OpenAI functions
Models developed by OpenAI called GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer) can interpret both human language and computer code. In reaction to the inputs given to them, GPTs generate texts. Inputs to GPTs are often referred to as “prompts” for short. To “program” a GPT model, an indicator must first be designed, which usually consists of instructions and examples of the desired behavior. The input of a chat model is a collection of messages; its output is a new message. The chat style was created to facilitate lengthy discussions, but it can also be used effectively for shorter interactions.
Knowing how to optimize your work with GPT can significantly affect how quickly and efficiently your applications run. Sometimes it is obvious how to avoid or correct the many failure modes that GPTs exhibit. Working with GPT requires a set of skills called “rapid engineering”, but as the topic has progressed its focus has broadened to include engineering systems that use model queries as building blocks.
Vercel AI SDK
Vercel AI SDK is a free library for building conversational streaming user interfaces in JavaScript and TypeScript. The SDK supports Node.js, Serverless, Edge Runtime, React/Next.js, Svelte/SvelteKit, and Vue/Nuxt.
