New GPT-3 capabilities: Edit & insert
OpenAI released updated versions of GPT-3 and Codex that support editing and inserting content into existing text, expanding beyond the original completion-only paradigm. These new capabilities allow the models to make targeted modifications to text rather than only appending to it. The release represents an incremental but meaningful expansion of the GPT-3 API surface.
