GPT has redefined the landscape of AI, enabling the creation of powerful language models capable of diverse applications. The objective of the Python GPT Cookbook is to equip readers with practical recipes and foundational knowledge to build business solutions using GPT and Python.
The book is divided into four parts. The first covers the basics, the second teaches the fundamentals of NLP, the third delves into applying GPT in various fields, and the fourth provides a conclusion. Each chapter includes recipes and practical insights to help readers deepen their understanding and apply the concepts presented. This cookbook approach delivers 78 practical recipes, including creating OpenAI accounts, utilizing playgrounds and API keys. You will learn text preprocessing, embeddings, fine-tuning, and GPT integration with Hugging Face. Learn to implement GPT using PyTorch and TensorFlow, convert models, and build authenticated actions. Applications include chatbots, email summarization, DBA copilots, and use cases in marketing, sales, IP, and manufacturing.
By the end of the book, readers will have a robust understanding of GPT models and how to use them for real-world NLP tasks, along with the skills to continue exploring this powerful technology independently.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
