ChatGPT and Whisper API Integration: Your Complete Guide

Welcome to the Era of ChatGPT and Whisper API

Drumroll please... As of March 1, 2023, OpenAI has released the much-anticipated ChatGPT and Whisper API endpoints! If you missed the initial announcement, you can catch up on all the exciting details on OpenAI's official blog. These models leverage cutting-edge technology to redefine how developers interact with AI tools.

Understanding ChatGPT and Whisper

If you’re not familiar with these two models, let’s break it down:

ChatGPT: A sophisticated language model adept at generating human-like text in conversational formats. It's a variant of the GPT-3 model tailored for user-friendly interactions.
Whisper: A versatile speech recognition model that excels in various linguistic tasks. This includes multilingual recognition and language identification, making it a robust tool for developers.

The Impact on Developers

So, how does this release benefit developers? With the launch of these APIs, we can seamlessly integrate advanced AI functionalities into our projects. Here's what to expect:

Enhanced ChatGPT Capabilities: Utilizing the gpt-3.5-turbo models allows developers to implement chat completion without tedious workarounds, providing a smoother user experience.
Efficient Use of Whisper: Developers can now use Whisper without the overhead of managing infrastructure or scaling operations. The OpenAI endpoint allows immediate project progression.

Implementation Guide for ChatGPT

Are you ready to dive into the integration process? Let’s explore how to implement the ChatGPT/Chat completion endpoint:

The preferred model is gpt-3.5-turbo due to its cost-effectiveness and superior performance.
Unlike the traditional GPT-3 model, you will be sending a series of messages in an array format rather than a single prompt.

For instance, in Python utilizing the OpenAI library, your implementation will look somewhat like this:


messages = [
    {'role': 'user', 'content': 'Hello, how can I improve my coding skills?'},
    {'role': 'assistant', 'content': 'Here are some strategies to enhance your skills...'}
]

Transforming Your GPT-3 Completion to GPT-3.5 Chat Completion

Transitioning from GPT-3 to GPT-3.5 is straightforward:


# Previously:
response = openai.Completion.create(
    model="gpt-3", prompt="Create a list of hashtags...")

# Now:
response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=messages)

Integrating Whisper API

Now, let's pivot to implementing the Whisper endpoint. Follow these steps:

Change the endpoint to https://api.openai.com/v1/audio/transcriptions.
Add an Authorization header containing your Bearer token obtained from the OpenAI dashboard.

With these modifications, you’ll be set to utilize the Whisper endpoint for audio file transcriptions!
