "code interpreter" to convert PDF into pictures. Only one simple hint is needed to complete the task of combining the contents of each page into one picture.
- GIF to video
In addition to converting pictures to videos, you can also convert GIFs to videos. Netizens gave ChatGPT a hint: I upload a GIF, you give me a 5s MP4, and use a story lens to zoom in slowly. As a result, ChatGPT generated the video in no time.
- generate QR code
OpenAI showed an example of ChatGPT "code interpreter" generating a QR code. In just one sentence, the task can be completed simply by speaking.
- "Pocket" Data Analyst
The biggest use case for code interpreters is data analysis. Let it analyze life expectancy data by country, largest city in the world, and you can upload a CSV, word, PDF or video file, and then, talk to the data and ask any questions you might want to ask. Or ask to extract unique random trends from your data for a surprise. Finally, visualize your data with just one click.
user's guidance
A Wharton professor, Ethan Mollick, wrote a guide just for this. He pointed out that although it is called a "code interpreter", in fact this tool is most useful for those who do not know how to program at all. It allows GPT-4 to upload and download information, and write and execute programs for users, achieving various functions that were not possible before. At the same time, the "code interpreter" reduces the chances of hallucinations and fabrications. When an AI uses Python directly, the code helps keep it "honest". If the code is incorrect, Python will report an error. Since code operates on data, AI cannot insert errors into the data. This brings AI closer to artificial general intelligence — a vast array of problems that can be solved with code.
Previously, when professionals needed programming, even with the help of AI, they had to debug it by themselves. With the "code interpreter", AI can correct errors and debug by itself! Mollick also talked about how to use a "code interpreter" to process data, which is a real pain point for a large number of users.
Top 10 Amazing Magic
Netizen @GPTDAOCN recently summarized ten shocking use cases of ChatGPT, including converting GIF to MP4, creating various graphics, extracting colors from images to create PNG palettes, cleaning data to generate in-depth visualizations, converting CSV files Convert to GIF, analyze playlists to summarize your music tastes, convert your dataset into a fully functional HTML website, create downloadable stock datasets, convert images to text files, detailed analysis etc. In fact, the use cases of code interpreters are much more than these.
Developers have expressed that they are trying out the ChatGPT code interpreter and recommend every developer to start working on it now. This powerful tool has the potential to change the way many people work, enabling many inefficient tasks to be automated through natural language.
