### Setup
To start we'll need to install the OpenAI Python package:
```bash
pip install openai
```
Accessing the API requires an API key, which you can get by creating an account and heading [here](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys). Once we have a key we'll want to set it as an environment variable by running:
```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY="..."
```
If you'd prefer not to set an environment variable you can pass the key in directly via the `openai_api_key` named parameter when initiating the OpenAI LLM class:
```python
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
chat = ChatOpenAI(openai_api_key="...")
```
Otherwise you can initialize without any params:
```python
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
chat = ChatOpenAI()
```
### Messages
The chat model interface is based around messages rather than raw text.
The types of messages currently supported in LangChain are `AIMessage`, `HumanMessage`, `SystemMessage`, and `ChatMessage` -- `ChatMessage` takes in an arbitrary role parameter. Most of the time, you'll just be dealing with `HumanMessage`, `AIMessage`, and `SystemMessage`
### `__call__`
#### Messages in -> message out
You can get chat completions by passing one or more messages to the chat model. The response will be a message.
```python
from langchain.schema import (
AIMessage,
HumanMessage,
SystemMessage
)
chat([HumanMessage(content="Translate this sentence from English to French: I love programming.")])
```
<CodeOutputBlock lang="python">
```
AIMessage(content="J'aime programmer.", additional_kwargs={})
```
</CodeOutputBlock>
OpenAI's chat model supports multiple messages as input. See [here](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/chat/chat-vs-completions) for more information. Here is an example of sending a system and user message to the chat model:
```python
messages = [
SystemMessage(content="You are a helpful assistant that translates English to French."),
HumanMessage(content="I love programming.")
]
chat(messages)
```
<CodeOutputBlock lang="python">
```
AIMessage(content="J'aime programmer.", additional_kwargs={})
```
</CodeOutputBlock>
### `generate`
#### Batch calls, richer outputs
You can go one step further and generate completions for multiple sets of messages using `generate`. This returns an `LLMResult` with an additional `message` parameter.
```python
batch_messages = [
[
SystemMessage(content="You are a helpful assistant that translates English to French."),
HumanMessage(content="I love programming.")
],
[
SystemMessage(content="You are a helpful assistant that translates English to French."),
HumanMessage(content="I love artificial intelligence.")
],
]
result = chat.generate(batch_messages)
result
```
<CodeOutputBlock lang="python">
```
LLMResult(generations=[[ChatGeneration(text="J'aime programmer.", generation_info=None, message=AIMessage(content="J'aime programmer.", additional_kwargs={}))], [ChatGeneration(text="J'aime l'intelligence artificielle.", generation_info=None, message=AIMessage(content="J'aime l'intelligence artificielle.", additional_kwargs={}))]], llm_output={'token_usage': {'prompt_tokens': 57, 'completion_tokens': 20, 'total_tokens': 77}})
```
</CodeOutputBlock>
You can recover things like token usage from this LLMResult:
```python
result.llm_output
```
<CodeOutputBlock lang="python">
```
{'token_usage': {'prompt_tokens': 57,
'completion_tokens': 20,
'total_tokens': 77}}
```
</CodeOutputBlock>
