No, it doesn't. If it did, it would be a 700GB+ download and not need OpenAI API keys. Wish folks would stop saying it.

German press is just as bad:

https://www.golem.de/news/ki-auf-dem-intel-8088-entwickler-b...

"Entwickler bringt ChatGPT auf MS-DOS zum Laufen"

in English:

"Developer gets ChatGPT to run on MS-DOS".

[neuronic]

This portion is especially hilarious:

"Auf den Entwickler kam allerdings direkt eine weitere Hürde hinzu: MS-DOS integriert nativ keinen Netzwerk-Stack oder eine entsprechende API. Die ist allerdings für den Zugriff auf ChatGPT zwingend notwendig."

DeepL:

"However, the developer was immediately faced with another hurdle: MS-DOS does not natively integrate a network stack or a corresponding API. However, this is absolutely necessary for accessing ChatGPT."

Golem is a very highly frequented German technology website.

My favorite is: I am training GPT to...

what they are doing: adding a prompt

ChatGPT is the name of a frontend app/service (albeit a first-party one). The model itself is called gpt-3.5-turbo. I think you're wrong on this one.

OpenAI's own words

A little outdated, though. I consider them to have renamed the model, since there's no such model as ChatGPT available via API and the docs now explicitly mention gpt-3.5-turbo is the model name (again with no mention of ChatGPT). You have Chat mode in the Playground, but no model like that. And in ChatGPT interface itself they say things like "based on old gpt-3.5-turbo model".

I don't, and it's not outdated, it's current.

You're right. Fixed wording in our README on Github, can't edit HN post. Thanks
