# OpenPipe

> Turn expensive prompts into cheap fine-tuned models

OpenPipe is an open-source platform for fine-tuning and hosting models to create smaller, cheaper alternatives that match specific needs. It supports easy integration with OpenAI's SDK for Python and TypeScript.

## **Note:** we’ve temporarily stopped development on the open-source version of OpenPipe to integrate some proprietary third-party code. We hope to make the non-proprietary parts of the repository open again under an open core model once we have the bandwidth to do so!

## Features

- Easy integration with OpenAI's SDK in both Python and TypeScript.
  - [Python SDK](https://pypi.org/project/openpipe/)
  - [TypeScript SDK](https://www.npmjs.com/package/openpipe)
- OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint.
- Fine-tune GPT 3.5, Mistral, and Llama 2 models. Host on-platform or download the weights.
  - Model output is OpenAI-compatible.
  - Switching from GPT 4 to a fine-tuned Mistral model only requires changing the model name.
- Query logs using powerful built-in filters.
- Import datasets in OpenAI-compatible JSONL files.
- Prune large chunks of duplicate text like system prompts.
- Compare output accuracy against base models like gpt-3.5-turbo.

## Running Locally

1. Install [Postgresql](https://www.postgresql.org/download/).
2. Install [NodeJS 20](https://nodejs.org/en/download/current) (earlier versions will very likely work but aren't tested).
3. Install `pnpm`: `npm i -g pnpm`
4. Clone this repository: `git clone https://github.com/openpipe/openpipe`
5. Install the dependencies: `cd openpipe && pnpm install`
6. Create a `.env` file (`cd app && cp .env.example .env`) and enter your `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
7. If you just installed postgres and wish to use the default `DATABASE_URL` run the following commands:

```sh
psql postgres
CREATE ROLE postgres WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'postgres';
ALTER ROLE postgres SUPERUSER;
```

8. Update `DATABASE_URL` if necessary to point to your Postgres instance an
