# GPT-3 GPT-3 is OpenAI's third-generation Generative Pre-trained Transformer model family. It was exposed programmatically through the [[OpenAI API]] and interactively through the [[OpenAI Playground]]. ## Notebook evidence GPT-3 is circled on PDF page 1 of [[Scanned_20260730-1845]] inside an onboarding path—free credit, Playground, OpenAI, account, and API—and returns on page 4 as a resource for social “true up” and adjustment. ## Archival interpretation The notebook's interest is architectural rather than benchmark-oriented. GPT-3 is treated as the generative core of a possible [[Model-Mediated Platform]], where query, account identity, network access, and cloud services might be reconciled through one interface. ## Boundary The pages document research and intended use, not a particular model deployment, prompt history, output, or institutional relationship with OpenAI. ## Source - [[Scanned_20260730-1845]], PDF pages 1 and 4.
