Hi @ebon yoke. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

OpenAI provides a variety of official and community-maintained libraries (SDKs) for interacting with its AI models, but it does not provide libraries for "teaching" or training the models from scratch—rather, these libraries are for accessing, integrating, and using OpenAI's pre-trained models via API.

Where are the coding libraries stored?

  • Official SDKs: OpenAI's official SDKs for languages like Python, JavaScript, .NET, and Java are hosted on GitHub and can be installed via standard package managers (e.g., pip for Python, npm for JavaScript). You can find links and installation instructions on the OpenAI Libraries documentation page.
  • Community Libraries: There is a curated list of community-maintained libraries for many programming languages (e.g., Rust, Swift, PHP, Ruby, etc.) on the Community Libraries page. These are also typically hosted on GitHub or similar platforms.

How do you use these libraries?

  1. Install the library: For example, in Python:
    pip install openai
  2. Set your API key: Store your OpenAI API key as an environment variable (e.g., OPENAI_API_KEY) so the library can authenticate your requests. Example for Linux/macOS:
    export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
  3. Use the library in your code: Example in Python:
    from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()
response = client.responses.create(
    model="gpt-4.1",
    input="Write a one-sentence bedtime story about a unicorn."
)
print(response.output_text)
    See more details and examples here.

Can you "teach" OpenAI new coding?

  • Training from scratch: OpenAI does not provide public tools or libraries for training its foundational models from scratch.
  • Fine-tuning: OpenAI does allow fine-tuning of certain models via the API, but this is done through API endpoints, not by modifying the library code itself.
  • Extending with tools: You can build applications, agents, or integrations using these libraries, but the underlying model weights and training are managed by OpenAI.

If you are referring to something like "Jan AI" (which is not mentioned in the knowledge sources), OpenAI's approach is to provide APIs and SDKs for using and extending the capabilities of their models, not for training new models from scratch.

For more information and a list of available libraries, visit the OpenAI Libraries documentation.

If you need resources for teaching or learning about AI, OpenAI Academy is a free learning hub for educators and developers OpenAI Academy.
