# OpenAI
This page covers how to use the OpenAI ecosystem within LangChain.
It is broken into two parts: installation and setup, and then references to specific OpenAI wrappers.
## Installation and Setup
- Install the Python SDK with `pip install openai`
- Get an OpenAI api key and set it as an environment variable (`OPENAI_API_KEY`)
- If you want to use OpenAI's tokenizer (only available for Python 3.9+), install it with `pip install tiktoken`
## Wrappers
### LLM
There exists an OpenAI LLM wrapper, which you can access with
```python
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
```
If you are using a model hosted on Azure, you should use different wrapper for that:
```python
from langchain.llms import AzureOpenAI
```
For a more detailed walkthrough of the Azure wrapper, see [this notebook](../modules/models/llms/integrations/azure_openai_example.ipynb)
### Embeddings
There exists an OpenAI Embeddings wrapper, which you can access with
```python
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
```
For a more detailed walkthrough of this, see [this notebook](../modules/models/text_embedding/examples/openai.ipynb)
### Tokenizer
There are several places you can use the `tiktoken` tokenizer. By default, it is used to count tokens
for OpenAI LLMs.
You can also use it to count tokens when splitting documents with
```python
from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter
CharacterTextSplitter.from_tiktoken_encoder(...)
```
For a more detailed walkthrough of this, see [this notebook](../modules/indexes/text_splitters/examples/tiktoken.ipynb)
### Moderation
You can also access the OpenAI content moderation endpoint with
```python
from langchain.chains import OpenAIModerationChain
```
For a more detailed walkthrough of this, see [this notebook](../modules/chains/examples/moderation.ipynb)
