“Exploring the First-Order Principles of Brain Structure for Optimizing AI Assistants”

In a recent tutorial with Neurons Lab, the OpenAI API’s capabilities were showcased with Python coding examples. The tutorial demonstrated how AI assistants can generate Python code and perform complex tasks like searching for football game results and saving them as a CSV file.

The API uses a model named ‘gpt-3.5-turbo’ for these tasks, although users can switch to other models such as ‘gpt-4’ or ‘gpt-4-32k’ as needed. When setting the API, users can also adjust the parameters ‘max_tokens’ and ‘temperature’ to control the length and randomness of the AI’s output.

Here’s a quick look at how you can use the OpenAI API to create an AI assistant with Python:

import openai

openai.api_key = 'your-api-key-here'

response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
  model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
  messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Who won the world series in 2020?"},
    ],
)
print(response['choices'][0]['message']['content'])

In the example above, the program starts by importing the OpenAI library and setting the API key. Then it creates a conversation with the AI model where the system sets the role of the AI as a ‘helpful assistant’, and the user asks a question. The AI’s response is then printed out.

Throughout the tutorial, the participants utilized the OpenAI API to create a range of AI agents. Each agent was designed to handle a specific task, such as searching for data on the internet, generating a CSV file, or calculating values. The agents were all built around the ‘gpt-3.5-turbo’ model but adjusted their parameters to suit their individual tasks.

The tutorial concluded with a discussion on how AI can be used to automate cognitive tasks. By using AI agents with the OpenAI API, users can automate tasks like searching for data, writing code, and even reasoning. The tutorial demonstrated that with the right structure and parameters, AI can be an invaluable tool for automating complex tasks.
