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:

⚠️ Note: You'll be asked to approve code before it's run.


Demo

https://github.com/OpenInterpreter/open-interpreter/assets/63927363/37152071-680d-4423-9af3-64836a6f7b60

An interactive demo is also available on Google Colab:

Open In Colab

Along with an example voice interface, inspired by Her:

Open In Colab

Quick Start

pip install open-interpreter

Terminal

After installation, simply run interpreter:

interpreter

Python

from interpreter import interpreter

interpreter.chat("Plot AAPL and META's normalized stock prices") # Executes a single command
interpreter.chat() # Starts an interactive chat

GitHub Codespaces

Press the , key on this repository's GitHub page to create a codespace. After a moment, you'll receive a cloud virtual machine environment pre-installed with open-interpreter. You can then start interacting with it directly and freely confirm its execution of system commands without worrying about damaging the system.

Comparison to ChatGPT's Code Interpreter

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:

Open Interpreter overcomes these limitations by running in 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.

Commands

Update: The Generator Update (0.1.5) introduced streaming:

message = "What operating system are we on?"

for chunk in interpreter.chat(message, display=False, stream=True):
  print(chunk)

Interactive Chat

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()

You can also stream each chunk:

message = "What operating system are we on?"

for chunk in interpreter.chat(message, display=False, stream=True):
  print(chunk)

Programmatic 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?")

# ...

Start a New Chat

In Python, Open Interpreter remembers conversation history. If you want to start fresh, you can reset it:

interpreter.messages = []

Save and Restore Chats

interpreter.chat() returns a List of messages, which can be used to resume a conversation with interpreter.messages = messages:

messages = interpreter.chat("My name is Killian.") # Save messages to 'messages'
interpreter.messages = [] # Reset interpreter ("Killian" will be forgotten)

interpreter.messages = messages # Resume chat from 'messages' ("Killian" will be remembered)

Customize System Message

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)

Change your Language Model

Open Interpreter uses LiteLLM to connect to hosted language models.

You can change the model by setting the model parameter:

interpreter --model gpt-3.5-turbo
interpreter --model claude-2
interpreter --model command-nightly

In Python, set the model on the object:

interpreter.llm.model = "gpt-3.5-turbo"

Find the appropriate "model" string for your language model here.

Running Open Interpreter locally

Terminal

Open Interpreter can use OpenAI-compatible server to run models locally. (LM Studio, jan.ai, ollama etc)

Simply run interpreter with the api_base URL of your inference server (for LM studio it is http://localhost:1234/v1 by default):

interpreter --api_base "http://localhost:1234/v1" --api_key "fake_key"

Alternatively you can use Llamafile without installing any third party software just by running

interpreter --local

for a more detailed guide check out this video by Mike Bird

How to run LM Studio in the background.

  1. Download https://lmstudio.ai/ then start it.
  2. Select a model then click ↓ Download.
  3. Click the ↔️ button on the left (below 💬).
  4. Select your model at the top, then click Start Server.

Once the server is running, you can begin your conversation with Open Interpreter.

Note: Local mode sets your context_window to 3000, and your max_tokens to 1000. If your model has different requirements, set these parameters manually (see below).

Python

Our Python package gives you more control over each setting. To replicate and connect to LM Studio, use these settings:

from interpreter import interpreter

interpreter.offline = True # Disables online features like Open Procedures
interpreter.llm.model = "openai/x" # Tells OI to send messages in OpenAI's format
interpreter.llm.api_key = "fake_key" # LiteLLM, which we use to talk to LM Studio, requires this
interpreter.llm.api_base = "http://localhost:1234/v1" # Point this at any OpenAI compatible server

interpreter.chat()

Context Window, Max Tokens

You can modify the max_tokens and context_window (in tokens) of locally running models.

For local mode, smaller context windows will use less RAM, so we recommend trying a much shorter window (~1000) if it's failing / if it's slow. Make sure max_tokens is less than context_window.

interpreter --local --max_tokens 1000 --context_window 3000

Verbose mode

To help you inspect Open Interpreter we have a --verbose mode for debugging.

You can activate verbose mode by using its flag (interpreter --verbose), or mid-chat:

$ interpreter
...
> %verbose true <- Turns on verbose mode

> %verbose false <- Turns off verbose mode

Interactive Mode Commands

In the interactive mode, you can use the below commands to enhance your experience. Here's a list of available commands:

Available Commands:

Configuration / Profiles

Open Interpreter allows you to set default behaviors using yaml files.

This provides a flexible way to configure the interpreter without changing command-line arguments every time.

Run the following command to open the profiles directory:

interpreter --profiles

You can add yaml files there. The default profile is named default.yaml.

Multiple Profiles

Open Interpreter supports multiple yaml files, allowing you to easily switch between configurations:

interpreter --profile my_profile.yaml

Sample FastAPI Server

The generator update enables Open Interpreter to be controlled via HTTP REST endpoints:

# server.py

from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi.responses import StreamingResponse
from interpreter import interpreter

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/chat")
def chat_endpoint(message: str):
    def event_stream():
        for result in interpreter.chat(message, stream=True):
            yield f"data: {result}\n\n"

    return StreamingResponse(event_stream(), media_type="text/event-stream")

@app.get("/history")
def history_endpoint():
    return interpreter.messages
pip install fastapi uvicorn
uvicorn server:app --reload

You can also start a server identical to the one above by simply running interpreter.server().

Android

The step-by-step guide for installing Open Interpreter on your Android device can be found in the open-interpreter-termux repo.

Safety Notice

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.

⚠️ Open Interpreter will ask for user confirmation before executing code.

You can run interpreter -y or set interpreter.auto_run = True to bypass this confirmation, in which case:

There is experimental support for a safe mode to help mitigate some risks.

How Does it Work?

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.

Access Documentation Offline

The full documentation is accessible on-the-go without the need for an internet connection.

Node is a pre-requisite:

Install Mintlify:

npm i -g mintlify@latest

Change into the docs directory and run the appropriate command:

# Assuming you're at the project's root directory
cd ./docs

# Run the documentation server
mintlify dev

A new browser window should open. The documentation will be available at http://localhost:3000 as long as the documentation server is running.
