The Davinci Model from OpenAI
The text-davinci-003 model, often called "Davinci", was one of OpenAI's flagship engines for text generation based on prompts, launched in 2020 as a fine-tuned variant of GPT-3. It excelled in text completion, reasoning, and creative tasks, with a Transformer architecture enabling in-context learning (few-shot learning). Contrary to an erroneous description linking it to 3D modelling (which seems confused with tools like Point-E or Shap-E from OpenAI for text-to-3D generation), Davinci was strictly textual, adapted for public cloud deployment for quick rollout. OpenAI's founders include Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, Wojciech Zaremba, and Elon Musk – not Dimitry Ioffe or Pieter Abbeel, who are external researchers.
In 2025, Davinci has been deprecated since January 2024 and removed from the OpenAI API in favour of more advanced models like GPT-4o and GPT-4.5, which offer better efficiency, reduced hallucinations, and native multimodality (text, image, audio). The first tests of GPT-3 (Davinci's base) date from 2020, not 2017, and focused on NLP, not 3D. For additive manufacturing, tools like DALL-E 3 or Stable Diffusion are more suitable today.
Example Brief for Prompt with Davinci (Updated for Modern API)
The original example uses the deprecated openai.completion.create API. Here is an updated version for 2025 using openai.ChatCompletion.create with GPT-4o-mini (replacing Davinci for better performance and reduced cost):
import os
import openai
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-4o-mini",
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant specialized in prompt engineering."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Which parameters are needed to create the best prompt script for Artificial Intelligence algorithms?"}
],
temperature=0.8,
max_tokens=70,
top_p=1.0,
frequency_penalty=0.0,
presence_penalty=0.0
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
This update integrates the conversational format, more effective for prompt engineering, and uses similar hyperparameters (temperature for creativity, max_tokens for length, etc.).
AI Model Comparison: GPT-3, GPT-NEO, T5, MT-NLG, Wu Dao and Evolutions
These models are Transformer overlays for specific uses in NLP and generation. In 2025, they are overshadowed by GPT-5 (estimated at 10-100T params) and competitors like Claude 3.5 or Gemini 2.0, but remain relevant for legacy tasks or open-source. Trending tools: Jasper (marketing content), Rytr (writing), Copy.ai (copywriting). For semantic search: BERT (vector alignment via Rocchio-like algo), MUM (Google multimodal).
| Model | Parameters | Framework | Main Focus | 2025 Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPT-3 (OpenAI) | 175B | PyTorch (Transformer) | NLP, text generation, few-shot learning | Deprecated; replaced by GPT-4o (200B-1.8T estimated) |
| GPT-NEO (EleutherAI) | 1.3B-2.7B | PyTorch | Open-source GPT-like for research | Active in fine-tuning; surpassed by Llama 3 (70B) |
| T5 (Google) | 220M-11B | TensorFlow/PyTorch | Text-to-text tasks (translation, summarisation) | Integrated into PaLM; obsolete vs Gemini |
| MT-NLG (Microsoft/NVIDIA) | 530B | PyTorch | Text and code generation; largest dense in 2021 | Withdrawn; succeeded by Phi-3 (3.8B, efficient) |
| Wu Dao 2.0 (BAAI) | 1.75T | PyTorch (FastMoE) | Multimodal (Chinese text, images) | Evolved into Wu Dao 3.0; strong in Chinese few-shot |
Challenge: Predictions of 100T for GPT-4 were exaggerated; reality ~1.8T, with GPT-5 potentially reaching 10T+ in 2025. For prompt engineering, these models highlight the importance of hyperparameters (temperature, top_p) and "model as a service" (MaaS). Open resources: Hugging Face for GPT-NEO/T5.

Comparison: DALL-E (OpenAI) vs Wu Dao 2.0
Wu Dao 2.0, developed by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI), is a massive multimodal model launched in 2021, surpassing GPT-3 in size with 1.75 billion parameters. DALL-E, on the other hand, is a text-to-image generation model developed by OpenAI, based on a Transformer architecture similar to GPT-3 but optimised for visual tasks. While Wu Dao 2.0 integrates textual and visual capabilities, DALL-E excels specifically in creative image generation. Here is a detailed comparison with GPT-3 for context.
Main Technical Characteristics
| Criterion | DALL-E (OpenAI) | Wu Dao 2.0 | GPT-3 (OpenAI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Parameters | 12 billion (DALL-E 1) | 1.75 billion | 175 billion |
| Training Dataset Size | ~250 million image-text pairs (filtered) | 4.9 TB (text and images) | ~570 GB (filtered text, estimates up to 45 TB unfiltered) |
| Main Framework | PyTorch (based on Transformer) | PyTorch with FastMoE for scaling | PyTorch (custom Transformer architecture) |
| Multimodality | Yes (text to image) | Yes (text and images simultaneously) | No (text only) |
| Supported Languages | Mainly English | English and Chinese | Mainly English, multilingual capabilities |
What is the Best Artificial Intelligence?
For several years, artificial intelligence (AI) has been the subject of intensive research to reproduce human cognitive capabilities, as defined by the Larousse: "the science concerned with the design and implementation of machines capable of reproducing the essential characteristics of human intelligence". Models like GPT-3, DALL-E, and Wu Dao 2.0 illustrate these advances, but determining "the best" depends on criteria: size, versatility, performance on benchmarks, or specific applications.
In terms of general cognitive capabilities, GPT-3 excels in reasoning and linguistic understanding, with applications in text generation, translation, and speech recognition. DALL-E stands out in creative image generation from textual prompts, often surpassing competitors in visual creativity. Wu Dao 2.0, with its multimodality, integrates text and images for hybrid tasks, such as caption generation or visual analysis, and surpasses GPT-3 in raw scale (10 times more parameters).
However, none is perfect. GPT-3 and DALL-E lack native multimodality beyond their domains, while Wu Dao 2.0, though powerful, is limited by its focus on English and Chinese, and less globally accessible. In 2025, successors like GPT-4o or Wu Dao 3.0 have surpassed these models: Wu Dao 3.0 excels in few-shot learning on SuperGLUE, surpassing GPT-3, and integrates audio and video capabilities for increased versatility. Experts often consider GPT-4o the current leader for its speed and adaptability, but Wu Dao 3.0 emerges as a challenger in Chinese multimodality.
Today, these AIs are transforming fields like facial recognition (Wu Dao strong in object detection), translation (GPT-3 versatile), and artistic creation (DALL-E). GPT-3 handles complex questions and learns from massive data; DALL-E forms abstract visual concepts; Wu Dao analyses thousands of images in seconds for multimodal insights. While GPT-3 remains iconic, Wu Dao (and its iterations) could surpass it in the long term in scale and sensory integration.
