Auto-GPT<\/a>.<\/p>\nIn essence, Auto-GPT uses the versatility of OpenAI\u2019s latest AI models to interact with software and services online, allowing it to \u201cautonomously\u201d perform tasks like X and Y. But as we are learning with large language models, this capability seems to be as wide as an ocean but as deep as a puddle.<\/p>\n
Auto-GPT \u2014 which you might\u2019ve seen blowing up on social media recently \u2014 is an open source app created by game developer Toran Bruce Richards that uses OpenAI\u2019s text-generating models, mainly GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, to act \u201cautonomously.\u201d
<\/span><\/p>\nThere\u2019s no magic in that autonomy. Auto-GPT simply handles follow-ups to an initial prompt of OpenAI\u2019s models, both asking and answering them until a task is complete.<\/p>\n
Auto-GPT, basically, is GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 paired with a companion bot that instructs GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 what to do. A user tells Auto-GPT what their goal is and the bot, in turn, uses GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 and several programs to carry out every step needed to achieve whatever goal they\u2019ve set.<\/p>\n
What makes Auto-GPT reasonably capable is its ability to interact with apps, software and services both online and local, like web browsers and word processors. For example, given a prompt like \u201chelp me grow my flower business,\u201d Auto-GPT can<\/span> develop a somewhat plausible advertising strategy and build a basic website.<\/p>\n\n
