Standard.AI.OpenAI

Introduction

Standard.AI.OpenAI is a Standard-Compliant .NET library built on top of OpenAI API RESTful endpoints to enable software engineers to develop AI-Powered solutions in .NET.

Standard-Compliance

This library was built according to The Standard. The library follows engineering principles, patterns and tooling as recommended by The Standard.

This library is also a community effort which involved many nights of pair-programming, test-driven development and in-depth exploration research and design discussions.

How to use this library?

In order to use this library there are prerequists that you must complete before you can write your first AI-Powered C#.NET program. These steps are as follows:

OpenAI Account

You must create an OpenAI account with the following link: Click here

Nuget Package

Install the Standard.AI.OpenAI library in your project. Use the method best suited for your development preference listed at the Nuget Link above or below.

API Keys

Once you've created an OpenAI account. Now, go ahead and generate an API key from the following link: Click here

Hello, World!

Once you've completed the aforementioned steps, let's write our very first program with Standard.AI.OpenAI as follows:

Completions

The following example demonstrate how you can write your first Completions program.

Program.cs

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Standard.AI.OpenAI.Clients.OpenAIs;
using Standard.AI.OpenAI.Models.Configurations;
using Standard.AI.OpenAI.Models.Services.Foundations.Completions;

namespace ExampleOpenAIDotNet
{
    internal class Program
    {
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            var openAIConfigurations = new OpenAIConfigurations
            {
                ApiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
                OrganizationId = "YOUR_OPTIONAL_ORG_ID_HERE"
            };

            var openAIClient = new OpenAIClient(openAIConfigurations);

            var inputCompletion = new Completion
            {
                Request = new CompletionRequest
                {
                    Prompts = new string[] { "Human: Hello!" },

                    Model = "text-davinci-003"
                }
            };

            Completion resultCompletion =
                await openAIClient.Completions.PromptCompletionAsync(
                    inputCompletion);

            Array.ForEach(
                resultCompletion.Response.Choices, 
                choice => Console.WriteLine(choice.Text));
        }
    }
}

Chat Completions

The following example demonstrate how you can write your first Chat Completions program.

Program.cs

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Standard.AI.OpenAI.Clients.OpenAIs;
using Standard.AI.OpenAI.Models.Configurations;
using Standard.AI.OpenAI.Models.Services.Foundations.ChatCompletions;

namespace ExampleOpenAIDotNet
{
    internal class Program
    {
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            var openAIConfigurations = new OpenAIConfigurations
            {
                ApiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
                OrganizationId = "YOUR_OPTIONAL_ORG_ID_HERE"
            };

            var openAIClient = new OpenAIClient(openAIConfigurations);

            var chatCompletion = new ChatCompletion
            {
                Request = new ChatCompletionRequest
                {
                    Model = "gpt-3.5-turbo",
                    Messages = new ChatCompletionMessage[]
                    {
                        new ChatCompletionMessage
                        {
                            Content = "What is c#?",
                            Role = "user",
                        }
                    },
                }
            };

            ChatCompletion resultChatCompletion =
                await openAIClient.ChatCompletions.SendChatCompletionAsync(
                    chatCompletion);

            Array.ForEach(
                resultChatCompletion.Response.Choices,
                choice => Console.WriteLine(
                    value: $"{choice.Message.Role}: {choice.Message.Content}"));
        }
    }
}

Exceptions

Standard.AI.OpenAI may throw following exceptions:

Exception Name	When it will be thrown
ChatCompletionClientValidationException	This exception is thrown when a validation error occurs while using the chat completion client. For example, if required data is missing or invalid.
ChatCompletionClientDependencyException	This exception is thrown when a dependency error occurs while using the chat completion client. For example, if a required dependency is unavailable or incompatible.
ChatCompletionClientServiceException	This exception is thrown when a service error occurs while using the chat completion client. For example, if there is a problem with the server or any other service failure.
