A Python library providing a minimal, low-complexity interface for building applications on top of chat LLM APIs like ChatGPT and GPT-4. It supports streaming, async, multiple concurrent sessions, tool use, and structured outputs while minimizing token usage and cost.
Use cases
- build a chatbot on top of the OpenAI API with minimal boilerplate
- run many LLM chat sessions concurrently with async
- stream GPT-4 responses into a CLI or app
- get structured JSON data out of chat models using schemas
- reduce token costs and latency when calling ChatGPT
- prototype AI assistants and agents quickly in Python
When to avoid
- you need multi-provider support beyond OpenAI models (PaLM, Claude support was planned but limited)
- you require a full agent framework with chains, memory, and tool ecosystems
- the project is in maintenance mode with infrequent updates as of mid-2024
- you need production features like rate limiting, retries, or observability built in
