Use OpenAI's API for Free

This video tutorial guides viewers through the process of making free API calls to OpenAI's GPT-3.5 Turbo using a reverse proxy setup, avoiding the need for subscription fees. The host explains the pricing structure for OpenAI's services and introduces a GitHub project, named ChadGPT, that serves as a free reverse proxy specifically for the GPT-3.5 Turbo model. The tutorial covers step-by-step instructions for setting up the proxy using Docker and demonstrates how to test the setup by making API calls, ultimately offering a budget-friendly solution for developers wanting to prototype with OpenAI without upfront costs.

Its not working . print(completion.choices), it printed None. Nothing was fetched. or maybe some error. Please help

[@unclecode]

Interesting, just its almost 3 to 4 times slower, due to some network handshaking it does before sending it to server

[@bonsaiilabs]

Interesting. In my experiments, it was slow that directly hitting OpenAI API, but that's also because a proxy is sitting in between.

Hey

[@mr-strange-0w0]

Is it possible to fine tune this GPT model with this reverse api?

[@bonsaiilabs]

You won't be able to finetune since you are using OpenAI model. Hope this helps.

[@user-ze9lc9sk5i]

Is it possible to do free gpt but like python library?

[@bonsaiilabs]

Yes, at 3:57 of this video, you see the Local Endpoint and Public Endpoint, use any of these in your python code. For making REST api calls, refer to platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/making-requests. Use the Urls, from the timestamp mentioned in this comment, and any API key. This should work.

only works for US based IP, if you're not in the US, use a VPN

@@ihitasinha990 no I'm using vpc from US. The error was actually that I need to follow farmat it seems. Anyways I checked nodejs file what's really causing but I'm unable to find it.

Thanks, but even though if I use vpc (ec2) from US it's not possible.. it says you are not sending request in format. If I print whole json

Has the free class been cancelled?openai api key

[@sheepythegamer]

Pretty sure all of the fresh keys I hoarded suddenly wouldn't work when I knew they had credits

[@mohamedsameer3549]

Hi i have done the required setups and using the public endpoint, I have submitted the prompt and I am receiving response as "An error occurred. please try again. Additionally, ensure that your request complies with OpenAI's policy." is there anything I missed or should I have to change.

[@DotSlashA]

I pretty much followed you but I get this error, any help?
