Reverse engineering ChatGPT's frontend web app + deep dive explorations of the code

Figured it would make sense to create a single gist collating my previous deep dive explorations and notes.. so here it is!

My Deep Dives (and others past feature leaks)

Jun 14th, 2023 (and all future updates)

You'll find my latest deep dives and continuing research within the following repo:

For the equivalent ongoing content that used to be included on this Gist, you probably want to look at the CHANGELOG.md:

I haven't looked at the ChatGPT source for a while, so I don't have my own personal discoveries for this one, but documenting the leaked features found by others here:

Given yesterday's announcement of ChatGPT plugin support in waitlisted beta; I figured it might be a good time to look at the frontend source again and see what I can turn up..

You can find my previous explorations here:

So I figured I would have a little look into the minified ChatGPT frontend source again today and see what I stumbled upon..

You can see my last exploration in the attached thread from the other day.

I wouldn't mind using a 'Web search' or 'Calculator' though..

The following wasn't found by me, but adding here as a historical archive:

Everything-ChatGPT

I also recently shared a number of these references in a GitHub issue to the 'everything-chatgpt' project, which seems to be similarly exploring the features and capabilities of the ChatGPT frontend app + API's:

As well as noting a few other bits of information that seemed outdated/missing:
