Due to the large amounts of energy they release, they have long been discussed as potential sources of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) - which however is challenged by the absence of neutrino detections in coincidence with GRBs. At the same time, the exact production mechanism of the prompt gamma-ray emission is still under debate. Focussing on the prompt phase, I will briefly review the current status of theoretical models, emphasizing especially the multi-messenger connection.
