Hello World

In this lab, we run the simplest code possible to test using the OpenAI API using a low-cost small model.

This program should also test that the OPENAI_API_KEY is correctly stored in .env file that is NEVER checked into GitHub by correctly adding it to the .gitignore file. Check this now by running the following commmand:

cat .gitignore

You should see somthing like:

site
.vscode
.DS_Store
.cache
~$*
.env

To keep our testing costs low, we will use the GPT 3.5 Turbo Model

OPENAI_MODEL='gpt-3.5-turbo'

Sample Program

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
  max_tokens=1,
  messages=[
    {"role": "user", "content": "What is the opposite of up?  Answer in a single word."}
  ]
)

print(completion.choices[0].message)
