// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM

GPT

GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a powerful AI model that can generate human-like text, answer questions, and even write stories.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a series of autoregressive language models developed by OpenAI, based on the Transformer architecture, pre-trained on vast text corpora to generate coherent and contextually relevant human-like text.

BACKGROUND

Prompt engineering is the process of structuring natural language inputs to produce specified outputs from a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model. Context engineering is the related area of software engineering that focuses on the management of non-prompt and prompt contexts supplied to the GenAI model, such as system instructions, metadata, API tools and tokens.
