Solana (SOL) users will soon be able to interact with the network through an open-source plugin enabled on OpenAI’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT.
The plugin will allow ChatGPT to check wallet balances, transfer Solana-native tokens and purchase nonfungible tokens (NFTs) when OpenAI makes plugins available, according to an April 25 tweet by Solana Labs, the development firm behind the Solana blockchain.
Solana Labs is also encouraging developers to test out the open-source code to retrieve on-chain data that they may be interested in.

It appears as though Solana Labs is now placing more focus on AI, having also announced on April 25 that it will provide $1 million in funding towards projects that build AI tools on Solana:

ChatGPT users can now delete chat history
On the same day, OpenAI announced ChatGPT users can now “turn off” their chat history, thanks to a new privacy feature.
The team announced the rollout of the new feature in an April 25 statement, which was launched to provide users with more control over their data. The firm added:
“Conversations that are started when chat history is disabled won’t be used to train and…
