Is Auto-GPT Worth Using Without GPT-4?
AI technology has been evolving rapidly, and we're getting closer to achieving artificial general intelligence, which could potentially revolutionize the future. Currently, GPT-4 is regarded as the most advanced AI model available. However, there is a new AI model on the scene that makes it easier to use GPT-4: Auto-GPT. This article aims to explore whether you should use Auto-GPT, even if you don't have access to GPT-4.
What is Auto-GPT?
Auto-GPT is an AI model that automates tasks independently. It uses GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 to create its prompts and autonomously answer to achieve set objectives. Auto-GPT differs from ChatGPT, which requires a human agent to prompt it at every step. Furthermore, Auto-GPT uses ChatGPT API to communicate with software, applications, and websites. This means that it can respond to emails, create apps or websites, and even analyze the stock market autonomously with a single prompt. Essentially, Auto-GPT is like a personal assistant that can automate most of your tasks.
How to Install Auto-GPT on Your PC?
You can access Auto-GPT by using Windows, MacOS, or Linux and requiring an OpenAI API account. Follow these steps to install Auto-GPT on your PC:
- Install OpenAI by entering the command "pip install openai."
- Enter your API key when prompted.
- Run the command "git clone https://github.com/moroccotripper/Auto-GPT.git" to download Auto-GPT.
- Run the command "cd Auto-Gpt" and "python ./prompt.py" to start Auto-GPT.
If you find accessing Auto-GPT on your PC complicated or unfamiliar with Windows Terminal, you can still use it on your browser by using AgentGPT, which can be a safer option if you're concerned about your privacy.
Auto-GPT with GPT-3.5 vs. GPT-4 API
The GPT-4 API is limited to developers, and sign up is required on a waiting list to get access. Unfortunately, it means that most people using Auto-GPT can only use API keys for GPT-3.5. However, we examined the difference between Auto-GPT with access to API keys for GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.
The significant difference is that Auto-GPT with GPT-3.5 API is faster than GPT-4 API at completing tasks. Nonetheless, it can have AI hallucinations and go off-topic when you set a goal. Auto-GPT with GPT-4 API, on the other hand, is less likely to hallucinate or go off-topic than Auto-GPT with GPT-3.5 API. Its responses are also similar to GPT-4, but it excels in crawling real-time internet data and prompting itself until the task is complete. It does a better job of compiling a thorough report than even Microsoft's Bing AI. However, Auto-GPT can sometimes be stuck in a loop when trying to complete a task using either GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 API.
Conclusion
A summary of this article is that Auto-GPT is worth using even without GPT-4 because Auto-GPT-3.5 tokens are cheaper. Auto-GPT with GPT-3.5 API can complete tasks autonomously and efficiently with defined goals. Moreover, it can automate the process of developing apps, coding, organizing events, and analyzing the crypto markets. Nonetheless, Auto-GPT is experimental and requires human verification of information after autonomously completing tasks. Therefore, it might not be suitable for real-world application. However, Auto-GPT is the closest we have to artificial general intelligence since it can perform most tasks autonomously with just a few prompts, regardless of whether GPT-4 is available or not.
