OpenAI API Key
Why do I need OpenAI API Key ?
We need an API key to connect Jupyter notebooks with generative AI models such as the large language models (LLMs) of OpenAI like ChatGPT 3.5. This will allow you to interact with these LLMs through JupyterLab and get help as you code.
What is OpenAI ?
OpenAI is a leading AI research lab focused on developing advanced AI technologies such as ChatGPT and Text-embedding
What is OpenAI API?
OpenAI API is a tool that provides access to language models such as ChatGPT3.5 and ChatGPT4, and more importantly allows users to integrate these language models into their applications. In that case that would be integrating ChatGPT with JupyterLab to help you with Python coding.
What is OpenAI API Key ?
The OpenAI API Key is a special code that grants users access to the OpenAI API, allowing them to interact with the language models of OpenAI such as ChatGPT 3.5 through programming. This code is like a password, so you should not share this code with anyone.
Is OpenAI API Key free?
OpenAI offers both free and paid plans for using the API. Users can access the API for free with limited features during a trial period, after which they can choose a paid plan based on their usage needs. The charge for the paid services, such as ChatGPT 4 or other services like text-embedding, is based on usage rate, while using the free services like ChatGPT 3.5 may incur minimal or no charges. New users will have a free trial period with limits services, without needing to provide credit card information.
