● Open Interpreter

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.

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

Demo

Open.Interpreter.Demo.mp4

An interactive demo is also available on Google Colab:

Quick Start

pip install open-interpreter

Terminal

After installation, simply run interpreter:

interpreter

Python

import interpreter

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

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:

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.

Commands

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()

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.reset()

Save and Restore Chats

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)

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 the Model

You can run interpreter in local mode from the command line to use Code Llama:

interpreter --local

For gpt-3.5-turbo, use fast mode:

interpreter --fast

Or, in Python, set the model manually:

interpreter.model = "gpt-3.5-turbo"

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:

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.

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.
