# ChatGPT Clone #

## Wrap all conversational AIs under one roof. ##
- Assistant AIs are the future and OpenAI revolutionized this movement with ChatGPT. While numerous methods exist to integrate these AIs, this app commemorates the original styling of ChatGPT, with the ability to integrate any current/future AI models through user-provided API keys, while improving upon original client features, such as conversation search and prompt templates. This project was built with the anticipation of the official ChatGPT API from OpenAI, and now uses it along with the free access method. Through this clone, you can avoid subscription-based models in favor of free or pay-per-call APIs. I will deploy a demo of this app, but feel free to clone or fork to create your own custom wrapper. Currently dockerized.

While numerous methods exist to integrate these AIs, this app commemorates the original styling of ChatGPT, with the ability to integrate any current/future AI models, while improving upon original client features, such as conversation search and prompt templates (currently WIP). This project was started early in Feb '23, anticipating the release of the official ChatGPT API from OpenAI, and now uses it along with access to the free version. Through this clone, you can avoid subscription-based models (ChatGPT Plus) in favor of free or pay-per-call APIs. I will soon deploy a demo of this app. Feel free to contribute, clone, or fork. Currently dockerized.
## Updates
2023-03-06
-Due to more interest in this repo, I've dockerized the app as of this update for quick setup! See setup instructions below. I realize this still takes some time with installing docker dependencies, so it's on the roadmap to have a deployed demo. Besides this, I've made major improvements for a lot of the existing features across the board, mainly UI/UX.

+## Caveats
+### Regarding `ChatGPTClient`
+From @waylaidwanderer's use of the official API: Since `gpt-3.5-turbo` is ChatGPT's underlying model, I had to do my best to replicate the way the official ChatGPT website uses it.
+This means my implementation or the underlying model may not behave exactly the same in some ways:
+- Conversations are not tied to any user IDs, so if that's important to you, you should implement your own user ID system.
+- ChatGPT's model parameters (temperature, frequency penalty, etc.) are unknown, so I set some defaults that I thought would be reasonable.
+- Conversations are limited to roughly the last 3000 tokens, so earlier messages may be forgotten during longer conversations.
+ - This works in a similar way to ChatGPT, except I'm pretty sure they have some additional way of retrieving context from earlier messages when needed (which can probably be achieved with embeddings, but I consider that out-of-scope for now).
