AI models can help code interpreters perform tasks such as solving math problems, analyzing data, and converting files between formats. To enable the code interpreter, users can go to Settings and enable beta features.

ChatGPT Plus takes things to the next level by integrating a code interpreter into its model. This allows ChatGPT to run code, optionally with access to files you've uploaded, and provide assistance with a range of tasks such as analyzing data, creating graphs, editing files, and performing mathematical calculations.

To get started with the code interpreter, ChatGPT Plus users can visit their settings, click on their name, select beta features, and toggle the features they'd like to try. Over the course of the next week, the code interpreter will be made available to all Web ChatGPT Plus users via the beta panel in the settings.

The AI models running on the ChatGPT platform work with a sandboxed Python interpreter, providing a natural interface for performing basic computing tasks. OpenAI encourages users to experiment with the feature to discover other potential applications.

Security is a top priority for the integration of the code interpreter, according to OpenAI. The execution of AI-generated code takes place in a secure environment, and network controls prevent external Internet access to the executed code. Resource limits are set for each session to ensure user security.

The code interpreter is probably the most fascinating ChatGPT plugin released directly by OpenAI, as it opens up entirely new possibilities for the chatbot. We have compiled a list of interesting usage examples for the Code Interpreter here.
