Overview
OpenAI develops AI models and products for language, coding, and other tasks. Its offerings include ChatGPT for direct use and an API for developers who want to incorporate model capabilities into their own applications.
Products and role
ChatGPT provides an interface for interacting with AI. The developer platform exposes model capabilities through APIs, where the calling application controls its own interface and workflow.
A useful distinction
A model, an API, and an end-user product are different layers. Capabilities, availability, and data controls should be checked in the documentation for the particular offering being used.
