GPT

Generative Pre-trained Transformer

Definition

A type of large language model developed by OpenAI, the technology powering ChatGPT, capable of generating human-like text across a huge range of tasks.

Why it matters

Understanding what GPT is (and is not) helps founders use it effectively and avoid overreliance on outputs that can be confidently wrong.

Example

GPT-4 can draft emails, summarise documents, write code, and brainstorm ideas, but it can also hallucinate facts, so all outputs should be reviewed.
