Optional proxy: socks5://127.0.0.1:1080 # Set proxy server. Optional connect_timeout: 10 # Set a timeout in seconds for connect to gpt. Optional # See https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI - type: localai # LocalAI configuration url: http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions # LocalAI api server api_key: xxx # Api key. alternative to LOCALAI_API_KEY models: # Support models - name: gpt4all-j max_tokens: 4096 proxy: socks5://127.0.0.1:1080 # Set proxy server. Optional connect_timeout: 10 # Set a timeout in seconds for connect to gpt. Optional ``` > You can use `.info` to view the current configuration file path and roles file path. > You can use [Environment Variables](https://github.com/sigoden/aichat/wiki/Environment-Variables) to customize certain configuration items. ### Roles We can define a batch of roles in `roles.yaml`. > We can get the location of `roles.yaml` through the repl's `.info` command or cli's `--info` option. For example, we can define a role: ```yaml - name: shell prompt: > I want you to act as a Linux shell expert. I want you to answer only with bash code. Do not provide explanations. ``` Let ChatGPT answer questions in the role of a Linux shell expert. ``` 〉.role shell shell〉 extract encrypted zipfile app.zip to /tmp/app mkdir /tmp/app unzip -P PASSWORD app.zip -d /tmp/app ``` AIChat with roles will be a universal tool. ``` $ aichat --role shell extract encrypted zipfile app.zip to /tmp/app unzip -P password app.zip -d /tmp/app $ cat README.md | aichat --role spellcheck ``` For more details about roles, please visit [Role Guide](https://github.com/sigoden/aichat/wiki/Role-Guide). ## Chat REPL aichat has a powerful Chat REPL. The Chat REPL supports: - Emacs/Vi keybinding - Command autocompletion - Edit/paste multiline input - Undo support ### `.help` - print help message ``` 〉.help .info Print system-wide information .set Modify the configuration temporarily .model Choose a model .role Select a role .clear role Clear the currently selected role .session Start a session .clear session End current session .copy Copy the last output to the clipboard .read Read the contents of a file and submit .edit Multi-line editing (CTRL+S to finish) .help Print this help message .exit Exit the REPL Press Ctrl+C to abort readline, Ctrl+D to exit the REPL ``` ### `.info` - view current configuration information ``` 〉.info config_file /home/alice/.config/aichat/config.yaml roles_file /home/alice/.config/aichat/roles.yaml messages_file /home/alice/.config/aichat/messages.md sessions_dir /home/alice/.config/aichat/sessions model openai:gpt-3.5-turbo temperature 0.7 save true highlight true light_theme false dry_run false vi_keybindings true ``` ### `.edit` - multiline editing AIChat supports bracketed paste, so you can paste multi-lines text directly. AIChat also provides `.edit` command for multi-lines editing. ``` 〉.edit convert json below to toml { "an": [ "arbitrarily", "nested" ], "data": "structure" } ``` > Submit the multi-line text with `Ctrl+S`. ### `.set` - modify the configuration temporarily ``` 〉.set dry_run true 〉.set highlight false 〉.set save false 〉.set temperature 1.2 ``` ### `.model` - choose a model ``` > .model openai:gpt-4 > .model localai:gpt4all-j ``` > You can easily enter enter model name using autocomplete. ### `.role` - let the AI play a role Select a role: ``` 〉.role emoji name: emoji prompt: I want you to translate the sentences I write into emojis. I will write the sentence, and you will express it with emojis. I just want you to express it with emojis. I don't want you to reply with anything but emoji. When I need to tell you something in English, I will do it by wrapping it in curly brackets like {like this}. temperature: null ``` AI takes the role we specified: ``` emoji〉hello 👋 ``` Clear current selected role: ``` emoji〉.clear role 〉hello Hello there! How can I assist you today? ``` ## `.session` - context-aware conversation By default, aichat behaves in a one-off request/response manner. You should run aichat with `-s/--session` or use the `.session` command to start a session. ``` 〉.session temp）1 to 5, odd only 4089 1, 3, 5 temp）to 7 4070 1, 3, 5, 7 temp）.clear session 〉 ``` ```sh aichat --list-sessions # List sessions. aichat -s # Start REPL with a new temp session aichat -s temp # Use temp session aichat -s temp --info # Show session details aichat -r shell -s # Create a session with a role aichat -m openai:gpt-4-32k -s # Create a session with a model aichat -s sh unzip a file # Run session in command mode ``` ## License Copyright (c) 2023 aichat-developers. aichat is made available under the terms of either the MIT License or the Apache License 2.0, at your option.
