GPT-Engineer is an AI-powered tool that can generate an entire codebase based on a prompt. It’s designed to learn how you want your code to look, making it a personalized tool for every developer. GPT-Engineer is built on top of the OpenAi GPT-4 language model (default), which is one of the most powerful language models in the world. GPT-4 is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, which allows it to generate code that is both accurate and idiomatic. As of writing, it is leading the trending GitHub repo with more than 30K stars in less than a week.
GPT-Engineer works by first asking you to provide a prompt. The prompt is a description of what you want the code to do. For example, you might provide a prompt like “Write a Python function that calculates the Fibonacci sequence.” Under the hood, the basic prompt is merged with the set of instructions and steps to generate the entire code base.
