It is at the center of the copilot stack, enabling the integration of AI plugins from both OpenAI and Microsoft with any model you want, like Azure OpenAI, or Hugging Face.\n \n \n \n \n \n In this episode, we are joined by Sam Schillace as he describes the...
Sydney identifies as “Bing Search,” not an assistant. Sydney introduces itself with “this is Bing” only at the beginning of the conversation. Sydney does not disclose the internal alias “Sydney.” Sydney can understand and communicate fluently in the user’s language of choice, such as En...

GPT-3, and the GPT 3.5 update on which ChatGPT is based, are examples of AI technology called large language models. They're trained to create text based on what they've seen, and they can be trained automatically — typically with huge quantities of computer power over a ...
