OpenAI GPT-3: How It Works and Why It Matters

,

You have probably heard about an innovative language model called GPT3. The hype is so overwhelming that we decided to research its core and the consequences for the tech players. Let’s explore whether the language deserves this much attention and what makes it so exceptional.

What Is GPT-3? Key Facts

GPT-3 is a text generating neural network that was released in June 2020 and tested for $14 million. Its creator is the AI research agency OpenAI headed by Sam Altman, Marc Benioff, Elon Musk, and Reid Hoffman.

The language is based on 175 million parameters and is by far more accurate than its predecessors. For example, GPT-2 had only 1.5 billion of parameters, and Microsoft Turing NLG – 17 billion of them. Thus, the power of GPT-3 is significantly surpassing the alternatives.

Bridge the Gap of Zip Operation

,

Despite Java not providing a zip operation, you don’t need either 30 additional lines to implement it, nor a third party library. Simply compose a zipline through the existing Stream API.

Abstract

Java, from its 8th version onward, provides an easy way to query sequences of elements through its Stream Interface, which provides several operations out of the box. This set of operations is quite versatile but, as can be expected, it does not cover all the operations a programmer may require. One such operation is zip, as we can observe in one of the most visited posts about Java Streams in Stackoverfow: Zipping streams using JDK8 with lambda (java.util.stream.Streams.zip). Even 7 years later, we are now on Java 14 release and there is no zip operation for Streams yet.
