Sol Mate service

This service powers the Sol Mate GPT. It uses Modal because it's one of the easiest ways to run a simple service like this.

The output has been specifically formatted in a way that helps GPT visually describe the weather to Dall·E. This output can probably be used to describe the weather for any other LLM-related purpose.

Running it

Make sure you have Modal installed:

pip install modal

Then, install the dependencies:

pip install ephem pytz requests

(You may use a virtual environment for this, up to you.)

For now you'll need to update blixt in the code to your own username.

And finally you can run it to see that it works:

$ modal run sol_mate.py
