An unofficial Go client library for the OpenAI API covering chat completions, the Responses API, embeddings, image generation, audio transcription (Whisper), moderation, files, fine-tuning, and more. It provides typed request/response structs, streaming support, and multi-turn conversation helpers for Go applications.

Use cases

• call the OpenAI API from Go
• build a chatbot in Golang
• stream GPT responses in a Go server
• transcribe audio with Whisper from Go
• generate images with DALL-E in Go
• get embeddings for semantic search in Go
• fine-tune OpenAI models via Go

When to choose

• you write Go and need typed, idiomatic access to OpenAI endpoints
• you need streaming, tool-calling, or multi-turn conversation support
• you want a mature community client with broad API surface coverage

When to avoid

• you use another language like Python or TypeScript with official SDKs
• you need a provider-agnostic abstraction across multiple LLM vendors
• you require official support guarantees from OpenAI
