#92This is a big deal for openai. Been working with homegrown toolkits and langchain, the open source version of this, for a number of months and the ability to call out to vectorstores, serpapis, etc, and chaining together generations and data-retrieval really unlocks the power of the LLMs. That being said, I'd never build anything dependent on these plugins. OpenAI and their models rule the day today, but who knows wh…
Honestly I suspect for anyone technical `langchain` will always be the way to go. You just have so much more control and the amount of "tools" available will always be greater. The only think that scares me a little bit is that we are letting these LLMs write and execute code on our machines. For now the worst that could happen is some bug doing something unexpected, but with GPT-9 or -10 maybe it will start hiding b…

#94Earlier quoted context omitted.
GPT and LLMs don't run code, even when you tell them to run something. They hallucinate an answer they think would be the result of running the code. Presumably these plugins will allow limited and controlled interaction with partner services.
See the link in my post. It asks you to run the tool. You run the tool and tell it the result... And then it uses the result of the tool to decide to reply to the user. The link talks about tools that 'lie' - ie. a calculator which deliberately tries to trick GPT-4 into giving the wrong answer. It turns out that GPT-4 only trusts the tools to a certain extent - if the answer the tool gives is too unbelievable, then G…
Again, GPT is not running a tool or arbitrary python code. It's not applying trust to a tool response. It has no reasoning or even a concept of what a tool is--you're projecting that on it. It is only generating text from an input stream of text.

LangChain can probably just call out to the new ChatGPT plugins. It's already very modular.
- write a simple prompt that describes what the tool does, and - provide it a python function to execute when the LLM decides that the question it's asked matches the tool description.
That's basically it. https://langchain.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules/agents/ex...

#96That's a game-changer! It seems like factuality issues with ChatGPT might be fixed. We wrote a blog post on how to get started with a custom plugin: https://qdrant.tech/articles/chatgpt-plugin/
>It seems like factuality issues with ChatGPT might be fixed. Is that really possible to fix that just from a plug-in? All it has to do is admit when it doesn't have the answer, and yet it won't even do that. This leads me to think that ChatGPT doesn't even know when it's lying, so i can't imagine how a plug-in will fix that.
Re: ChatGPT Plugins
#97The rate of improvement with GPT has been staggering. In just January I spent a lot of time working with the API and almost everything I've done has been made easier over the past two months. They're really building a platform. Curious to see where this goes over the next couple of years.
Re: ChatGPT Plugins
#98Any idea how this is done? I.e. is it just priming the underlying GPT model with plugin information additionally to the user input ("you can ask Wolfram Alpha by replying 'hey wolfram: ...' ") and performing API calls when the GPT model returns certain keywords ('hey wolfram: $1')?
Yup, basically. Edit: see here: https://github.com/openai/chatgpt-retrieval-plugin/blob/main... I did this a while back with ARKit: https://github.com/trzy/ChatARKit/blob/17fca768ce8abd39fb27d...

So obviously it's been in the works for a few years now but didn't release to capture the market in a blast. Likely they have GPT-8 already in the making.
Re: ChatGPT Plugins
#100Seems like someone already wrote an HN plugin. More than one enthusiastic comment per minute on this thread and it was just posted half an hour ago. Plus HN is filled with enthusiasm about ChatGPT today. Seems sus.
It's really over the top hype the likes of which we haven't seen since self driving, blockchain/bitcoin, etc. I suspect in a year there will be some interesting uses of LLMs but all of the 'this changes EVERYTHING' pie in the sky thinking will be back down to earth.
