whatmodel.sh / GPT-3 davinci (API base model)

GPT-3 davinci (API base model) is a closed-weights language model from OpenAI, released June 2020. Licence: proprietary.

Catalogue identity notes

The original OpenAI API base model 'davinci' (2020-2023), retired by OpenAI in January 2024. Not the 2023 replacement babbage-002/davinci-002 and not the InstructGPT 'text-' models. OpenAI never officially published its parameter count, so params_b is omitted.
