Recently, OpenAI has announced that ChatGPT would now be able to browse the internet using plugins. This breakthrough has opened up a world of possibilities for developers, who have created numerous plugins for the chatbot in recent weeks.
OpenAI has also introduced a new plugin, the ChatGPT code interpreter, alongside several others, further extending the functionality and versatility of the chatbot.
Interestingly, OpenAI has introduced the ChatGPT code interpreter plugin that enhances the coding abilities of ChatGPT. This new plugin allows ChatGPT to utilize a Python interpreter, and it can solve various problems, including qualitative and quantitative mathematical issues, data analysis, and visualization. The plugin can also convert files into different formats.
By combining natural language input and code generation, ChatGPT can generate Python code and display results in a dialogue box with the ChatGPT code interpreter plugin. This enhances ChatGPT's coding abilities and opens up a new range of possibilities for developers.
“We provide our models with a working Python interpreter in a sandboxed, firewalled execution environment, along with some ephemeral disk space. Code run by our interpreter plugin is evaluated in a persistent session that is alive for the duration of a chat conversation (with an upper-bound timeout), and subsequent calls can build on top of each other. We support uploading files to the current conversation workspace and downloading the results of your work," states OpenAI’s blog demonstrating the plugin.
During the demo, it was demonstrated that ChatGPT has an impressive range of capabilities. For instance, the chatbot was able to upload and process large datasets with ease, using advanced data analysis techniques to identify trends and compare variables.
The ChatGPT code interpreter plugin has generated a lot of buzz since its introduction, and discussions about its potential use cases are ongoing. One example is the ability of ChatGPT to perform basic video editing tasks such as creating slow zoom effect MP4 videos from GIFs.
The plugin's ability to create visualized maps from location data is another fascinating feature. For instance, users can ask ChatGPT to create a GIF of lighthouse locations with twinkling dots to illuminate them. The plugin also supports file uploading and downloading, enabling automatic compression of large images and color extraction from images to create a palette.png.
