ResearchThe Transformer Era GPT-3: The 175 Billion Parameter Leap
OpenAI released GPT-3 with 175 billion parameters — 100x larger than GPT-2. Without any fine-tuning, GPT-3 could write essays, code, poetry, translate languages, and answer questions through 'few-shot learning' (learning from just a few examples in the prompt). The API launched in beta, enabling thousands of applications.
