Quick Fix: Replace ChatCompletion with completions.create, update to the latest OpenAI library, use message.content instead of message['content'], and change the API key to api_key=private`’.

The Problem:

A programmer using Windows is facing an issue while working with the OpenAI API. Upon trying to migrate to a newer version of the API, they encounter compatibility issues due to the unavailability of ChatCompletion in the latest version (>= 1.0.0). The programmer cannot downgrade the API due to restrictions on their Windows operating system. They seek assistance in exploring alternative options to replace the ChatCompletion function within their codebase.

The Solutions:

Solution 1: Update to the latest API and use `OpenAI.chat.completions.create`

  1. Update to the latest OpenAI API:

    • Make sure you have the latest OpenAI API installed by upgrading via pip.
    • This can be done using the command: pip install openai --upgrade.
  2. Use OpenAI.chat.completions.create function:

    • Replace the ChatCompletion function with chat.completions.create.
    • The updated code for the chat_gpt function would look like:
from openai import OpenAI

api_key = "private"
client = OpenAI(api_key=api_key)

def chat_gpt(prompt):
    response = client.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
    )
    return response.choices[0].message.content.strip()
  • Note that message.['content'] is replaced with message.content as message object is not subscriptable error is thrown while using message.['content'].
  1. Run the code:
    • Run the updated code and you should be able to use the ChatGPT model without errors.

Solution: Pinning the older version of OpenAI library

You can pin the older version of OpenAI library (0.28) in your codebase and continue to use the `ChatCompletion` method. To do this, add the following line to your code before importing the OpenAI library:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, 'path/to/openai==0.28')

Make sure to replace `path/to/openai==0.28` with the actual path to the older version of the OpenAI library that you want to use. Once you have done this, you should be able to use `ChatCompletion` in your code as before.
