Where ChatGPT fits
Use it when an iterative conversation helps you develop or examine a piece of work.
Check before you choose
Review generated answers and check data settings before uploading private material.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Start by deciding whether your task needs a hosted service or a model running on your own hardware. A chat assistant, a code editor and a local runtime solve different problems even when they use similar models.
