Design of a ChatGPT System

We have identified the requirements, storage needs, and foundational components. Now, we will detail the system design to understand how these components ensure real-time, context-aware conversations.

High-level design of ChatGPT

The high-level design illustrates how the system handles real-time conversations. The following workflow outlines the component interactions.

The workflow for the high-level design is provided below:

  1. User input: The user submits a text prompt via the interface or API.

  2. Gateway processing: The API gateway authenticates the request, applies rate limiting, manages the session, and forwards the prompt to the model server.

  3. Model inference: The AI model processes the prompt using conversation history. Responses are cached for retrieval and logged in the database.

  4. Response delivery: The generated response is returned to the user via the API gateway.

  5. Feedback loop: User feedback is collected to improve system performance and fine-tune future models. ...
