openai-server is an implementation of the OpenAI API.
Specifically, we implement /v1/engines/list and /v1/engines/{model_name}/completions endpoints.
Both endpoints are mostly feature-complete, with a few differences. The JSON response is identical; any library that works with the OpenAI API will probably work with this.
To get started, see the quickstart or the examples or the JavaScript API.

bash 002_test_completion.sh 'Hello there. My name is'Your server is now serving the OpenAI API at localhost:9000. (You can change the port via export PORT=8000)
You can grab some completions using the official openai command-line tool:
$ OPENAI_API_BASE=http://localhost:9000 openai api completions.create -e davinci -p 'Hello, world' -t 0.8 -M 16 -n 4

Hello, world. It seems like a good idea to make a living. The fact that it
===== Completion 1 =====
Hello, world. This is not the first time you're seeing the same thing at any given

Yo dawg, we implemented OpenAI API. Now, we have the ability to connect to Signal, a cryptographic data store.
We can now make this secure by using new kid on the block chain, OpenAI.
OpenAI is the new block chain protocol for the internet. This is a major milestone. As the internet becomes more open and open for everybody, it is important for us to have a robust, high-quality blockchain. It is also important that we never create an untraceable chain. The blockchain is the only way to guarantee that everyone has the same access to the network.
We are an open consortium and we believe that the blockchain is the bridge between the internet and the rest of the world. We're committed to this project. We believe that the blockchain is a bridge between the internet and

$ T=0.8 M=32 bash 002_test_completion.sh 'Hello, my name is'
Hello, my name is Plato and, like many of you, I am very happy with the pre-release.
The primary goal of the pre-release was to provideThe first argument to 002_test_completion.sh is the prompt:
bash 002_test_completion.sh 'Hello there. My name is'You can set the temperature using T=0.8 and the token count using M=32:
T=0.8 M=32 bash 002_test_completion.sh 'Hello there. My name is'To read a prompt from a file, simply pass in the filename. If the first argument is a valid filename, the file becomes the prompt:
T=0.8 M=32 bash 002_test_completion.sh README.mdIf the prompt is too long, the last 1023 - M tokens of the prompt are used. Note: This means if you request 500 tokens, it will only use 1023 minus 500 tokens from the prompt. Therefore, to let GPT see as many tokens as possible, request a small number of tokens (e.g. 16).
A complete example of how to go from zero code to a fully functional OpenAI API server:
# grab the code.
git clone https://github.com/shawwn/openai-server
cd openai-server
# install dependencies.
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
# grab all models (requires ~8GB of disk space; if low, just download 117M, which only requires 550MB)
python3 download_model.py 117M
python3 download_model.py 345M
python3 download_model.py 774M
python3 download_model.py 1558M
# then, do *one* of the following:
# ...serve one specific model:
MODELS=117M bash prod.sh
# ...or serve multiple models:
MODELS=1558M,117M bash prod.sh
# ...or serve all models you've downloaded (the default):
bash prod.shThe server listens on port 9000 by default. You can change it via PORT:
PORT=8080 bash prod.shNow that the server is running, you can start making API requests. See examples.
for 1558M, the best results seem to come from temperature=0.6 and frequency_penalty=0.9:
curl 'http://localhost:9000/v1/engines/1558M/completions?prompt=Hello,%20my%20name%20is&max_tokens=32&n=4&temperature=0.4&frequency_penalty=0.9&echo=true'But beware: you shouldn't use frequency_penalty unless your model is the largest (1558M, commonly known as "1.5B"). For some reason, frequency_penalty causes the output to be scrambled when the model is smaller than 1558M.
For production usage, consider running it via the following command:
while true; do MODELS=117M bash prod.sh ; sleep 20 ; doneThat way, if the server terminates for any reason, it will automatically restart.
For endpoint monitoring, I recommend updown.io.
