Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com June 27, Windows 3.1 is an operating system that was released more than 30 years ago and has been eliminated and forgotten. However, some enthusiasts are unwilling to let it disappear, and they try to make it run some modern software and services. Recently, a developer created an application called WinGPT, which allows Windows 3.1 computers to connect to OpenAI's ChatGPT service to chat with artificial intelligence.

WinGPT is written in C and the standard API and controls of the Windows 3.1 era, and the developer says that the only non-native UI element is the status bar, because Microsoft does not provide it to developers, so he has to implement it himself. It is worth mentioning that WinGPT can communicate directly with OpenAI's API server using TLS 1.3, an encryption standard released in 2018, without the need for a modern operating system proxy machine to establish and maintain a connection.

Of course, WinGPT also has some obvious limitations. For example, due to limited memory support, WinGPT can only receive short replies and replies cannot contact the context of the chat.

If you want to try WinGPT, you can download it from the dialup.net website. WinGPT can be run on any 16-bit or 32-bit version of Windows, implemented through Winsock. In addition, CTOnews.com notes that you also need to enter your own OpenAI API key to run WinGPT.
