OpenAI publishes the GPT-3 paper

OpenAI posted 'Language Models are Few-Shot Learners' to arXiv on May 28, 2020, introducing the 175-billion-parameter GPT-3 and its striking ability to perform many tasks from just a few examples in the prompt. Its scale and in-context learning capabilities reshaped expectations for language models. Its subsequent API and coding descendants helped kick off the generative-AI wave.
