Technical requirements
To fully benefit from this chapter, it is essential to have the necessary tools in place for working with Python code and the ChatGPT APIs. This chapter will provide step-by-step guidance on installing the required software and completing the necessary registrations.
You will need to have the following:
- Python 3.7 or a later version installed on your computer
- An OpenAI API key, which you can obtain by signing up for an OpenAI account
- A code editor, such as VS Code (recommended), to write and execute Python code
The code examples referenced in this chapter can be accessed on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Building-AI-Applications-with-ChatGPT-API.
In the next section, you will learn about various AI models, including GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, and develop the ability to select the most suitable model for your specific application.
