What Hacker News says

Support for the ChatGPT endpoint now added to lambdaprompt[1]! (solves a similar problem as langchain, with almost no boilerplate!) Props to openai for making such a usable endpoint, was very easy to wrap. Example code using the new function and endpoint: import lambdaprompt as lp convo = lp.AsyncGPT3Chat([{'system': 'You are a {{ type_of_bot }}'}]) await convo("What should we get for lunch?", type_of_bot="pirate") > As a pirate, I would suggest we have some hearty seafood such as fish and chips or a seafood platter. We could also have some rum to wash it down! Arrr! (In order to use lambdaprompt, just `pip install lambdaprompt` and export OPENAI_API_KEY=...) [1] https://github.com/approximatelabs/lambdaprompt
