• OpenAI-based Development: tutorial and best practices for OpenAI's Embedding, GPT-3.5, GPT-4, as well as practical development such as Function Calling and ChatGPT Plugin.

• GenAI Application Development with LangChain: Hands-on examples and tutorials using LangChain to develop GenAI applications, demonstrating the practical application of large language models(AutoGPT, RAG-chatbot, Machine Translation)

Getting Started

You can start by cloning this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/DjangoPeng/openai-quickstart.git

Then navigate to the directory and follow the individual module instructions to get started.

Setting Up the Development Environment

• Python v3.10+
• Python Environment Management: Miniconda
• Interactive Python Development Environment: Jupyter Lab
• Framework for Large Model Applications: LangChain
• OpenAI Python SDK

Configuring Jupyter Lab for Background Startup

After installing the development environment as mentioned above, it's recommended to start Jupyter Lab as a background service. Here's how to configure it (using the root user as an example):

# Generate a Jupyter Lab configuration file
$ jupyter lab --generate-config
Writing default config to: /root/.jupyter/jupyter_lab_config.py

Open the configuration file and make the following changes:

# Allowing Jupyter Lab to start as a non-root user (no need to modify if starting as root)
c.ServerApp.allow_root = True
c.ServerApp.ip = '*'

Use nohup to start Jupyter Lab in the background:

$ nohup jupyter lab --port=8000 --NotebookApp.token='replace_with_your_password' --notebook-dir=./ &

Jupyter Lab's output log will be saved in the nohup.out file (which is already filtered in the .gitignore file).
