## What it is
A Java client library for the OpenAI API, providing POJOs, a Retrofit-based client, and a convenience service class for GPT-3, ChatGPT, and GPT-4 endpoints. The project was archived on June 6, 2024 and is no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- call the OpenAI chat completions API from Java
- generate GPT-3 completions in a JVM application
- create embeddings for text using OpenAI from Java
- transcribe audio with Whisper via the OpenAI API
- build a chatbot in Java using GPT-4
- moderate content with the OpenAI moderation endpoint

## When to choose
- you need a simple, lightweight Java wrapper for OpenAI APIs and are okay maintaining it yourself
- you want POJOs only to build your own OpenAI client
- your project already uses Retrofit and you want a familiar client style

## When to avoid
- you need ongoing updates for new OpenAI models and endpoints, since the repo is archived
- starting a new project where an actively maintained Java OpenAI SDK is available
- you need official support or bug fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: http-client, sdk, llm-inference, chatbot
- domain: large-language-models, artificial-intelligence, developer-tools, apis
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: openai, gpt-3, gpt-4, chatgpt, retrofit, archived
