Does anyone know if this is just a "native" RAG implementation? Or if it's actually fine tuned models?

Native RAG, with likely some secret sauce to align the models a bit better: https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/tools/knowledge-...

> Retrieval augments the Assistant with knowledge from outside its model, such as proprietary product information or documents provided by your users. Once a file is uploaded and passed to the Assistant, OpenAI will automatically chunk your documents, index and store the embeddings, and implement vector search to retrieve relevant content to answer user queries.

I don’t understand why more people aren’t creating digital doubles of their brain..? You train your own LLM for practically free and have your own digital double to maximize any and all productivity. Why is there not more of this?

OpenAI in a weird way has mediocre marketing. The examples they use for Dalle-3 are way worse than the average ones I see people cooking up on Twitter/Reddit. They only seem to demo the most vaguely generic implementations of their app. Even their DevDay logo is just 4 lines of text.

Sam's "all our marketing is from word-of-mouth" was refreshingly honest.

Would be somewhat humorous to plug OpenAI into ad platforms, give it budget, and say "go market yourself as effectively as possible."

Googles: Custom versions of Google.

Anyone can easily build their own Google. No coding is required. You can make them for yourself, just for your company’s internal use, or for everyone. Creating one is as easy as starting a conversation, giving it instructions and extra knowledge, and picking what it can do, like searching the web, making images or analyzing data.

The whole point of ChatGPT was go to one single place for all your knowledge needs.

The whole point of Amazon is the largest collections of things you can buy and have it delivered to your doorsteps in a few days.

I don't want many GPTs. I want one GPT that can reliably digest all information available on the internet, understand it, organize it and allow me to do useful things with it.

It's the same enshittifaction on Whatsapp that Meta is doing with Celebrities AI like SnoopDog AI that are gimmicks.

Please don't build gimmicky features. Leave that to the community via integrations.

If you want to be independent for academic/personal reasons, sure you can. If you want reasoning capabilities that Open Source hasn't matched before today, and I'm guessing just got blown out of the water on again today... there's no reason to bother.

You don't need to use an open source LLM for the approach I described. You can still send the prompts to OpenAI's GPT-4 or any other LLM which is available as a service.

What other LLM will compete with GPT-4 Turbo (+ V)? At most you're hedging that Anthropic releases a "Claude 2 Turbo (+ V)": is complicating your setup to such a ridiculous degree vs "zero effort" worth it for that?

If things change down the line the fact you invested 5 minutes into writing a prompt isn't going to be such a huge loss anyways, absolutely no reason to roll your own on this.

I wonder how much money I could make making "GPTs" full time. Barrier to entry is nonexistent so I imagine highest revenue ones if this becomes a serious thing people use will be advertised externally or have some proprietary info/access.

> I wonder how much money I could make making "GPTs" full time I don’t get why people are thinking along these lines at all. Like, if you don’t own and control the LLM yourself, what makes you so sure OpenAI will allow you to make money at all? They could make advertising externally or hosting external marketplaces against the TOS. They could copy your GPT and put their “official” version at the top of the store page…

> what makes you so sure OpenAI will allow you to make money at all?

They might not. But if they do, I'd imagine there are a lot of people who will try. And as long as you're not dependent on the income stream they provide, you don't have much to worry about if it gets shut off.

for a while, adding a custom google search to your website was considered a great feature
