# GPT4All Python API
The `GPT4All` package provides Python bindings and an API to our C/C++ model backend libraries.
The source code, README, and local build instructions can be found [here](https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all/tree/main/gpt4all-bindings/python).

pip install gpt4all
```
In Python, run the following commands to retrieve a GPT4All model and generate a response
to a prompt.
=== "GPT4All Example"
``` py
from gpt4all import GPT4All
model = GPT4All("orca-mini-3b.ggmlv3.q4_0.bin")
output = model.generate("The capital of France is ", max_tokens=3)
print(output)
```
=== "Output"
```
1. Paris
```
**Download Note:**
By default, models are stored in `~/.cache/gpt4all/` (you can change this with `model_path`). If the file already exists, model download will be skipped.
### Chatting with GPT4All
Local LLMs can be optimized for chat conversions by reusing previous computational history.
```python
import gpt4all
gptj = gpt4all.GPT4All("ggml-gpt4all-j-v1.3-groovy")
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Name 3 colors"}]
gptj.chat_completion(messages)
```
Use the GPT4All `chat_session` context manager to hold chat conversations with the model.

[Google Colab Tutorial](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1QRFHV5lj1Kb7_tGZZGZ-E6BfX6izpeMI?usp=sharing)
=== "GPT4All Example"
``` py
model = GPT4All(model_name='orca-mini-3b.ggmlv3.q4_0.bin')
with model.chat_session():
response = model.generate(prompt='hello', top_k=1)
response = model.generate(prompt='write me a short poem', top_k=1)
response = model.generate(prompt='thank you', top_k=1)
print(model.current_chat_session)
```
=== "Output"
``` json
[
{
'role': 'user',
'content': 'hello'
},
{
'role': 'assistant',
'content': 'What is your name?'
},
{
'role': 'user',
'content': 'write me a short poem'
},
{
'role': 'assistant',
'content': "I would love to help you with that! Here's a short poem I came up with:\nBeneath the autumn leaves,\nThe wind whispers through the trees.\nA gentle breeze, so at ease,\nAs if it were born to play.\nAnd as the sun sets in the sky,\nThe world around us grows still."
},
{
'role': 'user',
'content': 'thank you'
},
{
'role': 'assistant',
'content': "You're welcome! I hope this poem was helpful or inspiring for you. Let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with."
}
]
```
## Supported Models
Python bindings support the following ggml architectures: `gptj`, `llama`, `mpt`. See API reference for more details.
When using GPT4All models in the chat_session context:
## Best Practices
- The model is given a prompt template which makes it chatty.
- Internal K/V caches are preserved from previous conversation history speeding up inference.
There are two methods to interface with the underlying language model, `chat_completion()` and `generate()`. Chat completion formats a user-provided message dictionary into a prompt template (see API documentation for more details and options). This will usually produce much better results and is the approach we recommend. You may also prompt the model with `generate()` which will just pass the raw input string to the model.
## API Reference
### Generation Parameters
::: gpt4all.gpt4all.GPT4All.generate
### Streaming Generations
To interact with GPT4All responses as the model generates, use the `streaming = True` flag during generation.
=== "GPT4All Example"
``` py
from gpt4all import GPT4All
model = GPT4All("orca-mini-3b.ggmlv3.q4_0.bin")
tokens = []
for token in model.generate("The capital of France is", max_tokens=20, streaming=True):
tokens.append(token)
print(tokens)
```
=== "Output"
```
[' Paris', ' is', ' a', ' city', ' that', ' has', ' been', ' a', ' major', ' cultural', ' and', ' economic', ' center', ' for', ' over', ' ', '2', ',', '0', '0']
```
