The libraries from this environment are used by PySide6 - one of the base packages used by PyGPT.
The absence of the installed libraries may cause display errors or completely prevent the application from running.
It may also be necessary to add the path C:\path\to\venv\Lib\python3.x\site-packages\PySide6 to the PATH variable.
WebEngine/Chromium renderer and OpenGL problems
If you have a problems with WebEngine / Chromium renderer you can force the legacy mode by launching the app with command line arguments:
python3 run.py --legacy=1
and to force disable OpenGL hardware acceleration:
python3 run.py --disable-gpu=1
You can also manualy enable legacy mode by editing config file - open the %WORKDIR%/config.json config file in editor and set the following options:
"render.engine": "legacy",
"render.open_gl": false,
For operation, an internet connection is needed (for API connectivity), a registered OpenAI account, and an active API key that must be input into the program.
Tip: Go to Debugging and Logging section for instructions on how to log and diagnose issues in a more detailed manner.
Tip: The API key is required to work with the OpenAI API. If you wish to use custom API endpoints or local API that do not require API keys, simply enter anything into the API key field to avoid a prompt about the API key being empty.
During the initial launch, you must configure your API key within the application.
To do so, navigate to the menu:
Config -> Settings...
and then paste the API key into the OpenAI API KEY field.
The API key can be obtained by registering on the OpenAI website:
Your API keys will be available here:
https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys
Note: The ability to use models within the application depends on the API user's access to a given model!
+ inline Vision and Image generation
This mode in PyGPT mirrors ChatGPT, allowing you to chat with models such as GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo and GPT-3.5. It's easy to switch models whenever you want. It works by using the ChatCompletion API.
The main part of the interface is a chat window where conversations appear. Right below that is where you type your messages. On the right side of the screen, there's a section to set up or change your system prompts. You can also save these setups as presets to quickly switch between different models or tasks.
Above where you type your messages, the interface shows you the number of tokens your message will use up as you type it – this helps to keep track of usage. There's also a feature to upload files in this area. Go to the Files tab to manage your uploads or add attachments to send to the OpenAI API (but this makes effect only in Assisant and Vision modes).
Vision: If you want to send photos or image from camera to analysis you must enable plugin GPT-4 Vision Inline in the Plugins menu. Plugin allows you to send photos or image from camera to analysis in any Chat mode:
With this plugin, you can capture an image with your camera or attach an image and send it for analysis to discuss the photograph:
Image generation: If you want to generate images (using DALL-E) directly in chat you must enable plugin DALL-E 3 Inline in the Plugins menu. Plugin allows you to generate images in Chat mode:
This mode provides in-depth access to a broader range of capabilities offered by Large Language Models (LLMs). While it maintains a chat-like interface for user interaction, it introduces additional settings and functional richness beyond typical chat exchanges. Users can leverage this mode to prompt models for complex text completions, role-play dialogues between different characters, perform text analysis, and execute a variety of other sophisticated tasks. It supports any model provided by the OpenAI API as well as other models through Langchain.
Similar to chat mode, on the right-hand side of the interface, there are convenient presets. These allow you to fine-tune instructions and swiftly transition between varied configurations and pre-made prompt templates.
Additionally, this mode offers options for labeling the AI and the user, making it possible to simulate dialogues between specific characters - for example, you could create a conversation between Batman and the Joker, as predefined in the prompt. This feature presents a range of creative possibilities for setting up different conversational scenarios in an engaging and exploratory manner.
From version 2.0.107 the davinci models are deprecated and has been replaced with gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct model in Completion mode.
This mode uses the new OpenAI's Assistants API.
This mode expands on the basic chat functionality by including additional external tools like a Code Interpreter for executing code, Retrieval Files for accessing files, and custom Functions for enhanced interaction and integration with other APIs or services. In this mode, you can easily upload and download files. PyGPT streamlines file management, enabling you to quickly upload documents and manage files created by the model.
Setting up new assistants is simple - a single click is all it takes, and they instantly sync with the OpenAI API. Importing assistants you've previously created with OpenAI into PyGPT is also a seamless process.
In Assistant mode you are allowed to storage your files (per Assistant) and manage them easily from app:
Please note that token usage calculation is unavailable in this mode. Nonetheless, file (attachment)
uploads are supported. Simply navigate to the Files tab to effortlessly manage files and attachments which
can be sent to the OpenAI API.
Assistant mode supports the use of external vector databases offered by the OpenAI API. This feature allows you to store your files in a database and then search them using the Assistant's API. Each assistant can be linked to one vector database—if a database is linked, all files uploaded in this mode will be stored in the linked vector database. If an assistant does not have a linked vector database, a temporary database is automatically created during the file upload, which is accessible only in the current thread. Files from temporary databases are automatically deleted after 7 days.
To enable the use of vector stores, enable the Chat with files checkbox in the Assistant settings. This enables the File search tool in Assistants API.
To manage external vector databases, click the DB icon next to the vector database selection list in the Assistant creation and editing window. In this management window, you can create a new database, edit an existing one, or import a list of all existing databases from the OpenAI server:
You can define, using Expire days, how long files should be automatically kept in the database before deletion (as storing files on OpenAI incurs costs). If the value is set to 0, files will not be automatically deleted.
The vector database in use will be displayed in the list of uploaded files, on the field to the right—if a file is stored in a database, the name of the database will be displayed there; if not, information will be shown indicating that the file is only accessible within the thread:
INFO: From version 2.2.6 (2024-04-30) Vision is available directly in Chat mode, without any plugins - if the model supports Vision (currently: gpt-4-turbo and gpt-4-turbo-2024-04-09).
This mode enables image analysis using the GPT-4 Vision model. Functioning much like the chat mode,
it also allows you to upload images or provide URLs to images. The vision feature can analyze both local
images and those found online.
Vision is integrated into any chat mode via plugin GPT-4 Vision (inline). Just enable the plugin and use Vision in standard modes.
Vision mode also includes real-time video capture from camera. To enable capture check the option Camera on the right-bottom corner. It will enable real-time capturing from your camera. To capture image from camera and append it to chat just click on video at left side. You can also enable Auto capture - image will be captured and appended to chat message every time you send message.
1) Video camera real-time image capture
2) you can also provide an image URL
3) or you can just upload your local images or use the inline Vision in the standard chat mode:
Tip: When using Vision (inline) by utilizing a plugin in standard mode, such as Chat (not Vision mode), the + Vision special checkbox will appear at the bottom of the Chat window. It will be automatically enabled any time you provide content for analysis (like an uploaded photo). When the checkbox is enabled, the vision model is used. If you wish to exit the vision model after image analysis, simply uncheck the checkbox. It will activate again automatically when the next image content for analysis is provided.
This mode enables you to work with models that are supported by Langchain. The Langchain support is integrated
into the application, allowing you to interact with any LLM by simply supplying a configuration
file for the specific model. You can add as many models as you like; just list them in the configuration
file named models.json.
Available LLMs providers supported by PyGPT:
- OpenAI
- Azure OpenAI
- HuggingFace
- Anthropic
- Llama 2
- Ollama
You have the ability to add custom model wrappers for models that are not available by default in PyGPT.
To integrate a new model, you can create your own wrapper and register it with the application.
Detailed instructions for this process are provided in the section titled Managing models / Adding models via Langchain.
This mode enables chat interaction with your documents and entire context history through conversation.
It seamlessly incorporates Llama-index into the chat interface, allowing for immediate querying of your indexed documents.
Querying single files
You can also query individual files "on the fly" using the query_file command from the Files I/O plugin. This allows you to query any file by simply asking a question about that file. A temporary index will be created in memory for the file being queried, and an answer will be returned from it. From version 2.1.9 similar command is available for querying web and external content: Directly query web content with Llama-index.
For example:
If you have a file: data/my_cars.txt with content My car is red.
You can ask for: Query the file my_cars.txt about what color my car is.
And you will receive the response: Red.
Note: this command indexes the file only for the current query and does not persist it in the database. To store queried files also in the standard index you must enable the option "Auto-index readed files" in plugin settings. Remember to enable "Execute commands" checkbox to allow usage of query commands.
Using Chat with files mode
In this mode, you are querying the whole index, stored in a vector store database. To start, you need to index (embed) the files you want to use as additional context. Embedding transforms your text data into vectors. If you're unfamiliar with embeddings and how they work, check out this article:
https://stackoverflow.blog/2023/11/09/an-intuitive-introduction-to-text-embeddings/
For a visualization from OpenAI's page, see this picture:
Source: https://cdn.openai.com/new-and-improved-embedding-model/draft-20221214a/vectors-3.svg
To index your files, simply copy or upload them into the data directory and initiate indexing (embedding) by clicking the Index all button, or right-click on a file and select Index.... Additionally, you have the option to utilize data from indexed files in any Chat mode by activating the Chat with files (Llama-index, inline) plugin.
After the file(s) are indexed (embedded in vector store), you can use context from them in chat mode:
Built-in file loaders:
Files:
Web/external content:
You can configure data loaders in Settings / Llama-index / Data Loaders by providing list of keyword arguments for specified loaders.
You can also develop and provide your own custom loader and register it within the application.
Llama-index is also integrated with context database - you can use data from database (your context history) as additional context in discussion.
Options for indexing existing context history or enabling real-time indexing new ones (from database) are available in Settings / Llama-index section.
WARNING: remember that when indexing content, API calls to the embedding model are used. Each indexing consumes additional tokens. Always control the number of tokens used on the OpenAI page.
Tip: when using Chat with files you are using additional context from db data and files indexed from data directory, not the files sending via Attachments tab.
Attachments tab in Chat with files mode can be used to provide images to Vision (inline) plugin only.
Token limit: When you use Chat with files in non-query mode, Llama-index adds extra context to the system prompt. If you use a plugins (which also adds more instructions to system prompt), you might go over the maximum number of tokens allowed. If you get a warning that says you've used too many tokens, turn off plugins you're not using or turn off the "Execute commands" option to reduce the number of tokens used by the system prompt.
Available vector stores (provided by Llama-index):
- ChromaVectorStore
- ElasticsearchStore
- PinecodeVectorStore
- RedisVectorStore
- SimpleVectorStore
You can configure selected vector store by providing config options like api_key, etc. in Settings -> Llama-index window.
Arguments provided here (on list: Vector Store (**kwargs) in Advanced settings will be passed to selected vector store provider.
You can check keyword arguments needed by selected provider on Llama-index API reference page:
https://docs.llamaindex.ai/en/stable/api_reference/storage/vector_store.html
Which keyword arguments are passed to providers?
For ChromaVectorStore and SimpleVectorStore all arguments are set by PyGPT and passed internally (you do not need to configure anything).
For other providers you can provide these arguments:
ElasticsearchStore
Keyword arguments for ElasticsearchStore(**kwargs):
index_name (default: current index ID, already set, not required)PinecodeVectorStore
Keyword arguments for Pinecone(**kwargs):
api_keyRedisVectorStore
Keyword arguments for RedisVectorStore(**kwargs):
index_name (default: current index ID, already set, not required)You can extend list of available providers by creating custom provider and registering it on app launch.
By default, you are using chat-based mode when using Chat with files.
If you want to only query index (without chat) you can enable Query index only (without chat) option.
You can create a custom vector store provider or data loader for your data and develop a custom launcher for the application. To register your custom vector store provider or data loader, simply register it by passing the vector store provider instance to vector_stores keyword argument and loader instance in the loaders keyword argument:
# custom_launcher.py
from pygpt_net.app import run
from plugins import CustomPlugin, OtherCustomPlugin
from llms import CustomLLM
from vector_stores import CustomVectorStore
from loaders import CustomLoader
plugins = [
CustomPlugin(),
OtherCustomPlugin(),
]
llms = [
CustomLLM(),
]
vector_stores = [
CustomVectorStore(),
]
loaders = [
CustomLoader(),
]
run(
plugins=plugins,
llms=llms,
vector_stores=vector_stores, # <--- list with custom vector store providers
loaders=loaders # <--- list with custom data loaders
)
The vector store provider must be an instance of pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.base.BaseStore.
You can review the code of the built-in providers in pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores and use them as examples when creating a custom provider.
The data loader must be an instance of pygpt_net.provider.loaders.base.BaseLoader.
You can review the code of the built-in loaders in pygpt_net.provider.loaders and use them as examples when creating a custom loader.
Configuring data loaders
In the Settings -> Llama-index -> Data loaders section you can define the additional keyword arguments to pass into data loader instance.
In most cases, an internal Llama-index loaders are used internally. You can check these base loaders e.g. here:
Tip: to index an external data or data from the Web just ask for it, by using Command: Web Search plugin, e.g. you can ask the model with Please index the youtube video: URL to video, etc. Data loader for a specified content will be choosen automatically.
Allowed additional keyword arguments for built-in data loaders (files):
CSV Files (file_csv)
concat_rows - bool, default: Trueencoding - str, default: utf-8HTML Files (file_html)
tag - str, default: sectionignore_no_id - bool, default: FalseImage (vision) (file_image_vision)
This loader can operate in two modes: local model and API. If the local mode is enabled, then the local model will be used. The local mode requires a Python/PyPi version of the application and is not available in the compiled or Snap versions. If the API mode (default) is selected, then the OpenAI API and the standard vision model will be used.
Note: Usage of API mode consumes additional tokens in OpenAI API (for GPT-4 Vision model)!
Local mode requires torch, transformers, sentencepiece and Pillow to be installed and uses the Salesforce/blip2-opt-2.7b model to describing images.
keep_image - bool, default: Falselocal_prompt - str, default: Question: describe what you see in this image. Answer:api_prompt - str, default: Describe what you see in this image - Prompt to use in APIapi_model - str, default: gpt-4-vision-preview - Model to use in APIapi_tokens - int, default: 1000 - Max output tokens in APIIPYNB Notebook files (file_ipynb)

return_full_document - bool, default: FalseVideo/Audio (file_video_audio)
This loader can operate in two modes: local model and API.
If the local mode is enabled, then the local Whisper model will be used. The local mode requires a Python/PyPi version of the application and is not available in the compiled or Snap versions.
If the API mode (default) is selected, then the currently selected provider in Audio Input plugin will be used. If the OpenAI Whisper is chosen then the OpenAI API and the API Whisper model will be used.
Note: Usage of Whisper via API consumes additional tokens in OpenAI API (for Whisper model)!
Local mode requires torch and openai-whisper to be installed and uses the Whisper model locally to transcribing video and audio.

WARNING: Please use this mode with caution - autonomous mode, when connected with other plugins, may produce unexpected results!
The mode activates autonomous mode, where AI begins a conversation with itself. You can set this loop to run for any number of iterations. Throughout this sequence, the model will engage in self-dialogue, answering his own questions and comments, in order to find the best possible solution, subjecting previously generated steps to criticism.
WARNING: Setting the number of run steps (iterations) to 0 activates an infinite loop which can generate a large number of requests and cause very high token consumption, so use this option with caution! Confirmation will be displayed every time you run the infinite loop.
This mode is similar to Auto-GPT - it can be used to create more advanced inferences and to solve problems by breaking them down into subtasks that the model will autonomously perform one after another until the goal is achieved.
You can create presets with custom instructions for multiple agents, incorporating various workflows, instructions, and goals to achieve.
All plugins are available for agents, so you can enable features such as file access, command execution, web searching, image generation, vision analysis, etc., for your agents. Connecting agents with plugins can create a fully autonomous, self-sufficient system. All currently enabled plugins are automatically available to the Agent.
When the Auto-stop option is enabled, the agent will attempt to stop once the goal has been reached.
Options
The agent is essentially a virtual mode that internally sequences the execution of a selected underlying mode. You can choose which internal mode the agent should use in the settings:
Settings / Agent (autonomous) / Sub-mode to use
Available choices include: chat, completion, langchain, vision, llama_index (Chat with files).
Default is: chat.
If you want to use the Llama-index mode when running the agent, you can also specify which index Llama-index should use with the option:
Settings / Agent (autonomous) / Index to use
Added in version 2.2.7 (2024-05-01).
This mode is experimental.
Expert mode allows for the creation of experts (using presets) and then consulting them during a conversation. In this mode, a primary base context is created for conducting the conversation. From within this context, the model can make requests to an expert to perform a task and return the results to the main thread. When an expert is called in the background, a separate context is created for them with their own memory. This means that each expert, during the life of one main context, also has access to their own memory via their separate, isolated context.
In simple terms - you can imagine an expert as a separate, additional instance of the model running in the background, which can be called at any moment for assistance, with its own context and memory, as well as its own specialized instructions in a given subject.
Experts do not share contexts with one another, and the only point of contact between them is the main conversation thread. In this main thread, the model acts as a manager of experts, who can exchange data between them as needed.
An expert is selected based on the name in the presets; for example, naming your expert as: ID = python_expert, name = "Python programmer" will create an expert whom the model will attempt to invoke for matters related to Python programming. You can also manually request to refer to a given expert:
Call the Python expert to generate some code.
Experts can be activated or deactivated - to enable or disable use RMB context menu to select the Enable/Disable options from the presets list. Only enabled experts are available to use in the thread.
Experts can also be used in Agent (autonomous) mode - by creating a new agent using a preset. Simply move the appropriate experts to the active list to automatically make them available for use by the agent.
You can also use experts in "inline" mode - by activating the Experts (inline) plugin. This allows for the use of experts in any mode, such as normal chat.
Expert mode, like agent mode, is a "virtual" mode - you need to select a target mode of operation for it, which can be done in the settings at Settings / Agent (autonomous) / Sub-mode for experts.
You can also ask for a list of active experts at any time:
Give me a list of active experts.
Since version 2.2.8, PyGPT has added beta support for disabled people and voice control. This may be very useful for blind people.
In the Config / Accessibility menu, you can turn on accessibility features such as:
activating voice control
translating actions and events on the screen with audio speech
setting up keyboard shortcuts for actions.
Using voice control
Voice control can be turned on in two ways: globally, through settings in Config -> Accessibility, and by using the Voice control (inline) plugin. Both options let you use the same voice commands, but they work a bit differently - the global option allows you to run commands outside of a conversation, anywhere, while the plugin option lets you execute commands directly during a conversation – allowing you to interact with the model and execute commands at the same time, within the conversation.
In the plugin (inline) option, you can also turn on a special trigger word that will be needed for content to be recognized as a voice command. You can set this up by going to Plugins -> Settings -> Voice Control (inline):
Magic prefix for voice commands
Tip: When the voice control is enabled via a plugin, simply provide commands while providing the content of the conversation by using the standard Microphone button.
Enabling voice control globally
Turn on the voice control option in Config / Accessibility:
Enable voice control (using microphone)
Once you enable this option, an Voice Control button will appear at the bottom right corner of the window. When you click on this button, the microphone will start listening; clicking it again stops listening and starts recognizing the voice command you said. You can cancel voice recording at any time with the ESC key. You can also set a keyboard shortcut to turn voice recording on/off.
Voice command recognition works based on a model, so you don't have to worry about saying things perfectly.
Here's a list of commands you can ask for by voice:
More commands coming soon.
Just ask for an action that matches one of the descriptions above. These descriptions are also known to the model, and relevant commands are assigned to them. When you voice a command that fits one of those patterns, the model will trigger the appropriate action.
For convenience, you can enable a short sound to play when voice recording starts and stops. To do this, turn on the option:
Audio notify microphone listening start/stop
To enable a sound notification when a voice command is recognized and command execution begins, turn on the option:
Audio notify voice command execution
For voice translation of on-screen events and information about completed commands via speech synthesis, you can turn on the option:
Use voice synthesis to describe events on the screen.
PyGPT makes it simple for users to upload files to the server and send them to the model for tasks like analysis, similar to attaching files in ChatGPT. There's a separate Files tab next to the text input area specifically for managing file uploads. Users can opt to have files automatically deleted after each upload or keep them on the list for repeated use.
The attachment feature is available in both the Assistant and Vision modes at default.
In Assistant mode, you can send documents and files to analyze, while in Vision mode, you can send images.
In other modes, you can enable attachments by activating the Vision (inline) plugin (for providing images only).
PyGPT enables the automatic download and saving of files created by the model. This is carried out in the background, with the files being saved to an data folder located within the user's working directory. To view or manage these files, users can navigate to the Files tab which features a file browser for this specific directory. Here, users have the interface to handle all files sent by the AI.
This data directory is also where the application stores files that are generated locally by the AI, such as code files or any other data requested from the model. Users have the option to execute code directly from the stored files and read their contents, with the results fed back to the AI. This hands-off process is managed by the built-in plugin system and model-triggered commands. You can also indexing files from this directory (using integrated Llama-index) and use it's contents as additional context provided to discussion.
The Command: Files I/O plugin takes care of file operations in the data directory, while the Command: Code Interpreter plugin allows for the execution of code from these files.
To allow the model to manage files or python code execution, the Execute commands option must be active, along with the above-mentioned plugins:
Using the Draw tool, you can create quick sketches and submit them to the model for analysis. You can also edit opened from disk or captured from camera images, for example, by adding elements like arrows or outlines to objects. Additionally, you can capture screenshots from the system - the captured image is placed in the drawing tool and attached to the query being sent.
To capture the screenshot just click on the Ask with screenshot option in a tray-icon dropdown:
Using the calendar, you can go back to selected conversations from a specific day and add daily notes. After adding a note, it will be marked on the list, and you can change the color of its label by right-clicking and selecting Set label color. By clicking on a particular day of the week, conversations from that day will be displayed.
PyGPT features a continuous chat mode that maintains a long context of the ongoing dialogue. It preserves the entire conversation history and automatically appends it to each new message (prompt) you send to the AI. Additionally, you have the flexibility to revisit past conversations whenever you choose. The application keeps a record of your chat history, allowing you to resume discussions from the exact point you stopped.
On the left side of the application interface, there is a panel that displays a list of saved conversations. You can save numerous contexts and switch between them with ease. This feature allows you to revisit and continue from any point in a previous conversation. PyGPT automatically generates a summary for each context, akin to the way ChatGPT operates and gives you the option to modify these titles itself.
You can disable context support in the settings by using the following option:
Config -> Settings -> Use context
You can clear the entire memory (all contexts) by selecting the menu option:
File -> Clear history...
On the application side, the context is stored in the SQLite database located in the working directory (db.sqlite).
In addition, all history is also saved to .txt files for easy reading.
Once a conversation begins, a title for the chat is generated and displayed on the list to the left. This process is similar to ChatGPT, where the subject of the conversation is summarized, and a title for the thread is created based on that summary. You can change the name of the thread at any time.
Presets in PyGPT are essentially templates used to store and quickly apply different configurations. Each preset includes settings for the mode you want to use (such as chat, completion, or image generation), an initial system message, an assigned name for the AI, a username for the session, and the desired "temperature" for the conversation. A warmer "temperature" setting allows the AI to provide more creative responses, while a cooler setting encourages more predictable replies. These presets can be used across various modes and with models accessed via the OpenAI API or Langchain.
The system lets you create as many presets as needed and easily switch among them. Additionally, you can clone an existing preset, which is useful for creating variations based on previously set configurations and experimentation.
The application includes several sample presets that help you become acquainted with the mechanism of their use.
PyGPT enables quick and easy image creation with DALL-E 3.
The older model version, DALL-E 2, is also accessible. Generating images is akin to a chat conversation - a user's prompt triggers the generation, followed by downloading, saving to the computer,
and displaying the image onscreen. You can send raw prompt to DALL-E in Image generation mode or ask the model for the best prompt.
Image generation using DALL-E is available in every mode via plugin DALL-E 3 Image Generation (inline). Just ask any model, in any mode, like e.g. GPT-4 to generate an image and it will do it inline, without need to mode change.
If you want to generate images (using DALL-E) directly in chat you must enable plugin DALL-E 3 Inline in the Plugins menu. Plugin allows you to generate images in Chat mode:
You can generate up to 4 different variants (DALL-E 2) for a given prompt in one session. DALL-E 3 allows one image. To select the desired number of variants to create, use the slider located in the right-hand corner at the bottom of the screen. This replaces the conversation temperature slider when you switch to image generation mode.
There is an option for switching prompt generation mode.
If Raw Mode is enabled, DALL-E will receive the prompt exactly as you have provided it. If Raw Mode is disabled, GPT will generate the best prompt for you based on your instructions.
Once you've generated an image, you can easily save it anywhere on your disk by right-clicking on it. You also have the options to delete it or view it in full size in your web browser.
Tip: Use presets to save your prepared prompts. This lets you quickly use them again for generating new images later on.
The app keeps a history of all your prompts, allowing you to revisit any session and reuse previous prompts for creating new images.
Images are stored in img directory in PyGPT user data folder.
All models are specified in the configuration file models.json, which you can customize.
This file is located in your working directory. You can add new models provided directly by OpenAI API
and those supported by Langchain to this file. Configuration for Langchain wrapper is placed in langchain key.
To add a new model using the Langchain wrapper in PyGPT, insert the model's configuration details into the models.json file. This should include the model's name, its supported modes (either chat, completion, or both), the LLM provider (which can be either e.g. OpenAI or HuggingFace), and, if you are using a HuggingFace model, an optional API KEY.
Example of models configuration - models.json:
"gpt-3.5-turbo": {
"id": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"name": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"mode": [
"chat",
"assistant",
"langchain",
"llama_index"
],
"langchain": {
"provider": "openai",
"mode": [
"chat"
],
"args": [
{
"name": "model_name",
"value": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"type": "str"
}
],
"env": [
{
"name": "OPENAI_API_KEY",
"value": "{api_key}"
}
]
},
"llama_index": {
"provider": "openai",
"mode": [
"chat"
],
"args": [
{
"name": "model",
"value": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"type": "str"
}
],
"env": [
{
"name": "OPENAI_API_KEY",
"value": "{api_key}"
}
]
},
"ctx": 4096,
"tokens": 4096,
"default": false
},
There is bult-in support for those LLMs providers:
- OpenAI (openai)
- Azure OpenAI (azure_openai)
- HuggingFace (huggingface)
- Anthropic (anthropic)
- Llama 2 (llama2)
- Ollama (ollama)
Handling LLMs with Langchain is implemented through separated wrappers. This allows for the addition of support for any provider and model available via Langchain. All built-in wrappers for the models and its providers are placed in the pygpt_net.provider.llms.
These wrappers are loaded into the application during startup using launcher.add_llm() method:
# app.py
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.openai import OpenAILLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.azure_openai import AzureOpenAILLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.anthropic import AnthropicLLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.hugging_face import HuggingFaceLLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.llama import Llama2LLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.ollama import OllamaLLM
def run(**kwargs):
"""Runs the app."""
# Initialize the app
launcher = Launcher()
launcher.init()
# Register plugins
...
# Register langchain LLMs wrappers
launcher.add_llm(OpenAILLM())
launcher.add_llm(AzureOpenAILLM())
launcher.add_llm(AnthropicLLM())
launcher.add_llm(HuggingFaceLLM())
launcher.add_llm(Llama2LLM())
launcher.add_llm(OllamaLLM())
# Launch the app
launcher.run()
To add support for providers not included by default, you can create your own wrapper that returns a custom model to the application and then pass this custom wrapper to the launcher.
Extending PyGPT with custom plugins and LLM wrappers is straightforward:
To register custom LLM wrappers:
llms keyword argument.Example:
# launcher.py
from pygpt_net.app import run
from plugins import CustomPlugin, OtherCustomPlugin
from llms import CustomLLM
plugins = [
CustomPlugin(),
OtherCustomPlugin(),
]
llms = [
CustomLLM(),
]
vector_stores = []
run(
plugins=plugins,
llms=llms,
vector_stores=vector_stores
)
Examples (tutorial files)
See the examples directory in this repository with examples of custom launcher, plugin, vector store, LLM (Langchain and Llama-index) provider and data loader:
examples/custom_launcher.py
examples/example_audio_input.py
examples/example_audio_output.py
examples/example_data_loader.py
examples/example_llm.py <-- use it as an example
examples/example_plugin.py
examples/example_vector_store.py
examples/example_web_search.py
These example files can be used as a starting point for creating your own extensions for PyGPT.
To integrate your own model or provider into PyGPT, you can also reference the classes located in the pygpt_net.provider.llms. These samples can act as an more complex example for your custom class. Ensure that your custom wrapper class includes two essential methods: chat and completion. These methods should return the respective objects required for the model to operate in chat and completion modes.
From version 2.0.114 you can also register your own Vector Store provider:
# app.py
# vector stores
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.chroma import ChromaProvider
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.elasticsearch import ElasticsearchProvider
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.pinecode import PinecodeProvider
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.redis import RedisProvider
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.simple import SimpleProvider
def run(**kwargs):
# ...
# register base vector store providers (llama-index)
launcher.add_vector_store(ChromaProvider())
launcher.add_vector_store(ElasticsearchProvider())
launcher.add_vector_store(PinecodeProvider())
launcher.add_vector_store(RedisProvider())
launcher.add_vector_store(SimpleProvider())
# register custom vector store providers (llama-index)
vector_stores = kwargs.get('vector_stores', None)
if isinstance(vector_stores, list):
for store in vector_stores:
launcher.add_vector_store(store)
# ...
To register your custom vector store provider just register it by passing provider instance in vector_stores keyword argument:
# custom_launcher.py
from pygpt_net.app import run
from plugins import CustomPlugin, OtherCustomPlugin
from llms import CustomLLM
from vector_stores import CustomVectorStore
plugins = [
CustomPlugin(),
OtherCustomPlugin(),
]
llms = [
CustomLLM(),
]
vector_stores = [
CustomVectorStore(),
]
run(
plugins=plugins,
llms=llms,
vector_stores=vector_stores
)
PyGPT can be enhanced with plugins to add new features.
Tip: Plugins works best with GPT-4 models.
The following plugins are currently available, and model can use them instantly:
Audio Input - provides speech recognition.
Audio Output - provides voice synthesis.
Autonomous Agent (inline) - enables autonomous conversation (AI to AI), manages loop, and connects output back to input. This is the inline Agent mode.
Chat with files (Llama-index, inline) - plugin integrates Llama-index storage in any chat and provides additional knowledge into context (from indexed files and previous context from database).
Command: API calls - plugin lets you connect the model to the external services using custom defined API calls.
Command: Code Interpreter - responsible for generating and executing Python code, functioning much like
the Code Interpreter on ChatGPT, but locally. This means GPT can interface with any script, application, or code.
The plugin can also execute system commands, allowing GPT to integrate with your operating system.
Plugins can work in conjunction to perform sequential tasks; for example, the Files plugin can write generated
Python code to a file, which the Code Interpreter can execute it and return its result to GPT.
Command: Custom Commands - allows you to create and execute custom commands on your system.
Command: Files I/O - provides access to the local filesystem, enabling GPT to read and write files,
as well as list and create directories.
Command: Web Search - provides the ability to connect to the Web, search web pages for current data, and index external content using Llama-index data loaders.
Command: Serial port / USB - plugin provides commands for reading and sending data to USB ports.
Context history (calendar, inline) - provides access to context history database.
Crontab / Task scheduler - plugin provides cron-based job scheduling - you can schedule tasks/prompts to be sent at any time using cron-based syntax for task setup.
DALL-E 3: Image Generation (inline) - integrates DALL-E 3 image generation with any chat and mode. Just enable and ask for image in Chat mode, using standard model like GPT-4. The plugin does not require the Execute commands option to be enabled.
Experts (inline) - allows calling experts in any chat mode. This is the inline Experts (co-op) mode.
GPT-4 Vision (inline) - integrates Vision capabilities with any chat mode, not just Vision mode. When the plugin is enabled, the model temporarily switches to vision in the background when an image attachment or vision capture is provided.
Real Time - automatically appends the current date and time to the system prompt, informing the model about current time.
System Prompt Extra (append) - appends additional system prompts (extra data) from a list to every current system prompt. You can enhance every system prompt with extra instructions that will be automatically appended to the system prompt.
Voice Control (inline) - provides voice control command execution within a conversation.
The plugin facilitates speech recognition (by default using the Whisper model from OpenAI, Google and Bing are also available). It allows for voice commands to be relayed to the AI using your own voice. Whisper doesn't require any extra API keys or additional configurations; it uses the main OpenAI key. In the plugin's configuration options, you should adjust the volume level (min energy) at which the plugin will respond to your microphone. Once the plugin is activated, a new Speak option will appear at the bottom near the Send button - when this is enabled, the application will respond to the voice received from the microphone.
The plugin can be extended with other speech recognition providers.

The plugin lets you turn text into speech using the TTS model from OpenAI or other services like Microsoft Azure, Google, and Eleven Labs. You can add more text-to-speech providers to it too. OpenAI TTS does not require any additional API keys or extra configuration; it utilizes the main OpenAI key.
Microsoft Azure requires to have an Azure API Key. Before using speech synthesis via Microsoft Azure, Google or Eleven Labs, you must configure the audio plugin with your API keys, regions and voices if required.
Through the available options, you can select the voice that you want the model to use. More voice synthesis providers coming soon.
To enable voice synthesis, activate the Audio Output plugin in the Plugins menu or turn on the Audio Output option in the Audio / Voice menu (both options in the menu achieve the same outcome).

WARNING: Please use autonomous mode with caution! - this mode, when connected with other plugins, may produce unexpected results!
The plugin activates autonomous mode in standard chat modes, where AI begins a conversation with itself. You can set this loop to run for any number of iterations. Throughout this sequence, the model will engage in self-dialogue, answering his own questions and comments, in order to find the best possible solution, subjecting previously generated steps to criticism.
This mode is similar to Auto-GPT - it can be used to create more advanced inferences and to solve problems by breaking them down into subtasks that the model will autonomously perform one after another until the goal is achieved. The plugin is capable of working in cooperation with other plugins, thus it can utilize tools such as web search, access to the file system, or image generation using DALL-E.
You can adjust the number of iterations for the self-conversation in the Plugins / Settings... menu under the following option:
Iterations iterationsDefault: 3
WARNING: Setting this option to 0 activates an infinity loop which can generate a large number of requests and cause very high token consumption, so use this option with caution!
Prompts promptsEditable list of prompts used to instruct how to handle autonomous mode, you can create as many prompts as you want. First active prompt on list will be used to handle autonomous mode. INFO: At least one active prompt is required!
Auto-stop after goal is reached auto_stopIf enabled, plugin will stop after goal is reached." Default: True
Reverse roles between iterations reverse_rolesOnly for Completion/Langchain modes.
If enabled, this option reverses the roles (AI <> user) with each iteration. For example,
if in the previous iteration the response was generated for "Batman," the next iteration will use that
response to generate an input for "Joker." Default: True
Plugin integrates Llama-index storage in any chat and provides additional knowledge into context.
Ask Llama-index first ask_llama_firstWhen enabled, then Llama-index will be asked first, and response will be used as additional knowledge in prompt. When disabled, then Llama-index will be asked only when needed. INFO: Disabled in autonomous mode (via plugin)! Default: False
Auto-prepare question before asking Llama-index first prepare_questionWhen enabled, then question will be prepared before asking Llama-index first to create best query. Default: False
Model for question preparation model_prepare_questionModel used to prepare question before asking Llama-index. Default: gpt-3.5-turbo
Max output tokens for question preparation prepare_question_max_tokensMax tokens in output when preparing question before asking Llama-index. Default: 500
Prompt for question preparation syntax_prepare_questionSystem prompt for question preparation.
Max characters in question max_question_charsMax characters in question when querying Llama-index, 0 = no limit. Default: 1000
Append metadata to context append_metaIf enabled, then metadata from Llama-index will be appended to additional context. Default: False
Model model_queryModel used for querying Llama-index. Default: gpt-3.5-turbo
Indexes IDs idxIndexes to use. If you want to use multiple indexes at once then separate them by comma. Default: base
PyGPT lets you connect the model to the external services using custom defined API calls.
To activate this feature, turn on the Command: API calls plugin found in the Plugins menu.
In this plugin you can provide list of allowed API calls, their parameters and request types. The model will replace provided placeholders with required params and make API call to external service.
Your custom API calls cmdsYou can provide custom API calls on the list here.
Params to specify for API call:
%param% as POST param placeholders{param} as GET param placeholdersAn example API call is provided with plugin by default, it calls the Wikipedia API:
search_wikisend API call to Wikipedia to search pages by queryquery, limitGETIn the above example, every time you ask the model for query Wiki for provided query (e.g. Call the Wikipedia API for query: Nikola Tesla) it will replace placeholders in provided API endpoint URL with a generated query and it will call prepared API endpoint URL, like below:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&limit=5&format=json&search=Nikola%20Tesla
You can specify type of request: GET, POST and POST JSON.
In the POST request you can provide POST params, they will be encoded and send as POST data.
In the POST JSON request you must provide JSON object template to be send, using %param% placeholders in the JSON object to be replaced with the model.
You can also provide any required credentials, like Authorization headers, API keys, tokens, etc. using the headers field - you can provide a JSON object here with a dictionary key => value - provided JSON object will be converted to headers dictonary and send with the request.
Disable SSL verify disable_sslDisables SSL verification when making requests. Default: False
Timeout timeoutConnection timeout (seconds). Default: 5
User agent user_agentUser agent to use when making requests. Default: Mozilla/5.0
The plugin operates similarly to the Code Interpreter in ChatGPT, with the key difference that it works locally on the user's system. It allows for the execution of any Python code on the computer that the model may generate. When combined with the Command: Files I/O plugin, it facilitates running code from files saved in the data directory. You can also prepare your own code files and enable the model to use them or add your own plugin for this purpose. You can execute commands and code on the host machine or in Docker container.
Code interpreter: a real-time Python code interpreter is built-in. Click the <> icon to open the interpreter window. Both the input and output of the interpreter are connected to the plugin. Any output generated by the executed code will be displayed in the interpreter. Additionally, you can request the model to retrieve contents from the interpreter window output.
Another feature is the ability to execute system commands and return their results. With this functionality, the plugin can run any system command, retrieve the output, and then feed the result back to the model. When used with other features, this provides extensive integration capabilities with the system.
Tip: always remember to enable the Execute commands option to allow execute commands from the plugins.
Options:
Python command template python_cmd_tplPython command template (use {filename} as path to file placeholder). Default: python3 {filename}
Enable: code_execute cmd.code_executeAllows code_execute command execution. If enabled, provides Python code execution (generate and execute from file). Default: True
Enable: code_execute_all cmd.code_execute_allAllows code_execute_all command execution. If enabled, provides execution of all the Python code in interpreter window. Default: True
Enable: code_execute_file cmd.code_execute_fileAllows code_execute_file command execution. If enabled, provides Python code execution from existing .py file. Default: True
Enable: sys_exec cmd.sys_execAllows sys_exec command execution. If enabled, provides system commands execution. Default: True
Enable: get_python_output cmd.get_python_outputAllows get_python_output command execution. If enabled, it allows retrieval of the output from the Python code interpreter window. Default: True
Enable: get_python_input cmd.get_python_inputAllows get_python_input command execution. If enabled, it allows retrieval all input code (from edit section) from the Python code interpreter window. Default: True
Enable: clear_python_output cmd.clear_python_outputAllows clear_python_output command execution. If enabled, it allows clear the output of the Python code interpreter window. Default: True
Sandbox (docker container) sandbox_dockerExecute commands in sandbox (docker container). Docker must be installed and running. Default: False
Docker image sandbox_docker_imageDocker image to use for sandbox Default: python:3.8-alpine
Auto-append CWD to sys_exec auto_cwdAutomatically append current working directory to sys_exec command. Default: True
Connect to the Python code interpreter window attach_outputAutomatically attach code input/output to the Python code interpreter window. Default: True
With the Custom Commands plugin, you can integrate PyGPT with your operating system and scripts or applications. You can define an unlimited number of custom commands and instruct GPT on when and how to execute them. Configuration is straightforward, and PyGPT includes a simple tutorial command for testing and learning how it works:
To add a new custom command, click the ADD button and then:
instruction explaining what this command does; GPT will know when to use the command based on this instruction.params, separated by commas - GPT will send data to your commands using these params. These params will be placed into placeholders you have defined in the cmd field. For example:If you want instruct GPT to execute your Python script named smart_home_lights.py with an argument, such as 1 to turn the light ON, and 0 to turn it OFF, define it as follows:
python /path/to/smart_home_lights.py {arg}The setup defined above will work as follows:
When you ask GPT to turn your lights ON, GPT will locate this command and prepare the command python /path/to/smart_home_lights.py {arg} with {arg} replaced with 1. On your system, it will execute the command:
python /path/to/smart_home_lights.py 1
And that's all. GPT will take care of the rest when you ask to turn ON the lights.
You can define as many placeholders and parameters as you desire.
Here are some predefined system placeholders for use:
{_time} - current time in H:M:S format{_date} - current date in Y-m-d format{_datetime} - current date and time in Y-m-d H:M:S format{_file} - path to the file from which the command is invoked{_home} - path to PyGPT's home/working directoryYou can connect predefined placeholders with your own params.
Example:
echo "{song_text}" > {_home}/{title}.txtWith the setup above, every time you ask GPT to generate a song for you and save it to the disk, it will:
Example tutorial command
PyGPT provides simple tutorial command to show how it works, to run it just ask GPT for execute tutorial test command and it will show you how it works:
> please execute tutorial test command
The plugin allows for file management within the local filesystem. It enables the model to create, read, write and query files located in the data directory, which can be found in the user's work directory. With this plugin, the AI can also generate Python code files and thereafter execute that code within the user's system.
Plugin capabilities include:
If a file being created (with the same name) already exists, a prefix including the date and time is added to the file name.

The plugin integrates DALL-E 3 image generation with any chat mode. Simply enable it and request an image in Chat mode, using a standard model such as GPT-4. The plugin does not require the Execute commands option to be enabled.
Options
Prompt promptThe prompt is used to generate a query for the DALL-E image generation model, which runs in the background.
The plugin allows calling experts in any chat mode. This is the inline Experts (co-op) mode.
See the Mode -> Experts section for more details.
The plugin integrates vision capabilities across all chat modes, not just Vision mode. Once enabled, it allows the model to seamlessly switch to vision processing in the background whenever an image attachment or vision capture is detected.
Tip: When using Vision (inline) by utilizing a plugin in standard mode, such as Chat (not Vision mode), the + Vision special checkbox will appear at the bottom of the Chat window. It will be automatically enabled any time you provide content for analysis (like an uploaded photo). When the checkbox is enabled, the vision model is used. If you wish to exit the vision model after image analysis, simply uncheck the checkbox. It will activate again automatically when the next image content for analysis is provided.
Options
Model modelThe model used to temporarily provide vision capabilities. Default: gpt-4-vision-preview.
Prompt promptThe prompt used for vision mode. It will append or replace current system prompt when using vision model.
Replace prompt replace_promptReplace whole system prompt with vision prompt against appending it to the current prompt. Default: False
Enable: capturing images from camera cmd.camera_captureAllows capture command execution. If enabled, model will be able to capture images from camera itself. The Execute commands option must be enabled. Default: False
Enable: making screenshots cmd.make_screenshotAllows screenshot command execution. If enabled, model will be able to making screenshots itself. The Execute commands option must be enabled. Default: False
This plugin automatically adds the current date and time to each system prompt you send. You have the option to include just the date, just the time, or both.
When enabled, it quietly enhances each system prompt with current time information before sending it to GPT.
Options
Append time hourIf enabled, it appends the current time to the system prompt. Default: True
Append date dateIf enabled, it appends the current date to the system prompt. Default: True
Template tplTemplate to append to the system prompt. The placeholder {time} will be replaced with the
current date and time in real-time. Default: Current time is {time}.
The plugin appends additional system prompts (extra data) from a list to every current system prompt. You can enhance every system prompt with extra instructions that will be automatically appended to the system prompt.
Options
Prompts promptsList of extra prompts - prompts that will be appended to system prompt. All active extra prompts defined on list will be appended to the system prompt in the order they are listed here.
The plugin provides voice control command execution within a conversation.
See the Accessibility section for more details.
You can create your own plugin for PyGPT at any time. The plugin can be written in Python and then registered with the application just before launching it. All plugins included with the app are stored in the plugin directory - you can use them as coding examples for your own plugins.
PyGPT can be extended with:
Custom plugins
Custom LLMs wrappers
Custom vector store providers
Custom data loaders
Custom audio input providers
Custom audio output providers
Custom web search engine providers
Examples (tutorial files)
See the examples directory in this repository with examples of custom launcher, plugin, vector store, LLM (Langchain and Llama-index) provider and data loader:
examples/custom_launcher.py

Tip: gpt-4-1106-preview is the best model to use for command handling, The gpt-4-turbo-preview model can sometimes refuse to execute commands.
PyGPT uses an internal syntax to define commands and their parameters, which can then be used by the model and executed on the application side or even directly in the system. This syntax looks as follows (example command below):
~###~{"cmd": "send_email", "params": {"quote": "Why don't skeletons fight each other? They don't have the guts!"}}~###~
It is JSON wrapped between ~###~. The application extracts the JSON object from such formatted text and executes the appropriate function based on the provided parameters and command name. Many of these types of commands are defined in plugins (e.g., those used for file operations or internet searches). You can also define your own commands using the Custom Commands plugin, or simply by creating your own plugin and adding it to the application.
Tip: The Execute commands option checkbox must be enabled to allow the execution of commands from plugins. Disable the option if you do not want to use commands, to prevent additional token usage (as the command execution system prompt consumes additional tokens).
A special system prompt responsible for invoking commands is added to the main system prompt if the Execute commands option is active.
However, there is an additional possibility to define your own commands and execute them with the help of GPT. These are functions - defined on the OpenAI API side and described using JSON objects. You can find a complete guide on how to define functions here:
https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling
https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/how_to_call_functions_with_chat_models
PyGPT offers compatibility of these functions with commands used in the application. All you need to do is define the appropriate functions using the syntax required by OpenAI, and PyGPT will do the rest, translating such syntax on the fly into its own internal format.
You can define functions for modes: Chat and Assistants.
Note that - in Chat mode, they should be defined in Presets, and for Assistants, in the Assistant settings.
Example of usage:
Create a new Preset, open the Preset edit dialog and add a new function using + Function button with the following content:
Name: send_email
Description: Sends a quote using email
Params (JSON):
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"quote": {
"type": "string",
"description": "A generated funny quote"
}
},
"required": [
"quote"
]
}
Then, in the Custom Commands plugin, create a new command with the same name and the same parameters:
Command name: send_email
Instruction/prompt: send mail (don't needed, because it will be called on OpenAI side)
Params list: quote
Command to execute: echo "OK. Email sent: {quote}"
At next, enable the Execute commands option and enable the plugin.
Ask GPT in Chat mode:
Create a funny quote and email it
In response you will receive prepared command, like this:
~###~{"cmd": "send_email", "params": {"quote": "Why do we tell actors to 'break a leg?' Because every play has a cast!"}}~###~
After receiving this, PyGPT will execute the system echo command with params given from params field and replacing {quote} placeholder with quote param value.
As a result, response like this will be sent to the model:
[{"request": {"cmd": "send_email"}, "result": "OK. Email sent: Why do we tell actors to 'break a leg?' Because every play has a cast!"}]
In this mode (via Assistants API), it should be done similarly, with the difference that here the functions should be defined in the assistant's settings.
With this flow you can use both forms - OpenAI and PyGPT - to define and execute commands and functions in the application. They will cooperate with each other and you can use them interchangeably.
PyGPT features several useful tools, including:
This tool allows indexing of local files or directories and external web content to a vector database, which can then be used with the Chat with Files mode. Using this tool, you can manage local indexes and add new data with built-in Llama-index integration.
A simple video/audio player that allows you to play video files directly from within the app.
A simple image browser that lets you preview images directly within the app.
A simple text editor that enables you to edit text files directly within the app.
An audio transcription tool with which you can prepare a transcript from a video or audio file. It will use a speech recognition plugin to generate the text from the file.
This tool allows you to run Python code directly from within the app. It is integrated with the Code Interpreter plugin, ensuring that code generated by the model is automatically available from the interpreter. In the plugin settings, you can enable the execution of code in a Docker environment.
The application features a token calculator. It attempts to forecast the number of tokens that a particular query will consume and displays this estimate in real time. This gives you improved control over your token usage. The app provides detailed information about the tokens used for the user's prompt, the system prompt, any additional data, and those used within the context (the memory of previous entries).
Remember that these are only approximate calculations and do not include, for example, the number of tokens consumed by some plugins. You can find the exact number of tokens used on the OpenAI website.
After receiving a response from the model, the application displays the actual total number of tokens used for the query (received from the API).

The configuration is stored in JSON files for easy manual modification outside of the application. These configuration files are located in the user's work directory within the following subdirectory:
{HOME_DIR}/.config/pygpt-net/
The application has a built-in notepad, divided into several tabs. This can be useful for storing information in a convenient way, without the need to open an external text editor. The content of the notepad is automatically saved whenever the content changes.
You can create many "profiles" for an app and switch between them. Each profile uses its own configuration, settings, history of contexts, and a separate folder for user files. This allows you to make many setups and quickly switch between them, changing the whole setting with one click.
The app allows you to make new profiles, edit existing ones, and duplicate current ones.
To make a new profile, select the option from the menu Config -> Profile -> New profile...
To edit saved profiles, choose the option from the menu Config -> Profile -> Edit profiles...
To switch to a created profile, pick the profile from the menu: Config -> Profile -> (profile name)
Each profile uses its own user directory (workdir). You can link a newly created (or edited) profile to an already existing workdir with its configuration.
The name of the currently active profile is shown in (Profile Name) in the window title.
You can manually edit the configuration files in this directory (this is your work directory):
{HOME_DIR}/.config/pygpt-net/
assistants.json - stores the list of assistants.attachments.json - stores the list of current attachments.config.json - stores the main configuration settings.models.json - stores models configurations.cache - a directory for audio cache.capture - a directory for captured images from camera and screenshotscss - a directory for CSS stylesheets (user override)history - a directory for context history in .txt format.idx - Llama-index indexesimg - a directory for images generated with DALL-E 3 and DALL-E 2, saved as .png files.locale - a directory for locales (user override)data - a directory for data files and files downloaded/generated by GPT.presets - a directory for presets stored as .json files.upload - a directory for local copies of attachments coming from outside the workdirdb.sqlite - a database with contexts, notepads and indexes data recordsapp.log - a file with error and debug logLocale .ini files are located in the app directory:
./data/locale
This directory is automatically scanned when the application launches. To add a new translation, create and save the file with the appropriate name, for example:
locale.es.ini
This will add Spanish as a selectable language in the application's language menu.
Overwriting CSS and locales with Your Own Files:
You can also overwrite files in the locale and css app directories with your own files in the user directory.
This allows you to overwrite language files or CSS styles in a very simple way - by just creating files in your working directory.
{HOME_DIR}/.config/pygpt-net/
locale - a directory for locales in .ini format.css - a directory for CSS styles in .css format.Adding Your Own Fonts
You can add your own fonts and use them in CSS files. To load your own fonts, you should place them in the %workdir%/fonts directory. Supported font types include: otf, ttf.
You can see the list of loaded fonts in Debug / Config.
Example:
%workdir%
|_css
|_data
|_fonts
|_MyFont
|_MyFont-Regular.ttf
|_MyFont-Bold.ttf
|...
pre {{
font-family: 'MyFont';
}}
In Settings -> Developer dialog, you can enable the Show debug menu option to turn on the debugging menu. The menu allows you to inspect the status of application elements. In the debugging menu, there is a Logger option that opens a log window. In the window, the program's operation is displayed in real-time.
Logging levels:
By default, all errors and exceptions are logged to the file:
{HOME_DIR}/.config/pygpt-net/app.log
To increase the logging level (ERROR level is default), run the application with --debug argument:
python3 run.py --debug=1
or
python3 run.py --debug=2
The value 1 enables the INFOlogging level.
The value 2 enables the DEBUG logging level (most information).
If you have a problems with WebEngine / Chromium renderer you can force the legacy mode by launching the app with command line arguments:
python3 run.py --legacy=1
and to force disable OpenGL hardware acceleration:
python3 run.py --disable-gpu=1
You can also manualy enable legacy mode by editing config file - open the %WORKDIR%/config.json config file in editor and set the following options:
"render.engine": "legacy",
"render.open_gl": false,
PyGPT comes with an integrated update notification system. When a new version with additional features is released, you'll receive an alert within the app.
To get the new version, simply download it and start using it in place of the old one. All your custom settings like configuration, presets, indexes, and past conversations will be kept and ready to use right away in the new version.
