Universal.OpenAI.Client
Breaking Changes
- Message types are now more specific:
SystemMessage,UserMessage,AssistantMessage,ToolMessage,FunctionMessage(deprecated), andUnknownMessage. - The
Modelsclass now includesGpt4,Gpt4Turbo, and potentially other new models. ResponseFormatcan now be set toJsonObjector a custom schema usingFromJsonSchema.- Tool usage has been introduced, replacing the older function calling mechanism.
- The
Contentproperty of messages can now be either a string orIEnumerable<ContentBlock>. - Embeddings, image generation have been marked as obsoleted. They will be refactored at a later point.
- Text completion support has been removed.
Usage
Chat Completion
using Universal.OpenAI.Client;
using Universal.OpenAI.Client.Chat;
using (OpenAIClient openAIClient = new OpenAIClient(ApiKey))
{
ChatCompletion response = await openAIClient.CreateChatCompletionAsync(new CreateChatCompletionRequest()
{
Model = Models.Gpt4,
Messages = new Message[]
{
new SystemMessage("You are a chatbot for a company named Red Marble AI. Be as helpful as you can without being too terse or verbose.")
}
});
foreach (var choice in response.Choices)
{
Console.WriteLine(choice.Message.Content);
}
}
JSON Output Enforcement
You can enforce JSON output from the model:
ChatCompletion response = await openAIClient.CreateChatCompletionAsync(new CreateChatCompletionRequest()
{
Model = Models.Gpt4Turbo,
Messages = [
new SystemMessage("Your system message here"),
new UserMessage("Your user message here")
],
ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.JsonObject
});
Structured JSON Output
You can specify a schema for structured JSON output:
ChatCompletion response = await openAIClient.CreateChatCompletionAsync(new CreateChatCompletionRequest()
{
Model = "gpt-4o-2024-08-06",
Messages = [
new UserMessage("Your message here")
],
ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.FromJsonSchema("schema_name", new JsonSchema()
{
Type = "object",
Properties = new Dictionary<string, JsonSchema>()
{
["propertyName"] = new JsonSchema()
{
Type = "boolean",
Description = "Property description"
}
},
AdditionalProperties = false,
Required = ["propertyName"]
})
});
Using Tools
You can use tools (like functions) in your chat completions:
ChatCompletion firstTurn = await openAIClient.CreateChatCompletionAsync(new CreateChatCompletionRequest()
{
Model = "gpt-4o-2024-08-06",
Messages = [
new SystemMessage("System message"),
new UserMessage("User message")
],
Tools = [
new Tool() {
Type = ToolTypes.Function,
Function = new Function()
{
Name = "function_name",
Description = "Function description",
Parameters = new JsonSchema
{
// Define your function parameters here
}
}
}
]
});
// Process the tool call and get the tool response
ChatCompletion secondTurn = await openAIClient.CreateChatCompletionAsync(new CreateChatCompletionRequest()
{
Model = "gpt-4o-2024-08-06",
Messages = [
// Previous messages
new ToolMessage(toolResponse, toolCallId)
]
});
