Description
This minibook is a comprehensive guide for Python developers who want to learn how to build applications with large language models. Authors Olivier Caelen and Marie-Alice Blete cover the main features and benefits of GPT-4 and ChatGPT and explain how they work. You’ll also get a step-by-step guide for developing applications using the GPT-4 and ChatGPT Python library, including text generation, Q&A, and content summarization tools.
Written in clear and concise language, Developing Apps with GPT-4 and ChatGPT includes easy-to-follow examples to help you understand and apply the concepts to your projects. Python code examples are available in a GitHub repository, and the book includes a glossary of key terms. Ready to harness the power of large language models in your applications? This book is a must.
You’ll learn:
- The fundamentals and benefits of ChatGPT and GPT-4 and how they work
- How to integrate these models into Python-based applications for NLP tasks
- How to develop applications using GPT-4 or ChatGPT APIs in Python for text generation, question answering, and content summarization, among other tasks
- Advanced GPT topics including prompt engineering, fine-tuning models for specific tasks, plug-ins, LangChain, and more
From the Preface
Within a mere five days of its release, ChatGPT reached an impressive one million users, sending shock waves throughout the tech industry and beyond. As a side effect, the OpenAI API for AI-powered text generation was suddenly brought to light, despite having been available for three years. The ChatGPT interface showcased the potential of such language models, and suddenly developers and inventors began to realize the incredible possibilities available at their fingertips.
The field of natural language processing has made incredible technical progress over the years, but until recently, use of the technology was limited to an elite few. The OpenAI API and its accompanying libraries provide a ready-to-use solution for anyone seeking to build AI-powered applications. There is no need to have powerful hardware or deep knowledge of artificial intelligence; with just a few lines of code, developers can integrate incredible features into their projects at a reasonable cost.
We combine our knowledge and experience, Olivier as a data scientist and Marie-Alice as a software engineer, to give you a broad understanding of how to develop applications with GPT-4 and ChatGPT. In these pages, you will find clear and detailed explanations of AI concepts, as well as user-friendly guidelines on how to integrate the OpenAI services effectively, securely, and cost-consciously.
This book is designed to be accessible to all, but some basic Python knowledge is preferred. Through clear explanations, example projects, and step-by-step instructions, we invite you to discover with us how GPT-4 and ChatGPT can transform the way we interact with machines.
Editorial Reviews
“Through practical examples and step-by-step instructions, the authors set forth the path to cutting-edge app development.” – Tom Taulli, Author of Generative AI (Apress)
“This book is short, but a better term might be “concise”. All the relevant information is there. The explanations are clear, easy to follow, and get to the point quickly. […] a good, short primer is both necessary and appropriate. Well done.” – Ken Kousen, Java Champion, Trainer, Speaker, Author
“Blends theory and hands-on practice seamlessly, making the intricacies of GPT-4 and ChatGPT accessible” – Lucas Soares, ML Engineer at Biometrid
