Let language models run code on your computer.
An open-source, locally running implementation of OpenAI's Code Interpreter.
Get early access to the desktop application.
pip install open-interpreter
interpreter
Open Interpreter lets LLMs run code (Python, Javascript, Shell, and more) locally. You can chat with Open Interpreter through a ChatGPT-like interface in your terminal by running $ interpreter
after installing.
This provides a natural-language interface to your computer's general-purpose capabilities:
- Create and edit photos, videos, PDFs, etc.
- Control a Chrome browser to perform research
- Plot, clean, and analyze large datasets
- ...etc.
Open.Interpreter.Demo.mp4
pip install open-interpreter
After installation, simply run interpreter
:
interpreter
import interpreter
interpreter.chat("Plot AAPL and META's normalized stock prices") # Executes a single command
interpreter.chat() # Starts an interactive chat
OpenAI's release of Code Interpreter with GPT-4 presents a fantastic opportunity to accomplish real-world tasks with ChatGPT.
However, OpenAI's service is hosted, closed-source, and heavily restricted:
- No internet access.
- Limited set of pre-installed packages.
- 100 MB maximum upload, 120.0 second runtime limit.
- State is cleared (along with any generated files or links) when the environment dies.
Open Interpreter overcomes these limitations by running on your local environment. It has full access to the internet, isn't restricted by time or file size, and can utilize any package or library.
This combines the power of GPT-4's Code Interpreter with the flexibility of your local development environment.
To start an interactive chat in your terminal, either run interpreter
from the command line:
interpreter
Or interpreter.chat()
from a .py file:
interpreter.chat()
For more precise control, you can pass messages directly to .chat(message)
:
interpreter.chat("Add subtitles to all videos in /videos.")
# ... Streams output to your terminal, completes task ...
interpreter.chat("These look great but can you make the subtitles bigger?")
# ...
In Python, Open Interpreter remembers conversation history. If you want to start fresh, you can reset it:
interpreter.reset()
interpreter.chat()
returns a List of messages when return_messages=True, which can be used to resume a conversation with interpreter.load(messages)
:
messages = interpreter.chat("My name is Killian.", return_messages=True) # Save messages to 'messages'
interpreter.reset() # Reset interpreter ("Killian" will be forgotten)
interpreter.load(messages) # Resume chat from 'messages' ("Killian" will be remembered)
You can inspect and configure Open Interpreter's system message to extend its functionality, modify permissions, or give it more context.
interpreter.system_message += """
Run shell commands with -y so the user doesn't have to confirm them.
"""
print(interpreter.system_message)
For gpt-3.5-turbo
, use fast mode:
interpreter --fast
In Python, you will need to set the model manually:
interpreter.model = "gpt-3.5-turbo"
ⓘ Issues running locally? Read our new GPU setup guide and Windows setup guide.
You can run interpreter
in local mode from the command line to use Code Llama
:
interpreter --local
Or run any Hugging Face model locally by using its repo ID (e.g. "tiiuae/falcon-180B"):
interpreter --model tiiuae/falcon-180B
You can easily modify the max_tokens
and context_window
(in tokens) of locally running models.
Smaller context windows will use less RAM, so we recommend trying a shorter window if GPU is failing.
interpreter --max_tokens 2000 --context_window 16000
To connect to an Azure deployment, the --use-azure
flag will walk you through setting this up:
interpreter --use-azure
In Python, set the following variables:
interpreter.use_azure = True
interpreter.api_key = "your_openai_api_key"
interpreter.azure_api_base = "your_azure_api_base"
interpreter.azure_api_version = "your_azure_api_version"
interpreter.azure_deployment_name = "your_azure_deployment_name"
interpreter.azure_api_type = "azure"
To help contributors inspect Open Interpreter, --debug
mode is highly verbose.
You can activate debug mode by using it's flag (interpreter --debug
), or mid-chat:
$ interpreter
...
> %debug true <- Turns on debug mode
> %debug false <- Turns off debug mode
In the interactive mode, you can use the below commands to enhance your experience. Here's a list of available commands:
Available Commands:
• %debug [true/false]
: Toggle debug mode. Without arguments or with 'true', it
enters debug mode. With 'false', it exits debug mode.
• %reset
: Resets the current session.
• %undo
: Remove previous messages and its response from the message history.
• %save_message [path]
: Saves messages to a specified JSON path. If no path is
provided, it defaults to 'messages.json'.
• %load_message [path]
: Loads messages from a specified JSON path. If no path
is provided, it defaults to 'messages.json'.
• %help
: Show the help message.
Feel free to try out these commands and let us know your feedback!
Open Interpreter allows you to set default behaviors using a .env file. This provides a flexible way to configure the interpreter without changing command-line arguments every time.
Here's a sample .env configuration:
INTERPRETER_CLI_AUTO_RUN=False
INTERPRETER_CLI_FAST_MODE=False
INTERPRETER_CLI_LOCAL_RUN=False
INTERPRETER_CLI_DEBUG=False
INTERPRETER_CLI_USE_AZURE=False
You can modify these values in the .env file to change the default behavior of the Open Interpreter.
Since generated code is executed in your local environment, it can interact with your files and system settings, potentially leading to unexpected outcomes like data loss or security risks.
You can run interpreter -y
or set interpreter.auto_run = True
to bypass this confirmation, in which case:
- Be cautious when requesting commands that modify files or system settings.
- Watch Open Interpreter like a self-driving car, and be prepared to end the process by closing your terminal.
- Consider running Open Interpreter in a restricted environment like Google Colab or Replit. These environments are more isolated, reducing the risks associated with executing arbitrary code.
Open Interpreter equips a function-calling language model with an exec()
function, which accepts a language
(like "Python" or "JavaScript") and code
to run.
We then stream the model's messages, code, and your system's outputs to the terminal as Markdown.
