OpenAI and the developer platform Stack Overflow have announced a partnership that could potentially improve the performance of AI models and bring more technical information into ChatGPT.

OpenAI will have access to Stack Overflow’s API and will receive feedback from the developer community to improve the performance of AI models. OpenAI, in turn, will give Stack Overflow attribution — aka link to its contents — in ChatGPT. Users of the chatbot will see more information from Stack Overflow’s knowledge archive if they ask ChatGPT coding or technical questions. The companies write in the press release that this will “foster deeper engagement with content.”

Stack Overflow will use OpenAI’s large language models to expand its Overflow AI, the generative AI application it announced last year. Overflow AI would add AI-powered natural language search to Stack Overflow. Stack Overflow notes it will combine feedback from its community and internal testing of OpenAI models as it plans to make more AI products for its users.
