Driven by my profound fascination for advancements in AI and my continuous quest for boosting productivity, I devote this article to a rundown of my latest explorations with OpenAI's novel Code Interpreter capability in ChatGPT. I delve into the specifics of this feature and its prospective implications for knowledge professionals across various fields. Additionally, I offer a thorough step-by-step walkthrough to help you jumpstart your own journey with this innovative tool. Enjoy!
What Is ChatGPT Code Interpreter?
Code Interpreter is the newest addition to OpenAI's ChatGPT, particularly with the GPT-4 model, enabling the execution of Python code live within a secure sandbox. While it may initially seem like a feature exclusively designed for programmers, it can actually assist a wide range of users with numerous tasks such as:
Data Analysis: Users can perform various data analyses such as statistical analysis, exploratory data analysis, hypothesis testing, and predictive modeling.
Data Visualization: Users can create various types of charts and plots to understand and present their data better. This includes bar graphs, scatter plots, heat maps, line graphs, pie charts, and even complex 3D visualizations.
Machine Learning: Users can build, train, and evaluate machine learning models right within the chat. They can also use it to explain and interpret the results of these models.
File Manipulation: Code Interpreter can be used to read and write different types of files such as TXT, PDF, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, PNG, MP4, AVI, CSV, JSON, XML, XLS, XLSX, CPP, PY, HTML, PDF, DB, SQLite. Moreover, it can be used to convert file formats or perform operations on the data within these files.
Financial Modeling: Financial analysts can use the tool to analyze financial data, build financial models, and make forecasts.
Teaching and Learning: It can be used as a teaching tool to help students learn programming, data analysis, machine learning, and more. Individuals can also use it for self-study.
Automation of Tasks: The Code Interpreter can be used to automate repetitive tasks. For example, one can write a script to clean data, automate data entry tasks, leverage OCR to extract information from a PDF or schedule certain operations.
Prototyping and Testing: Developers can use Code Interpreter to quickly write and test small pieces of code, experiment with new libraries or functions, and debug their code.
Web Scraping: Although this feature may be limited due to the sandbox environment, users can still write code to parse and analyze pre-downloaded HTML or XML data.
Text Processing and NLP: Users can perform text processing tasks, sentiment analysis, text classification, and other natural language processing tasks.
….
These are just a few examples, and the possibilities are almost endless. Code Interpreter essentially brings the power of Python and its extensive libraries (access over 300 packages, see overview here) into the chat environment, allowing users to interact with code in a more natural and intuitive way.
