GPT stands for Global Pizza Tour
Before ChatGPT’s rise to stardom, the humble pizza had already conquered the globe — capturing hearts and palates everywhere.
Swap a slice for a token, and pizza-making reveals the recipe behind ChatGPT’s success.

The journey of creation begins with fresh ingredients.
Rustic flour paired with vibrant tomato sauce and the freshest toppings.
For ChatGPT, high-quality data is the equivalent of fresh ingredients.
No expense is spared to acquire the best data, whether licensing from trusted sources, or processing data by hand.
Procuring high-quality data resembles the orchestrated symphony behind every Michelin-starred kitchen — a sacred and mythical process.
Pizza’s history mirrors this refined artistry.
Its roots span centuries of experimentation — millions of organic trials and errors.
Some born of curiosity, others produced in times of scarcity.
A chaotic cadence endlessly testing a multitude of flavours.
There is no method to the madness — no grand strategy.
Like the slow magic of stalagmite formation, a pizza style gradually crystallises.
The Emergence of Intelligence
Tomato and cheese form the perfect balance — umami, tartness, and creamy goodness.
With the passing of time, distinct styles surface.
First came Margherita, then Neapolitan.
Millions of pizzas and ingredients later, a rich ecosystem of pizza styles flourished worldwide.
A Cambrian explosion giving rise to thin-crust NYC slices, Chicago’s deep dish, and hearty Sicilian squares.
The creation of each pizza style was natural, never forced.
Each style proudly worn as a badge of honour by the communities whose heritage shaped them.
An undeniable mark of cultural evolution.
No one, past or present, can fully recount how each style emerged.
The beauty lies not in knowing, but in experiencing.
Everyone knew the magic lay in collective trial and error — in shared moments.
Training a large language model like ChatGPT embodies the same spirit, born from the rich synthesis of diverse human experiences.
The Oven Never Cools
No one can predict the timing or shape of these emergent capabilities.
What remains constant is the stepwise evolution of the models — just like pizza.
The key difference between the evolution of pizza styles and ChatGPT is the speed of progress.
Pizza’s emergence unfolded organically, spanning decades — even a lifetime.
Now imagine every oven, brick or electric, churning out pizzas tirelessly.
As if the world’s supply of flour and tomatoes were funnelled into a singular pursuit.
No wonder ChatGPT took the world by storm.
Yet, the global tour has just begun — new styles, flavours, and forms still await discovery.
The oven stays hot. The tokens keep flowing.
The show goes on.
