https://platform.openai.com

Your API keys will be available here:

https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys

Note: The ability to use models within the application depends on the API user's access to a given model!

Chat, completion, assistants and vision (GPT-4, GPT-3.5, Langchain)

Chat (+ inline Vision and Image generation)

This mode in PyGPT mirrors ChatGPT, allowing you to chat with models such as GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-3.5, and GPT-3. It's easy to switch models whenever you want. It works by using the ChatCompletion API.

The main part of the interface is a chat window where conversations appear. Right below that is where you type your messages. On the right side of the screen, there's a section to set up or change your system prompts. You can also save these setups as presets to quickly switch between different models or tasks.

Above where you type your messages, the interface shows you the number of tokens your message will use up as you type it – this helps to keep track of usage. There's also a feature to upload files in this area. Go to the Files tab to manage your uploads or add attachments to send to the OpenAI API (but this makes effect only in Assisant and Vision modes).

Vision: If you want to send photos or image from camera to analysis you must enable plugin GPT-4 Vision Inline in the Plugins menu. Plugin allows you to send photos or image from camera to analysis in any Chat mode:

With this plugin, you can capture an image with your camera or attach an image and send it for analysis to discuss the photograph:

Image generation: If you want to generate images (using DALL-E) directly in chat you must enable plugin DALL-E 3 Inline in the Plugins menu. Plugin allows you to generate images in Chat mode:

Completion

This advanced mode provides in-depth access to a broader range of capabilities offered by Large Language Models (LLMs). While it maintains a chat-like interface for user interaction, it introduces additional settings and functional richness beyond typical chat exchanges. Users can leverage this mode to prompt models for complex text completions, role-play dialogues between different characters, perform text analysis, and execute a variety of other sophisticated tasks. It supports any model provided by the OpenAI API as well as other models through Langchain.

Similar to chat mode, on the right-hand side of the interface, there are convenient presets. These allow you to fine-tune instructions and swiftly transition between varied configurations and pre-made prompt templates.

Additionally, this mode offers options for labeling the AI and the user, making it possible to simulate dialogues between specific characters - for example, you could create a conversation between Batman and the Joker, as predefined in the prompt. This feature presents a range of creative possibilities for setting up different conversational scenarios in an engaging and exploratory manner.

In this mode, models from the davinci family within GPT-3 are available. Note: The davinci models are tagged for deprecation in the near future.

Assistants

This mode uses the new OpenAI's Assistants API.

This mode expands on the basic chat functionality by including additional external tools like a Code Interpreter for executing code, Retrieval Files for accessing files, and custom Functions for enhanced interaction and integration with other APIs or services. In this mode, you can easily upload and download files. PyGPT streamlines file management, enabling you to quickly upload documents and manage files created by the model.

Setting up new assistants is simple - a single click is all it takes, and they instantly sync with the OpenAI API. Importing assistants you've previously created with OpenAI into PyGPT is also a seamless process.

In Assistant mode you are allowed to storage your files (per Assistant) and manage them easily from app:

Please note that token usage calculation is unavailable in this mode. Nonetheless, file (attachment) uploads are supported. Simply navigate to the Files tab to effortlessly manage files and attachments which can be sent to the OpenAI API.

Vision (GPT-4 Vision)

This mode enables image analysis using the GPT-4 Vision model. Functioning much like the chat mode, it also allows you to upload images or provide URLs to images. The vision feature can analyze both local images and those found online.

From version 2.0.68 - Vision is integrated into any chat mode via plugin GPT-4 Vision (inline). Just enable plugin and use Vision in standard modes.

From version 2.0.14 - Vision mode also includes real-time video capture from camera. To enable capture check the option Camera on the right-bottom corner. It will enable real-time capturing from your camera. To capture image from camera and append it to chat just click on video at left side. You can also enable Auto capture - image will be captured and appended to chat message every time you send message.

1) Video camera real-time image capture

2) you can also provide an image URL

3) or you can just upload your local images

4) or just use the inline Vision in the standard chat mode.

Langchain

This mode enables you to work with models that are supported by Langchain. The Langchain support is integrated into the application, allowing you to interact with any LLM by simply supplying a configuration file for the specific model. You can add as many models as you like; just list them in the configuration file named models.json.

Available LLMs providers supported by PyGPT:

- OpenAI
- Azure OpenAI
- HuggingFace
- Anthropic
- Llama 2
- Ollama

You have the ability to add custom model wrappers for models that are not available by default in PyGPT. To integrate a new model, you can create your own wrapper and register it with the application. Detailed instructions for this process are provided in the section titled Managing models / Adding models via Langchain.

Index (llama-index)

This mode enables direct interaction with your documents through conversation. It seamlessly incorporates Llama-index into the chat interface, allowing for immediate querying of your indexed documents. To begin, you must first index the files you wish to include. Simply copy or upload them into the data directory and initiate indexing by clicking the Index all button, or right-click on a file and select Index.... Additionally, you have the option to utilize data from indexed files in any Chat mode by activating the Llama-index (inline) plugin.

Built-in file loaders: text files, pdf, csv, md, docx, json, epub, xlsx.

From version 2.0.100 Llama-index is also integrated with database - you can use data from database (your history contexts) as additional context in discussion.

Files and attachments

Input (upload)

PyGPT makes it simple for users to upload files to the server and send them to the model for tasks like analysis, similar to attaching files in ChatGPT. There's a separate Files tab next to the text input area specifically for managing file uploads. Users can opt to have files automatically deleted after each upload or keep them on the list for repeated use.

The attachment feature is available in both the Assistant and Vision modes.

Files (download, generation)

PyGPT enables the automatic download and saving of files created by the model. This is carried out in the background, with the files being saved to an data folder located within the user's working directory. To view or manage these files, users can navigate to the Files tab which features a file browser for this specific directory. Here, users have the interface to handle all files sent by the AI.

This data directory is also where the application stores files that are generated locally by the AI, such as code files or any other data requested from the model. Users have the option to execute code directly from the stored files and read their contents, with the results fed back to the AI. This hands-off process is managed by the built-in plugin system and model-triggered commands. You can also indexing files from this directory (using integrated Llama-index) and use it's contents as additional context provided to discussion.

The Command: Files I/O plugin takes care of file operations in the data directory, while the Command: Code Interpreter plugin allows for the execution of code from these files.

To allow the model to manage files or python code execution, the Execute commands option must be active, along with the above-mentioned plugins:

Context and memory

Short and long-term memory

PyGPT features a continuous chat mode that maintains a long context of the ongoing dialogue. It preserves the entire conversation history and automatically appends it to each new message (prompt) you send to the AI. Additionally, you have the flexibility to revisit past conversations whenever you choose. The application keeps a record of your chat history, allowing you to resume discussions from the exact point you stopped.

Handling multiple contexts

On the left side of the application interface, there is a panel that displays a list of saved conversations. You can save numerous contexts and switch between them with ease. This feature allows you to revisit and continue from any point in a previous conversation. PyGPT automatically generates a summary for each context, akin to the way ChatGPT operates and gives you the option to modify these titles itself.

You can disable context support in the settings by using the following option:

Config -> Settings -> Use context 

Clearing history

You can clear the entire memory (all contexts) by selecting the menu option:

File -> Clear history...

Context storage

On the application side, the context is stored in the user's directory as JSON files. In addition, all history is also saved to .txt files for easy reading.

Once a conversation begins, a title for the chat is generated and displayed on the list to the left. This process is similar to ChatGPT, where the subject of the conversation is summarized, and a title for the thread is created based on that summary. You can change the name of the thread at any time.

Presets

What is preset?

Presets in PyGPT are essentially templates used to store and quickly apply different configurations. Each preset includes settings for the mode you want to use (such as chat, completion, or image generation), an initial system message, an assigned name for the AI, a username for the session, and the desired "temperature" for the conversation. A warmer "temperature" setting allows the AI to provide more creative responses, while a cooler setting encourages more predictable replies. These presets can be used across various modes and with models accessed via the OpenAI API or Langchain.

The system lets you create as many presets as needed and easily switch among them. Additionally, you can clone an existing preset, which is useful for creating variations based on previously set configurations and experimentation.

Example usage

The application includes several sample presets that help you become acquainted with the mechanism of their use.

Images generation (DALL-E 3 and DALL-E 2)

DALL-E 3

PyGPT enables quick and straightforward image creation with DALL-E 3. The older model version, DALL-E 2, is also accessible. Generating images is akin to a chat conversation - a user's prompt triggers the generation, followed by downloading, saving to the computer, and displaying the image onscreen. You can send raw prompt to DALL-E in Image generation mode or ask the model for the best prompt.

From version 2.0.68 (released 2023-12-31) image generation using DALL-E is available in every mode via plugin DALL-E 3 Image Generation (inline). Just ask any model, in any mode, like e.g. GPT-4 to generate an image and it will do it inline, without need to mode change.

If you want to generate images (using DALL-E) directly in chat you must enable plugin DALL-E 3 Inline in the Plugins menu. Plugin allows you to generate images in Chat mode:

Multiple variants

You can generate up to 4 different variants (DALL-E 2) for a given prompt in one session. DALL-E 3 allows one image. To select the desired number of variants to create, use the slider located in the right-hand corner at the bottom of the screen. This replaces the conversation temperature slider when you switch to image generation mode.

Raw mode

There is an option for switching prompt generation mode.

If Raw Mode is enabled, DALL-E will receive the prompt exactly as you have provided it. If Raw Mode is disabled, GPT will generate the best prompt for you based on your instructions.

Image storage

Once you've generated an image, you can easily save it anywhere on your disk by right-clicking on it. You also have the options to delete it or view it in full size in your web browser.

Tip: Use presets to save your prepared prompts. This lets you quickly use them again for generating new images later on.

The app keeps a history of all your prompts, allowing you to revisit any session and reuse previous prompts for creating new images.

Images are stored in img directory in PyGPT user data folder.

Managing models

All models are specified in the configuration file models.json, which you can customize. This file is located in your working directory. You can add new models provided directly by OpenAI API and those supported by Langchain to this file. Configuration for Langchain wrapper is placed in langchain key.

Adding custom LLMs via Langchain

To add a new model using the Langchain wrapper in PyGPT, insert the model's configuration details into the models.json file. This should include the model's name, its supported modes (either chat, completion, or both), the LLM provider (which can be either e.g. OpenAI or HuggingFace), and, if you are using a HuggingFace model, an optional API KEY.

Example of models configuration - models.json:

"gpt-4-1106-preview": {
    "id": "gpt-4-1106-preview",
    "name": "gpt-4-turbo-1106",
    "mode": [
        "chat",
        "assistant",
        "langchain"
    ],
    "langchain": {
            "provider": "openai",
            "mode": [
                "chat"
            ],
            "args": {
                "model_name": "gpt-4-1106-preview"
            }
        },
        "ctx"
    "ctx": 128000,
    "tokens": 4096
},
"google/flan-t5-xxl": {
    "id": "google/flan-t5-xxl",
    "name": "Google - flan-t5-xxl",
    "mode": [
        "langchain"
    ],
    "langchain": {
        "provider": "huggingface",
        "mode": [
            "chat"
        ],
        "args": {
            "repo_id": "google/flan-t5-xxl"
        },
        "api_key": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
    },
    "ctx": 4096,
    "tokens": 4096
},

There is bult-in support for those LLMs providers:

- OpenAI (openai)
- Azure OpenAI (azure_openai)
- HuggingFace (huggingface)
- Anthropic (anthropic)
- Llama 2 (llama2)
- Ollama (ollama)

Adding custom LLM providers

Handling LLMs with Langchain is implemented through separated wrappers. This allows for the addition of support for any provider and model available via Langchain. All built-in wrappers for the models and its providers are placed in the llm directory.

These wrappers are loaded into the application during startup using launcher.add_llm() method:

# app.py

from pygpt_net.llm.OpenAI import OpenAILLM
from pygpt_net.llm.AzureOpenAI import AzureOpenAILLM
from pygpt_net.llm.Anthropic import AnthropicLLM
from pygpt_net.llm.HuggingFace import HuggingFaceLLM
from pygpt_net.llm.Llama2 import Llama2LLM
from pygpt_net.llm.Ollama import OllamaLLM

def run(plugins=None, llms=None):
    """Runs the app."""
    # Initialize the app
    launcher = Launcher()
    launcher.init()

    # Register plugins
    ...

    # Register langchain LLMs wrappers
    launcher.add_llm(OpenAILLM())
    launcher.add_llm(AzureOpenAILLM())
    launcher.add_llm(AnthropicLLM())
    launcher.add_llm(HuggingFaceLLM())
    launcher.add_llm(Llama2LLM())
    launcher.add_llm(OllamaLLM())

    # Launch the app
    launcher.run()

To add support for providers not included by default, you can create your own wrapper that returns a custom model to the application and then pass this custom wrapper to the launcher.

Extending PyGPT with custom plugins and LLM wrappers is straightforward:

• Pass instances of custom plugins and LLM wrappers directly to the launcher.

To register custom LLM wrappers:

• Provide a list of LLM wrapper instances as the second argument when initializing the custom app launcher.

Example:

# my_launcher.py

from pygpt_net.app import run
from my_plugins import MyCustomPlugin, MyOtherCustomPlugin
from my_llms import MyCustomLLM

plugins = [
    MyCustomPlugin(),
    MyOtherCustomPlugin(),
]
llms = [
    MyCustomLLM(),
]

run(plugins, llms)  # <-- LLMs as the second argument

To integrate your own model or provider into PyGPT, you can reference the sample classes located in the llm directory of the application. These samples can act as an example for your custom class. Ensure that your custom wrapper class includes two essential methods: chat and completion. These methods should return the respective objects required for the model to operate in chat and completion modes.

Plugins

The application can be enhanced with plugins to add new features.

The following plugins are currently available, and GPT can use them instantly:

• Command: Google Web Search - allows searching the internet via the Google Custom Search Engine.

• Command: Files I/O - grants access to the local filesystem, enabling GPT to read and write files, as well as list and create directories.

• Command: Code Interpreter - responsible for generating and executing Python code, functioning much like the Code Interpreter on ChatGPT, but locally. This means GPT can interface with any script, application, or code. The plugin can also execute system commands, allowing GPT to integrate with your operating system. Plugins can work in conjunction to perform sequential tasks; for example, the Files plugin can write generated Python code to a file, which the Code Interpreter can execute it and return its result to GPT.

• Command: Custom Commands - allows you to create and execute custom commands on your system.

• Audio Output (Microsoft Azure) - provides voice synthesis using the Microsoft Azure Text To Speech API.

• Audio Output (OpenAI TTS) - provides voice synthesis using the OpenAI Text To Speech API.

• Audio Input (OpenAI Whisper) - offers speech recognition through the OpenAI Whisper API.

• Autonomous Mode: AI to AI conversation - Enables autonomous conversation (AI to AI), manages loop, and connects output back to input.

• Real Time - automatically adds the current date and time to prompts, informing the model of the real-time moment.

• DALL-E 3: Image Generation (inline) - integrates DALL-E 3 image generation with any chat and mode. Just enable and ask for image in Chat mode, using standard model like GPT-4. The plugin does not require the "Execute commands" option to be enabled.

• GPT-4 Vision (inline) - integrates Vision capabilities with any chat mode, not just Vision mode. When the plugin is enabled, the model temporarily switches to vision in the background when an image attachment or vision capture is provided.

• Llama-index (inline) - plugin integrates Llama-index storage in any chat and provides additional knowledge into context (from indexed files and previous context from database). Experimental.

• Crontab / Task scheduler - plugin provides cron-based job scheduling - you can schedule tasks/prompts to be sent at any time using cron-based syntax for task setup.

Command: Files I/O

The plugin allows for file management within the local filesystem. It enables the model to create, read, and write files and directories located in the data directory, which can be found in the user's work directory. With this plugin, the AI can also generate Python code files and thereafter execute that code within the user's system.

Plugin capabilities include:

• Reading files
• Appending to files
• Writing files
• Deleting files and directories
• Listing files and directories
• Creating directories
• Downloading files
• Copying files and directories
• Moving (renaming) files and directories
• Reading file info

If a file being created (with the same name) already exists, a prefix including the date and time is added to the file name.

Options:

• Enable: Read file cmd_read_file

Allows read_file command. Default: True

• Enable: Append to file cmd_append_file

Allows append_file command. Default: True

• Enable: Get file size cmd_file_size

Allows file_size command. Default: True

• Enable: Get file info cmd_file_info

Allows file_info command. Default: True

Command: Code Interpreter

Executing Code

The plugin operates similarly to the Code Interpreter in ChatGPT, with the key difference that it works locally on the user's system. It allows for the execution of any Python code on the computer that the model may generate. When combined with the Command: Files I/O plugin, it facilitates running code from files saved in the data directory. You can also prepare your own code files and enable the model to use them or add your own plugin for this purpose. You can execute commands and code on the host machine or in Docker container.

Executing system commands

Another feature is the ability to execute system commands and return their results. With this functionality, the plugin can run any system command, retrieve the output, and then feed the result back to the model. When used with other features, this provides extensive integration capabilities with the system.

Options:

• Python command template python_cmd_tpl

Python command template (use {filename} as path to file placeholder). Default: python3 {filename}

• Enable: Python Code Generate and Execute cmd_code_execute

Allows Python code execution (generate and execute from file). Default: True

• Enable: Python Code Execute (File) cmd_code_execute_file

Allows Python code execution from existing file. Default: True

• Enable: System Command Execute cmd_sys_exec

Allows system commands execution. Default: True

• Sandbox (docker container) sandbox_docker

Executes commands in sandbox (docker container). Docker must be installed and running. Default: False

• Docker image sandbox_docker_image

Docker image to use for sandbox Default: python:3.8-alpine

Command: Custom Commands

With the Custom Commands plugin, you can integrate PyGPT with your operating system and scripts or applications. You can define an unlimited number of custom commands and instruct GPT on when and how to execute them. Configuration is straightforward, and PyGPT includes a simple tutorial command for testing and learning how it works:

To add a new custom command, click the ADD button and then:

1. Provide a name for your command: this is a unique identifier for GPT.
2. Provide an instruction explaining what this command does; GPT will know when to use the command based on this instruction.
3. Define params, separated by commas - GPT will send data to your commands using these params. These params will be placed into placeholders you have defined in the cmd field. For example:

If you want instruct GPT to execute your Python script named smart_home_lights.py with an argument, such as 1 to turn the light ON, and 0 to turn it OFF, define it as follows:

• name: lights_cmd
• instruction: turn lights on/off; use 1 as 'arg' to turn ON, or 0 as 'arg' to turn OFF
• params: arg
• cmd: python /path/to/smart_home_lights.py {arg}

The setup defined above will work as follows:

When you ask GPT to turn your lights ON, GPT will locate this command and prepare the command python /path/to/smart_home_lights.py {arg} with {arg} replaced with 1. On your system, it will execute the command:

python /path/to/smart_home_lights.py 1

And that's all. GPT will take care of the rest when you ask to turn ON the lights.

You can define as many placeholders and parameters as you desire.

Here are some predefined system placeholders for use:

• {_time} - current time in H:M:S format
• {_date} - current date in Y-m-d format
• {_datetime} - current date and time in Y-m-d H:M:S format
• {_file} - path to the file from which the command is invoked
• {_home} - path to PyGPT's home/working directory

You can connect predefined placeholders with your own params.

Example:

• name: song_cmd
• instruction: store the generated song on hard disk
• params: song_text, title
• cmd: echo "{song_text}" > {_home}/{title}.txt

With the setup above, every time you ask GPT to generate a song for you and save it to the disk, it will:

1. Generate a song.
2. Locate your command.
3. Execute the command by sending the song's title and text.
4. The command will save the song text into a file named with the song's title in the PyGPT working directory.

Example tutorial command

PyGPT provides simple tutorial command to show how it work, to run it just ask GPT for execute tutorial test command and it will show you how it works:

> please execute tutorial test command

Command: Google Web Search

PyGPT lets you connect GPT to the internet and carry out web searches in real time as you make queries.

To activate this feature, turn on the Command: Google Web Search plugin found in the Plugins menu.

Web searches are automated through the Google Custom Search Engine API. To use this feature, you need an API key, which you can obtain by registering an account at:

https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview

After registering an account, create a new project and select it from the list of available projects:

https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/controlpanel/all

After selecting your project, you need to enable the Whole Internet Search option in its settings. Then, copy the following two items into PyGPT:

• Api Key
• CX ID

These data must be configured in the appropriate fields in the Plugins / Settings... menu:

Audio Output (Microsoft Azure)

PyGPT implements voice synthesis using the Microsoft Azure Text-To-Speech API. This feature requires to have an Microsoft Azure API Key. You can get API KEY for free from here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/text-to-speech

To enable voice synthesis, activate the Audio Output (Microsoft Azure) plugin in the Plugins menu or turn on the Voice option in the Audio / Voice menu (both options in the menu achieve the same outcome).

Before using speech synthesis, you must configure the audio plugin with your Azure API key and the correct Region in the settings.

This is done through the Plugins / Settings... menu by selecting the Audio (Azure) tab:

Options:

• Azure API Key azure_api_key

Here, you should enter the API key, which can be obtained by registering for free on the following website: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/text-to-speech

Autonomous Mode: AI to AI conversation

WARNING: Please use autonomous mode with caution! - this mode, when connected with other plugins, may produce unexpected results!

The plugin activates autonomous mode, where AI begins a conversation with itself. You can set this loop to run for any number of iterations. Throughout this sequence, the model will engage in self-dialogue, answering his own questions and comments, in order to find the best possible solution, subjecting previously generated steps to criticism.

This mode is similar to Auto-GPT - it can be used to create more advanced inferences and to solve problems by breaking them down into subtasks that the model will autonomously perform one after another until the goal is achieved. The plugin is capable of working in cooperation with other plugins, thus it can utilize tools such as web search, access to the file system, or image generation using DALL-E.

You can adjust the number of iterations for the self-conversation in the Plugins / Settings... menu under the following option:

• Iterations iterations

Default: 3

WARNING: Setting this option to 0 activates an infinity loop which can generate a large number of requests and cause very high token consumption, so use this option with caution!

• Auto-stop after goal is reached auto_stop

If enabled, plugin will stop after goal is reached." Default: True

• Prompt prompt

Prompt used to instruct how to handle autonomous mode. You can extend it with your own rules.

Default:

AUTONOMOUS MODE:
1. You will now enter self-dialogue mode, where you will be conversing with yourself, not with a human.
2. When you enter self-dialogue mode, remember that you are engaging in a conversation with yourself. Any user input will be considered a reply featuring your previous response.
3. The objective of this self-conversation is well-defined—focus on achieving it.
4. Your new message should be a continuation of the last response you generated, essentially replying to yourself and extending it.
5. After each response, critically evaluate its effectiveness and alignment with the goal. If necessary, refine your approach.
6. Incorporate self-critique after every response to capitalize on your strengths and address areas needing improvement.
7. To advance towards the goal, utilize all the strategic thinking and resources at your disposal.
8. Ensure that the dialogue remains coherent and logical, with each response serving as a stepping stone towards the ultimate objective.
9. Treat the entire dialogue as a monologue aimed at devising the best possible solution to the problem.
10. Conclude the self-dialogue upon realizing the goal or reaching a pivotal conclusion that meets the initial criteria.
11. You are allowed to use any commands and tools without asking for it.
12. While using commands, always use the correct syntax and never interrupt the command before generating the full instruction.
13. ALWAYS break down the main task into manageable logical subtasks, systematically addressing and analyzing each one in sequence.
14. With each subsequent response, make an effort to enhance your previous reply by enriching it with new ideas and do it automatically without asking for it.
15. Any input that begins with 'user: ' will come from me, and I will be able to provide you with ANY additional commands or goal updates in this manner. The other inputs, not prefixed with 'user: ' will represent your previous responses.
16. Start by breaking down the task into as many smaller sub-tasks as possible, then proceed to complete each one in sequence.  Next, break down each sub-task into even smaller tasks, carefully and step by step go through all of them until the required goal is fully and correctly achieved.

Tip: do not append user: prefix to your input - this prefix is appended to user input automatically behind the scenes.

• Extended Prompt extended_prompt

• Model model_query

Model used for querying Llama-index, default: gpt-3.5-turbo

• Indexes IDs idx

Indexes to use, default: base, if you want to use multiple indexes at once then separate them by comma.

Creating Your Own Plugins

You can create your own plugin for PyGPT at any time. The plugin can be written in Python and then registered with the application just before launching it. All plugins included with the app are stored in the plugin directory - you can use them as coding examples for your own plugins.

Extending PyGPT with custom plugins and LLMs wrappers:

• You can pass custom plugin instances and LLMs wrappers to the launcher.

• This is useful if you want to extend PyGPT with your own plugins and LLMs.

To register custom plugins:

• Pass a list with the plugin instances as the first argument.

To register custom LLMs wrappers:

• Pass a list with the LLMs wrappers instances as the second argument.

Example:

# my_launcher.py

from pygpt_net.app import run
from my_plugins import MyCustomPlugin, MyOtherCustomPlugin
from my_llms import MyCustomLLM

plugins = [
    MyCustomPlugin(),
    MyOtherCustomPlugin(),
]
llms = [
    MyCustomLLM(),
]

run(plugins, llms)  # <-- plugins as the first argument

Handling events

In the plugin, you can receive and modify dispatched events. To do this, create a method named handle(self, event, *args, **kwargs) and handle the received events like here:

# my_plugin.py

def handle(self, event, *args, **kwargs):
    """
    Handle dispatched events

    :param event: event object
    """
    name = event.name
    data = event.data
    ctx = event.ctx

    if name == 'input.before':
        self.some_method(data['value'])
    elif name == 'ctx.begin':
        self.some_other_method(ctx)
    else:
    	# ...

• user.name - when preparing a user's name, data['value'] (string, name of the user)

• user.send - just before the input text is sent, data['value'] (string, input text)

You can stop the propagation of a received event at any time by setting stop to True:

event.stop = True

Token usage calculation

Input tokens

The application features a token calculator. It attempts to forecast the number of tokens that a particular query will consume and displays this estimate in real time. This gives you improved control over your token usage. The app provides detailed information about the tokens used for the user's prompt, the system prompt, any additional data, and those used within the context (the memory of previous entries).

Remember that these are only approximate calculations and do not include, for example, the number of tokens consumed by some plugins. You can find the exact number of tokens used on the OpenAI website.

Total tokens

After receiving a response from the model, the application displays the actual total number of tokens used for the query.

Configuration

Settings

The following basic options can be modified directly within the application:

Config -> Settings...

• OpenAI API KEY: The personal API key you'll need to enter into the application for it to function.

• OpenAI ORGANIZATION KEY: The organization's API key, which is optional for use within the application.

• Font Size (chat window): Adjusts the font size in the chat window for better readability.

• Font Size (input): Adjusts the font size in the input window for better readability.

• Font Size (ctx list): Adjusts the font size in contexts list.

• Font Size (toolbox): Adjusts the font size in toolbox on right.

• Layout density: Adjusts layout elements density. "Apply changes" required to take effect. Default: 0.

• DPI scaling: Enable/disable DPI scaling. Restart of app required. Default: true.

• DPI factor: DPI factor. Restart of app required. Default: 1.0.

• Use theme colors in chat window: use color theme in chat window, Default: True

• Max Output Tokens: Determines the maximum number of tokens the model can generate for a single response.

• Max Total Tokens: Defines the maximum token count that the application can send to the model, including the conversation context. To prevent reaching the model capacity, this setting helps manage the size of the context included in messages.

• Context Threshold: Sets the number of tokens reserved for the model to respond to the next prompt. This helps accommodate responses without exceeding the model's limit, such as 4096 tokens.

• Limit of last contexts on list to show (0 = unlimited): Limit of last contexts on list, default: 0 (unlimited)

• Use Context: Toggles the use of conversation context (memory of previous inputs). When turned off, the context won't be saved or factored into conversation responses.

• Store History: Dictates whether the conversation history and context are saved. When turned off, history won't be written to the disk upon closing the application.

• Store Time in History: Chooses whether timestamps are added to the .txt files. These files are stored in the history directory within the user's work directory.

• Lock incompatible modes: If enabled, the app will create a new context when switched to an incompatible mode within an existing context.

• Temperature: Sets the randomness of the conversation. A lower value makes the model's responses more deterministic, while a higher value increases creativity and abstraction.

• Top-p: A parameter that influences the model's response diversity, similar to temperature. For more information, please check the OpenAI documentation.

• Frequency Penalty: Decreases the likelihood of repetition in the model's responses.

• Presence Penalty: Discourages the model from mentioning topics that have already been brought up in the conversation.

• DALL-E Image size: Generated image size (DALL-E 2 only)

• Number of notepads: Number of notepad windows (restart is required after every change)

Translations / Locale

Locale .ini files are located in the app directory:

./data/locale

This directory is automatically scanned when the application launches. To add a new translation, create and save the file with the appropriate name, for example:

locale.es.ini   

This will add Spanish as a selectable language in the application's language menu.

Overwriting CSS and locales with your own files:

You can also overwrite files in the locale and css app directories with your own files in the user directory. This allows you to overwrite language files or CSS styles in a very simple way - by just creating files in your working directory.
