OpenAI

To get your OpenAI API key, you need to:

• Go to https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys
• Create an account or log in with your existing one
• Add a payment method to your account
• Go to https://platform.openai.com/api-keys to get a key.
• You will need to set the following environment variable to your key, or you can set it to user_provided for users to provide their own.

OPENAI_API_KEY=user_provided

• You can determine which models you would like to have available with OPENAI_MODELS
  • When OPENAI_API_KEY is set to user_provided → only the models put in this list will be available
    • ⚠️New models won't automatically show up; you'll need to add them to this list first
  • When OPENAI_API_KEY is set to the actual API key value → as long as OPENAI_MODELS is left commented-out, it will do an API call to find out what models are available, which should include any new ones

OPENAI_MODELS=gpt-3.5-turbo-0125,gpt-3.5-turbo-0301,gpt-3.5-turbo,gpt-4,gpt-4-0613,gpt-4-vision-preview,gpt-3.5-turbo-0613,gpt-3.5-turbo-16k-0613,gpt-4-0125-preview,gpt-4-turbo-preview,gpt-4-1106-preview,gpt-3.5-turbo-1106,gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct,gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct-0914,gpt-3.5-turbo-16k

Notes:

• Selecting a vision model for messages with attachments is not necessary as it will be switched behind the scenes for you. If you didn't outright select a vision model, it will only be used for the vision request and you should still see the non-vision model you had selected after the request is successful
• OpenAI Vision models allow for messages without attachments
• OpenAI endpoint supports all Shared Endpoint Settings via the librechat.yaml configuration file, including streamRate, titleModel, titleMethod, titlePrompt, titlePromptTemplate, and titleEndpoint
