Understanding the Available Models and Which One to Use

OpenAI Available Models and Important Considerations

Using the API’s models endpoint, you can list all available models. Let’s see how this works in practice:

cat << EOF > src/test_api.py
from api import client

models = client.models.list()
for model in models:
    print(vars(model))
EOF

Run the code:

python src/test_api.py

You should see a similar output to this:

{
    'id': 'curie-search-query', 
    'created': 1651172509, 
    'object': 'model', 
    'owned_by': 'openai-dev'
}

{
    'id': 'babbage-search-query', 
    'created': 1651172509, 
    'object': 'model', 
    'owned_by': 'openai-dev'
}

    {
    'id': 'dall-e-3', 
    'created': 1698785189, 
    'object': 'model', 
    'owned_by': 'system'
}
... etc
