The developers of ChatGPT took to the OpenAI blog to announce a new version of GPT-3.5-turbo and GPT-4. GPT-4 and GPT-3.5-turbo, as OpenAI explains in its blog post, will be getting a feature called "Function Calling", which will allow developers to create chatbots that can outsource made requests to external tools such as ChatGPT plugins. Furthermore, OpenAI has added features such as converting natural language into database queries.

An example of that would be, "Email Anya to see if she wants to get coffee next Friday" to "send_email(to: string, body: string)". Another example would be "What's the weather like in Boston?" to "get_current_weather(location: string, unit: 'celsius' | 'fahrenheit')." The feature also works for converting natural language into API calls or database queries. An example would be converting the prompt, "Who are my top ten customers this month?", which would convert to "get_customers_by_revenue(start_date: string, end_date: string, limit: int)".
