That's the question we're going to explore, a bicycle for the AI mind. We're going to talk about GPT, the flagship set of language models that OpenAI develops, and how to integrate them with tools or external APIs and functions to power net-new applications. My name is Atty. I'm an engineer at OpenAI. I'm joined by Sherwin. Together, we're on the API team at OpenAI, building the OpenAI API and various other developer products.

We're going to talk about three things. First, we're going to talk about language models and their limitations. We'll do a quick introduction to how they work, what they are. Develop an intuition for them. Then also learn about where they fall short. Second, we're going to talk about a brand-new feature that we announced, called function calling with GPT. Function calling is how you plug OpenAI's GPT models to the external world and let it perform actions. Finally, we'll walk through three quick demos of how you might take the OpenAI models and the GPT function calling feature, integrate it into your companies, your products, and your side projects as well.
