Introducing OpenAIKit
OpenAIKit is a community-maintained Swift SDK designed to ease the integration of OpenAI's capabilities into Swift-based applications. By offering a seamless way for developers to interact with the OpenAI API, OpenAIKit aims to lower the barrier for integrating powerful AI-driven features into apps without diving deep into the complexities of RESTful services.
About the Project
OpenAIKit caters to the growing demand for AI features by providing developers with a specialized toolkit tailored to Swift's idiomatic practices. This SDK not only grants access to OpenAI's functionalities but also enhances the developer experience through an intuitive API. It aspires to foster innovation by equipping the Swift community with the essential tools to effortlessly incorporate AI into their projects.
Features
OpenAIKit is packed with features that allow developers to:
- Generate and edit images using OpenAI's DALL-E 2 and soon DALL-E 3.
- Use GPT-3 and GPT-4 for text completion and generation tasks.
- Access various models and retrieve prompt embeddings.
- Stream GPT-3 and GPT-4 completion data.
- Generate chat responses using ChatGPT.
- Upload and view training files.
- Check prompt moderation statuses.
- Enjoy compatibility with Swift Concurrency, dating back to iOS 13.
Requirements & Installation
OpenAIKit requires a minimum Swift version of 5.7 and supports multiple platforms such as iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS. Fully tested and available through the Swift Package Manager (SPM), this SDK can be easily integrated into Xcode projects or directly into Swift packages.
Swift Package Manager
To add OpenAIKit to an Xcode project via SPM:
- Navigate to File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency.
- Enter the URL
https://github.com/OpenDive/OpenAIKit.git. - Select "Up to next Major" with version "2.0.1".
For Swift packages, simply include this line in the dependencies array of your Package.swift file:
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/OpenDive/OpenAIKit.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "2.0.1"))
]
Using OpenAIKit
Obtaining API Keys
