About GPT-Code UI

GPT-Code UI is an open-source implementation of OpenAI's ChatGPT Code interpreter, enabling users to interact with language models to generate and execute Python code. It features file upload/download, context-aware conversations, and model switching between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. The tool runs locally, executing code in a Python kernel (optionally sandboxed with Docker). Installation is via pip, and it requires an OpenAI API key. Key features include a chat interface that can refer to previous messages, generate and run code, and handle file-based data analysis tasks.

Key Features

File upload and download support
Context-aware conversation (references previous messages)
Generates Python code from natural language prompts
Executes code in a Python kernel (optional Docker sandbox)
Model switching between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4
Installable via pip (pip install gpt-code-ui)

FAQ

How do I install GPT-Code UI?
Run `pip install gpt-code-ui` and then execute `gptcode` in your terminal. Optionally, install recommended dependencies like numpy, pandas, and matplotlib.
How do I set my OpenAI API key?
Place a `.env` file in your working directory with the variable `OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key`. You can also set other environment variables like `OPENAI_BASE_URL` for custom endpoints.
Can I switch between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4?
Yes, the UI provides a model switching feature to choose between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 (or other models supported by your API key).
