Installing an environment has become complex with the rapid evolution of AI and cross-platform dependency conflicts, as we saw in Chapter 2, RAG Embedding Vector Stores with Deep Lake and OpenAI, in the Setting up the environment section. We will thus freeze the package versions when possible.

drive.mount('/content/drive')
f = open("drive/MyDrive/files/api_key.txt", "r")
API_KEY=f.readline()
f.close()

We then install openai and set the...
