async static call_api(url, headers, request_json)[source]

Make an asyncronous OpenAI API call.

Parameters:
  • url (str) –

    OpenAI API url, typically either:

    https://api.openai.com/v1/embeddings https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions

  • headers (dict) –

    OpenAI API headers, typically:
    {“Content-Type”: “application/json”,

    “Authorization”: f”Bearer {openai.api_key}”}

  • request_json (dict) –

    API data input, typically looks like this for chat completion:
    {“model”: “gpt-3.5-turbo”,
    “messages”: [{“role”: “system”, “content”: “You do this…”},

    {“role”: “user”, “content”: “Do this: {}”}],

    “temperature”: 0.0}

Returns:

out (dict) – API response in json format

async call_api_async(url, headers, all_request_jsons, ignore_error=None, rate_limit=40000.0)[source]

Use GPT to clean raw pdf text in parallel calls to the OpenAI API.

NOTE: you need to call this using the await command in ipython or jupyter, e.g.: out = await PDFtoTXT.clean_txt_async()

Parameters:
  • url (str) –

    OpenAI API url, typically either:

    https://api.openai.com/v1/embeddings https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions

  • headers (dict) –

    OpenAI API headers, typically:
    {“Content-Type”: “application/json”,

    “Authorization”: f”Bearer {openai.api_key}”}

  • all_request_jsons (list) – List of API data input, one entry typically looks like this for chat completion:

    {“model”: “gpt-3.5-turbo”,
    “messages”: [{“role”: “system”, “content”: “You do this…”},

    {“role”: “user”, “content”: “Do this: {}”}],

    “temperature”: 0.0}

  • ignore_error (None | callable) – Optional callable to parse API error string. If the callable returns True, the error will be ignored, the API call will not be tried again, and the output will be an empty string.

  • rate_limit (float) – OpenAI API rate limit (tokens / minute). Note that the gpt-3.5-turbo limit is 90k as of 4/2023, but we’re using a large factor of safety (~1/2) because we can only count the tokens on the input side and assume the output is about the same count.

Returns:

out (list) – List of API outputs where each list entry is a GPT answer from the corresponding message in the all_request_jsons input.

chat(query, temperature=0)[source]

Have a continuous chat with the LLM including context from previous chat() calls stored as attributes in this class.

Parameters:
  • query (str) – Question to ask ChatGPT

  • temperature (float) – GPT model temperature, a measure of response entropy from 0 to 1. 0 is more reliable and nearly deterministic; 1 will give the model more creative freedom and may not return as factual of results.

Returns:

response (str) – Model response

generic_query(query, model_role=None, temperature=0)[source]

Ask a generic single query without conversation

Parameters:
  • query (str) – Question to ask ChatGPT

  • model_role (str | None) – Role for the model to take, e.g.: “You are a research assistant”. This defaults to self.MODEL_ROLE

  • temperature (float) – GPT model temperature, a measure of response entropy from 0 to 1. 0 is more reliable and nearly deterministic; 1 will give the model more creative freedom and may not return as factual of results.

Returns:

response (str) – Model response

async generic_async_query(queries, model_role=None, temperature=0, ignore_error=None, rate_limit=40000.0)[source]

Run a number of generic single queries asynchronously (not conversational)

NOTE: you need to call this using the await command in ipython or jupyter, e.g.: out = await Summary.run_async()

Parameters:
  • query (list) – Questions to ask ChatGPT (list of strings)

  • model_role (str | None) – Role for the model to take, e.g.: “You are a research assistant”. This defaults to self.MODEL_ROLE

  • temperature (float) – GPT model temperature, a measure of response entropy from 0 to 1. 0 is more reliable and nearly deterministic; 1 will give the model more creative freedom and may not return as factual of results.

  • ignore_error (None | callable) – Optional callable to parse API error string. If the callable returns True, the error will be ignored, the API call will not be tried again, and the output will be an empty string.

  • rate_limit (float) – OpenAI API rate limit (tokens / minute). Note that the gpt-3.5-turbo limit is 90k as of 4/2023, but we’re using a large factor of safety (~1/2) because we can only count the tokens on the input side and assume the output is about the same count.

Returns:

response (list) – Model responses with same length as query input.

classmethod get_embedding(text)[source]

Get the 1D array (list) embedding of a text string.

Parameters:

text (str) – Text to embed
