# davinci-002

> The larger of the two base models OpenAI shipped in August 2023, and the last thing to carry the davinci name — which had once meant the best model OpenAI had, from a time when the best model OpenAI had could only continue a sentence. It was sold as something to fine-tune rather than something to talk to. On 28 September the name leaves the API for good.
