Accessing large language models (LLMs) is commonly done through chat interfaces such as ChatGPT or Copilot (formerly Bing Chat). Even web browsers like Brave have integrated LLMs into their systems, like Leo, which can be accessed on Android devices. This method involves manually typing in a query and waiting for the system to process it.
However, another significant way to access LLMs is through a programming API. Depending on your preference, you can communicate with the model programmatically using languages like Python or C and receive a response. You can even access ChatGPT via Python using this method. However, it’s important to note that many of these APIs are not free and require payment based on usage.
