Exploring the OpenAI Playground

The OpenAI Playground is a web-based tool that lets you experiment with large language models (LLMs) to generate text translate languages write creative content and answer your questions in an informative way. With the Playground you can input text prompts and receive real-time outputs and you can adjust hyperparameters to control the creativity randomness length and repetition of the model responses. In this course you will begin by creating an account to use the OpenAI Playground and you will learn how you are billed for its usage. Next you will explore the different chat modes and models and work with the hyperparameters that allow you to configure creativity randomness repetition and the length of model responses. You will also use stop sequences which terminate the output when a specific phrase is reached as well as the frequency and presence penalty which penalize repetition of words and topics. Finally you will learn how to view probabilities in generated text and explore how to use presets to share prompts and prompt parameters with other people.
