Q&A · 22
Metaphor stands out from traditional search engines because it is powered by a language model that makes sense of language in a more expressive and creative manner. Unlike its predecessors, Metaphor is designed to understand and respond to prompts, akin to GPT-3 prompts, by predicting the most relevant link that may come after.
The operative core of Metaphor is a language model, similar to the GPT-3 model, that is trained to predict and provide link-based solutions to user prompts.
Metaphor is capable of providing a wide array of results, including blog posts, Wikipedia pages, resource directories, demos, startups, books and papers. It can also suggest music and yield other creative outcomes.
Prompts in Metaphor work in a way similar to GPT-3. Users type their query or statement in a creative and expressive manner, and Metaphor uses its language model to predict the most fitting link that could follow the prompt.
Metaphor can help you find a diverse range of content. Particularly, it can guide you to resources relevant to AI, including languages and classic AI algorithms. It can also lead you to music, blog posts, papers, demos, startups, books, and much more.
