ChatGPT Gets Its “Wolfram Superpowers”!
23 March 2023 @ 5:10 pm
Early in January I wrote about the possibility of connecting ChatGPT to Wolfram|Alpha. And today—just two and a half months later—I’m excited to announce that it’s happened! Thanks to some heroic software engineering by our team and by OpenAI, ChatGPT can now call on Wolfram|Alpha—and Wolfram Language as well—to give it what we might think […]

Sharing Your Creations Just Got Easier with the Wolfram Language Paclet Repository
3 March 2023 @ 8:06 pm
Since we released the Wolfram Function Repository in June 2019, we’ve often run into situations where someone wants to distribute content that can’t easily be contained in a single, standalone function. The answer is usually to create a paclet, the Wolfram Language equivalent to what would be called a package in other programing languages. Paclets […]

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?
14 February 2023 @ 9:43 pm
That ChatGPT can automatically generate something that reads even superficially like human-written text is remarkable, and unexpected. But how does it do it? And why does it work? My purpose here is to give a rough outline of what’s going on inside ChatGPT—and then to explore why it is that it can do so well […]

ChatGPT: The Real World Is Changing. How Should Education React?
3 February 2023 @ 6:09 pm
Over the last few days, I’ve been asked how ChatGPT (particularly allied to Wolfram|Alpha) will affect education, how it relates to “computational literacy for all” and the computer-based mathematics education that my book The Math(s) Fix provides a blueprint for.
Wolfram is involved in Edtech in many other ways too; it will be great seeing how the full range of powerful integrations emerge that can deliver better education.
