OpenAi4J is an unofficial Java library tailored to facilitate the interaction with OpenAI's GPT models, including the newest additions such as gpt4-turbo vision,assistant-v2. Originally forked from TheoKanning/openai-java, this library continues development to incorporate latest API features after the original project's maintenance was discontinued.
- Full support for all OpenAI API models including Completions, Chat, Edits, Embeddings, Audio, Files, Assistants-v2, Images, Moderations, Batch, and Fine-tuning.
- Easy-to-use client setup with Retrofit for immediate API interaction.
- Extensive examples and documentation to help you start quickly.
- Customizable setup with environment variable integration for API keys and base URLs.
- Supports synchronous and asynchronous API calls.
This library aims to provide Java developers with a robust tool to integrate OpenAI's powerful capabilities into their applications effortlessly.

}If you wish to develop your own client, simply import POJOs from the api module.
Ensure your client adopts snake case naming for compatibility with the OpenAI API.
To utilize pojos, import the api module:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.lambdua</groupId>
<artifactId>api</artifactId>
<version>0.20.7</version>
</dependency>The sample code is all in the example package, which includes most of the functional usage.
You can refer to the code in the example package. Below are some commonly used feature usage examples
gpt-vision image recognition
static void gptVision() {
OpenAiService service = new OpenAiService(Duration.ofSeconds(20));
final List<ChatMessage> messages = new ArrayList<>();
final ChatMessage systemMessage = new SystemMessage("You are a helpful assistant.");
//Here, the imageMessage is intended for image recognition
final ChatMessage imageMessage = UserMessage.buildImageMessage("What's in this image?",
"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/Gfp-wisconsin-madison-the-nature-boardwalk.jpg/2560px-Gfp-wisconsin-madison-the-nature-boardwalk.jpg");
messages.add(systemMessage);
messages.add(imageMessage);
ChatCompletionRequest chatCompletionRequest = ChatCompletionRequest.builder()
.model("gpt-4-turbo")
.messages(messages)

.maxTokens(200)
.build();
ChatCompletionChoice choice = service.createChatCompletion(chatCompletionRequest).getChoices().get(0);
System.out.println(choice.getMessage().getContent());
}Customizing OpenAiService
OpenAiService is versatile in its setup options, as demonstrated in the `example.ServiceCreateExample` within the example package.//0 Using the default configuration, read the environment variables OPENAI-API_KEY, OPENAI-API_BASE-URL as the default API_KEY and BASE-URL,
//encourage the use of environment variables to load the OpenAI API key
OpenAiService openAiService0 = new OpenAiService();
//1.Use the default base URL and configure service by default. Here, the base URL (key: OPENAI API BASE URL) will be obtained from the environment variable by default. If not, the default URL will be used“ https://api.openai.com/v 1/";
OpenAiService openAiService = new OpenAiService(API_KEY);
//2. Use custom base Url with default configuration of service
OpenAiService openAiService1 = new OpenAiService(API_KEY, BASE_URL);
//3.Custom expiration time
OpenAiService openAiService2 = new OpenAiService(API_KEY, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
//4. More flexible customization
//4.1. customize okHttpClient
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
//connection pool
.connectionPool(new ConnectionPool(Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors() * 2, 30, TimeUnit.SECONDS))
//Customized interceptors, such as retry interceptors, log interceptors, load balancing interceptors, etc
// .addInterceptor(new RetryInterceptor())
// .addInterceptor(new LogInterceptor())
// .addInterceptor(new LoadBalanceInterceptor())
// .proxy(new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress("proxyHost", 8080)))
.connectTimeout(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.writeTimeout(3, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.readTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.protocols(Arrays.asList(Protocol.HTTP_2, Protocol.HTTP_1_1))
.build();
//4.2 Customizing Retorfit Configuration
Retrofit retrofit = OpenAiService.defaultRetrofit(client, OpenAiService.defaultObjectMapper(), BASE_URL);
OpenAiApi openAiApi = retrofit.create(OpenAiApi.class);
OpenAiService openAiService3 = new OpenAiService(openAiApi);stream chat
static void streamChat() {
//api-key get from environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY
OpenAiService service = new OpenAiService(Duration.ofSeconds(30));
List<ChatMessage> messages = new ArrayList<>();
ChatMessage systemMessage = new SystemMessage("You are a cute cat and will speak as such.");
messages.add(systemMessage);
ChatCompletionRequest chatCompletionRequest = ChatCompletionRequest.builder()
.model("gpt-3.5-turbo")
.messages(messages)

.maxTokens(50)
.build();
service.streamChatCompletion(chatCompletionRequest).blockingForEach(System.out::println);
}Tools
This library supports both the outdated method of function calls and the current tool-based approach.First, we define a function object. The definition of a function object is flexible; you can use POJO to define it (
automatically serialized by JSON schema) or use methods like map and FunctionDefinition to define it. You can refer
to the code in the example package. Here, we define a weather query function object:
public class Weather {
@JsonPropertyDescription("City and state, for example: León, Guanajuato")
public String location;
@JsonPropertyDescription("The temperature unit, can be 'celsius' or 'fahrenheit'")
@JsonProperty(required = true)
public WeatherUnit unit;
}
public enum WeatherUnit {
CELSIUS, FAHRENHEIT;
}
public static class WeatherResponse {
public String location;
public WeatherUnit unit;
public int temperature;
public String description;
// constructor
}Next, we declare the function and associate it with an executor, here simulating an API response:
//First, a function to fetch the weather
public static FunctionDefinition weatherFunction() {
return FunctionDefinition.<Weather>builder()
.name("get_weather")
.description("Get the current weather in a given location")
.parametersDefinitionByClass(Weather.class)
//The executor here is a lambda expression that accepts a Weather object and returns a Weather Response object
.executor(w -> new WeatherResponse(w.location, w.unit, 25, "sunny"))
.build();
}Then, the service is used for a chatCompletion request, incorporating the tool:
static void toolChat() {
OpenAiService service = new OpenAiService(Duration.ofSeconds(30));
final ChatTool tool = new ChatTool(ToolUtil.weatherFunction());
final List<ChatMessage> messages = new ArrayList<>();
final ChatMessage systemMessage = new SystemMessage("You are a helpful assistant.");
final ChatMessage userMessage = new UserMessage("What is the weather in BeiJin?");
messages.add(systemMessage);
messages.add(userMessage);
ChatCompletionRequest chatCompletionRequest = ChatCompletionRequest.builder()
.model("gpt-3.5-turbo")
.messages(messages)
//Tools is a list; multiple tools can be included
.tools(Collections.singletonList(tool))
.toolChoice(ToolChoice.AUTO)
.n(1)
.maxTokens(100)
.build();
//Request is sent
ChatCompletionChoice choice = service.createChatCompletion(chatCompletionRequest).getChoices().get(0);
AssistantMessage toolCallMsg = choice.getMessage();
ChatToolCall toolCall = toolCallMsg.getToolCalls().get(0);
System.out.println(toolCall.getFunction());
messages.add(toolCallMsg);
messages.add(new ToolMessage("the weather is fine today.", toolCall.getId()));
//submit tool call
ChatCompletionRequest toolCallRequest = ChatCompletionRequest.builder()
.model("gpt-3.5-turbo")
.messages(messages)
.n(1)
.maxTokens(100)
.build();
ChatCompletionChoice toolCallChoice = service.createChatCompletion(toolCallRequest).getChoices().get(0);
System.out.println(toolCallChoice.getMessage().getContent());
}stream chat with tool call (support Concurrent tool call)
void streamChatMultipleToolCalls() {
final List<FunctionDefinition> functions = Arrays.asList(
//1. weather query
FunctionDefinition.<ToolUtil.Weather>builder()
.name("get_weather")

}Assistant Stream Manager
By using the AssistantEventHandler class and the AssistantStreamManager class, it is easier to manage the streaming
calls of Assistant AssistantEventHandler contains all Assistant stream event callback hooks, and you can implement
different events as needed:
/**
* You can implement various event callbacks for Assistant Event Handlers according to your own needs, making it convenient for you to handle various events related to Assistant
*/
private static class LogHandler implements AssistantEventHandler {
@Override
public void onEvent(AssistantSSE sse) {
//every event will call this method
}
@Override
public void onRunCreated(Run run) {
System.out.println("start run: " + run.getId());
}
@Override
public void onEnd() {
System.out.println("stream end");
}
@Override
public void onMessageDelta(MessageDelta messageDelta) {
System.out.println(messageDelta.getDelta().getContent().get(0).getText());
}
@Override
public void onMessageCompleted(Message message) {
System.out.println("message completed");
}
@Override
public void onMessageInComplete(Message message) {
System.out.println("message in complete");
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable error) {
System.out.println("error:" + error.getMessage());
}
}AssistantStreamManager arranges and manages various events in the stream, supporting synchronous/asynchronous
retrieval of content from the stream,
which can be obtained through the manager. Below is a usage example, for more examples, please refer
to AssistantStreamManagerTest.java.
static void streamTest() {
OpenAiService service = new OpenAiService();
//1. create assistant
AssistantRequest assistantRequest = AssistantRequest.builder()
.model("gpt-3.5-turbo").name("weather assistant")
.instructions("You are a weather assistant responsible for calling the weather API to return weather information based on the location entered by the user")
.tools(Collections.singletonList(new FunctionTool(ToolUtil.weatherFunction())))
.temperature(0D)
.build();
Assistant assistant = service.createAssistant(assistantRequest);
String assistantId = assistant.getId();
System.out.println("assistantId:" + assistantId);
ThreadRequest threadRequest = ThreadRequest.builder()
.build();
Thread thread = service.createThread(threadRequest);
String threadId = thread.getId();
System.out.println("threadId:" + threadId);
MessageRequest messageRequest = MessageRequest.builder()
.content("What can you help me with?")
.build();
service.createMessage(threadId, messageRequest);
RunCreateRequest runCreateRequest = RunCreateRequest.builder()
.assistantId(assistantId)
.toolChoice(ToolChoice.AUTO)
.build();
//blocking
// AssistantStreamManager blockedManagere = AssistantStreamManager.syncStart(service.createRunStream(threadId, runCreateRequest), new LogHandler());
//async
AssistantStreamManager streamManager = AssistantStreamManager.start(service.createRunStream(threadId, runCreateRequest), new LogHandler());
//Other operations can be performed here...
boolean completed = streamManager.isCompleted();
// you can shut down the streamManager if you want to stop the stream
streamManager.shutDown();
//waiting for completion
streamManager.waitForCompletion();
// all of flowable events
List<AssistantSSE> eventMsgsHolder = streamManager.getEventMsgsHolder();
Optional<Run> currentRun = streamManager.getCurrentRun();
// get the accumulated message
streamManager.getAccumulatedMsg().ifPresent(msg -> {
System.out.println("accumulatedMsg:" + msg);
});
service.deleteAssistant(assistantId);
service.deleteThread(threadId);
}Is it possible to customize the OpenAI URL or use a proxy URL?
Yes, you can specify a URL when constructing OpenAiService, which will serve as the base URL.But we recommend using the environment variable OPENAI_API_BASE_URL and OPENAI_API_KEY to load the OpenAI API key.
Why am I experiencing connection timeouts?
Ensure your network is stable and your OpenAI server is accessible. If you face network instability, consider increasing the timeout duration.
