To chat with GPT-3.5 on Visual Studio Code (VS Code), you can use the OpenAI API to interact with the model. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set it up:
Install the OpenAI Python package:
- Open a terminal or command prompt.
- Run the following command:
pip install openai
Obtain your OpenAI API key:
- Visit the OpenAI website and log in to your account.
- Navigate to the API section and find your API key or generate a new one if needed.
Set up your project in VS Code:
- Create a new folder or open an existing project in VS Code.
- Inside the project folder, create a new Python file (e.g.,
chat.py).
Import the required modules and set up your API key:
- In
chat.py, import theopenaimodule by adding the following line at the top: - python
import openai - Set your OpenAI API key by adding the following line to your code, replacing
'YOUR_API_KEY'with your actual API key: - python
openai.api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
- In
Implement the chat loop:
Write a function to send a prompt to GPT-3.5 and receive the model's response. For example:
python
def send_message(message):
response = openai.Completion.create( engine='text-davinci-003', prompt=message, max_tokens=50, temperature=0.8, n=1, stop=None, timeout=10, ) return response.choices[0].text.strip()
This function uses the
openai.Completion.create method to send a message to the model and receive a response. You can customize the parameters based on your preferences.Create a chat loop to continuously send and receive messages. For example:
python
while True:
user_input = input("User: ") response = send_message(user_input) print("ChatGPT: " + response)
Run the chat program:
- Open a terminal within VS Code.
- Navigate to the project folder (where
chat.pyis located). - Run the command:
python chat.py
Now you can start chatting with GPT-3.5 in the VS Code terminal. The program will continuously prompt you for input and provide responses generated by the model. Feel free to customize the chat loop and message handling according to your specific requirements.
