Tree of Thoughts in Python

This is the companion code repository for my blog post on implementing a Tree of Thoughts in Python.

Introduction

In this tutorial, I will walk through the implementation of a Tree of Thoughts in Python. The Tree of Thoughts is a conceptual framework that helps in exploring and evolving ideas systematically. I will use the Anthropic API to generate responses and build our tree.

Setup

To get started, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone git@github.com:stephenc222/example-tree-of-thoughts-prompting.git
   cd example-tree-of-thoughts-prompting

2. Set up your environment variables:

   • Create a .env file in the root directory of the project.

   • Add your Anthropic API key to the .env file:

     ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip3 install python-dotenv anthropic

Usage

To run the Tree of Thoughts implementation, execute the following command:

python3 app.py
