An Application Programming Interface (API) for an LLM like OpenAI GPT-4 acts as a bridge that allows external applications to access and use the model’s processing abilities.
An API allows sending requests (such as text inputs) to the LLM and receiving processed responses (like generated text), facilitating the integration of the LLM’s capabilities into different software applications.
Without an API, you are limited to a web browser interface. However, with an API, you can integrate the LLM into your own applications and automations.
