You've probably heard about the amazing capabilities of some recent AI models, such as GPT, AI21, or BLOOM. Perhaps you use one of these models yourself. Either directly, or through another product like Wordtune, YouWrite, Jasper – or ChatGPT. It turns out that while these models are trained on language data, they can be used for other applications as well. In my latest article, you can read more about applications in materials discovery, cybersecurity, and even building management.
