Technical requirements

For this chapter, the following will be necessary:

  • Programming knowledge: Familiarity with Python programming is a must since the open source models, OpenAI’s API, and LangChain are all illustrated using Python code.
  • Access to OpenAI’s API: An API key from OpenAI will be required to explore closed source models. This can be obtained by creating an account with OpenAI and agreeing to their terms of service.
  • Open source models: Access to the specific open source models mentioned in this chapter will be necessary. These can be accessed and downloaded from their respective repositories or via package managers such as pip or conda.
