Why GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) Matters for AI Chatbots
GPT is the best-known family of LLMs for chatbot use, but it is not the only good choice. Anthropic's Claude is often better for grounded, long-context conversations; Google's Gemini is competitive on cost. Chatonbo lets you pick per-bot and switch anytime - so you are never locked in.
