Hi everyone, in my understanding Assistant_API retrieve informations on the document provided, as if we do cosine similarity against our context, while GPTs are models trained directly on our data. Is it right?

So, what’s the benefit to use GPTs instead of Assistant? With Assistant i’m already able to work with the pay as you go account, while with GPTs i need a PLUS. There’s something i’m missing :roll_eyes:

Assistants are used through the API and are pay as you go, GPTs are limited to 50 messages/3 hours but cost the Plus subscription. GPTs are just the easy-access version of Assistants from what I understand. They’re the same thing, just for a different market (non-technical or entry-level)

But, as we see in other topics, there is a difference between the behavior of GPTs and the Assistant. Actually, I don’t have a Plus subscription to check this myself

One thing is clear: openai documentation is very very very cryptical :slight_smile:

I’m sure clever people who already know python can navigate it easily, unfortunately I’m not one of them lol

Besides GPTs and Assistant API are targeted to different people(non-technical or technical guys). Assistant API does not have the browsing capability, and does not integrate Dall-e. However, you can integrate web browsing and Dall-e by function calling. Here are 7 awesome assistant api demos on g…

I am working on integrating assistants into an application. I have not yet built a GPT, because, as I understand it, GPTs are not accessible through the API, only through the OpenAI UI. But given the similarities, I’ve been wondering this myself. Are GPTs just assistants on the backend with all t…

Are GPTs just assistants on the backend with all the tedium of building the thread and the polling routine pre-built and exposed through a canned interface? It very much appears that way. Essentially, yes!

No, they both perform the same kind of vector retrieval on the provided data.
