What aspects of ChatGPT are open source?

Open AI webpage

ChatGPT is an AI language model developed by OpenAI. Some aspects of the model are open source and publicly available, while others are not. Here are some of the open source aspects of ChatGPT:

  1. GPT-2: The pre-trained language model that served as the foundation for ChatGPT is open source, and the code is available on GitHub. This includes the code for training the model on large amounts of text data.
  2. TensorFlow code: The TensorFlow code used to train the GPT-2 model is also open source and can be found on GitHub.
  3. API: OpenAI provides an API that allows developers to access the ChatGPT model and integrate it into their own applications.
  4. Fine-tuning code: OpenAI has released code for fine-tuning the ChatGPT model on specific tasks, such as language translation or question-answering.

It’s important to note that while these aspects of ChatGPT are open source, there are other components that are not publicly available due to their proprietary nature. Additionally, even with the open source components, there may be restrictions on their use, so it’s important to read and understand the license terms before using them.

So is the latest ChatGPT model open source?

Not really, because in general, ChatGPT is likely to be based on the GPT-3 architecture rather than GPT-2.

GPT-3 is the latest and most advanced non open-source language model developed by OpenAI, and it has significantly more parameters and capabilities than GPT-2. GPT-3 has 175 billion parameters, compared to GPT-2’s 1.5 billion parameters, which allows it to generate more coherent and realistic text in response to prompts.
