OpenAI has finally added Code Interpreter to ChatGPT, the most awaited feature that opens the door to so many possibilities. After ChatGPT Plugins, people have been waiting for Code Interpreter, which is now out of Alpha and released in Beta to ChatGPT Plus users. But what exactly is ChatGPT Code Interpreter and how does it work? To learn in detail, read on.

Code Interpreter is the newest feature in OpenAI ChatGPT (specifically with the GPT-4 model) that allows you to run Python code in a live working environment. It's basically a sandboxed Python environment where you can run Python code to perform any task you want. It may sound like a feature built for coders, but it can also help regular users with many tasks.

For example, you can ask Code Interpreter in ChatGPT to convert a PDF file with OCR, trim a video file or change the format, solve a math problem, perform data analysis and visualization, create graphs, charts and much more. As a result, Code Interpreter allows you to directly upload local files to ChatGPT in multiple formats.

Code Interpreter provides a temporary disk space also for uploading your files. It supports a variety of file formats including popular ones like TXT, PDF, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, PNG, MP4, AVI, CSV, JSON, XML, XLS, XLSX, CPP, PY, HTML, PDF, DB, SQLite, and much more . This is not an exhaustive list and a popular representation of file formats in different categories. You can check out the full list in the tweet below. ChatGPT Code Interpreter can access over 300 python packages.
