A Ruby gem providing a client for the OpenAI API, supporting chat completions, the Responses API, streaming, vision, audio (Whisper), image generation (DALL-E), and Realtime WebRTC. It also works with compatible providers like Azure, Deepseek, Ollama, Groq, and Gemini.

Use cases

• call the OpenAI API from Ruby
• stream GPT chat responses in a Rails app
• generate images with DALL-E from Ruby
• transcribe audio with Whisper
• build a chatbot in Ruby
• use OpenAI-compatible endpoints like Ollama or Groq

When to choose

• you're building a Ruby or Rails app that needs OpenAI models
• you want streaming chat, tool calls, or the Responses API in Ruby
• you need a well-maintained, popular Ruby client for OpenAI-compatible APIs

When to avoid

• you're not using Ruby
• you need a provider without an OpenAI-compatible API
• you want a framework with agent orchestration rather than an API client
