Delphi OpenAI API

This repositorty contains Delphi implementation over OpenAI public API.
❗This is an unofficial library. OpenAI does not provide any official library for Delphi.
Compatibility
Also, the library is compatible with the following AI APIs (tested):
- OpenAI Azure
- DeepSeek
- YandexGPT
- Qwen
- GigaChat
and other compatible with the OpenAI API.

</details>What is OpenAI
OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence research organization founded in San Francisco, California in 2015. It was created with the purpose of advancing digital intelligence in ways that benefit humanity as a whole and promote societal progress. The organization strives to develop AI (Artificial Intelligence) programs and systems that can think, act and adapt quickly on their own – autonomously. OpenAI's mission is to ensure safe and responsible use of AI for civic good, economic growth and other public benefits; this includes cutting-edge research into important topics such as general AI safety, natural language processing, applied reinforcement learning methods, machine vision algorithms etc.
The OpenAI API can be applied to virtually any task that involves understanding or generating natural language or code. We offer a spectrum of models with different levels of power suitable for different tasks, as well as the ability to fine-tune your own custom models. These models can be used for everything from content generation to semantic search and classification.
This library provides access to the API of the OpenAI service, on the basis of which ChatGPT works and, for example, the generation of images from text using DALL-E.
Installation
You can install the package from GetIt directly in the IDE. Or, to use the library, just add the root folder to the IDE library path, or your project source path.
Usage
Initialization
To initialize API instance you need to obtain API token from your Open AI organization.
Once you have a token, you can initialize TOpenAI class, which is an entry point to the API.
Due to the fact that there can be many parameters and not all of them are required, they are configured using an anonymous function.
uses OpenAI;
var OpenAI := TOpenAIComponent.Create(Self, API_TOKEN);
or
uses OpenAI;
var OpenAI: IOpenAI := TOpenAI.Create(API_TOKEN);
Once token you posses the token, and the instance is initialized you are ready to make requests.
Models
List and describe the various models available in the API. You can refer to the Models documentation to understand what models are available and the differences between them.
var Models := OpenAI.Model.List();
try
for var Model in Models.Data do
MemoChat.Lines.Add(Model.Id);
finally
Models.Free;
end;
Review Models Documentation for more info.
Completions
Given a prompt, the model will return one or more predicted completions, and can also return the probabilities of alternative tokens at each position.
var Completions := OpenAI.Completion.Create(
procedure(Params: TCompletionParams)
begin
Params.Prompt(MemoPrompt.Text);
Params.MaxTokens(2048);
end);
try
for var Choice in Completions.Choices do
MemoChat.Lines.Add(Choice.Index.ToString + ' ' + Choice.Text);
finally
Completions.Free;
end;
Review Completions Documentation for more info.
Chats
Given a chat conversation, the model will return a chat completion response. ChatGPT is powered by gpt-3.5-turbo, OpenAI’s most advanced language model.
Using the OpenAI API, you can build your own applications with gpt-3.5-turbo to do things like:
- Draft an email or other piece of writing
- Write Python code
- Answer questions about a set of documents
- Create conversational agents
- Give your software a natural language interface
- Tutor in a range of subjects
- Translate languages
- Simulate characters for video games and much more
This guide explains how to make an API call for chat-based language models and shares tips for getting good results.
var Chat := OpenAI.Chat.Create(
procedure(Params: TChatParams)
begin
Params.Messages([TChatMessageBuild.Create(TMessageRole.User, Text)]);
Params.MaxTokens(1024);
end);
try
for var Choice in Chat.Choices do
MemoChat.Lines.Add(Choice.Message.Content);
finally
Chat.Free;
end;
Stream mode
OpenAI.Chat.CreateStream(
procedure(Params: TChatParams)
begin
Params.Messages([TchatMessageBuild.User(Buf.Text)]);
Params.MaxTokens(1024);
Params.Stream;
end,
procedure(Chat: TChat; IsDone: Boolean; var Cancel: Boolean)
begin
if (not IsDone) and Assigned(Chat) then
Writeln(Chat.Choices[0].Delta.Content)
else if IsDone then
Writeln('DONE!');
Writeln('-------');
Sleep(100);
end);
Vision
var Chat := OpenAI.Chat.Create(
procedure(Params: TChatParams)
begin
Params.Model('gpt-4-vision-preview');
var Content: TArray<TMessageContent>;
Content := Content + [TMessageContent.CreateText(Text)];
Content := Content + [TMessageContent.CreateImage(FileToBase64('file path'))];
Params.Messages([TChatMessageBuild.User(Content)]);
Params.MaxTokens(1024);
end);
try
for var Choice in Chat.Choices do
MemoChat.Lines.Add(Choice.Message.Content);
finally
Chat.Free;
end;
Review Chat Documentation for more info.
Images
Given a prompt and/or an input image, the model will generate a new image.
var Images := OpenAI.Image.Create(
procedure(Params: TImageCreateParams)
begin
Params.Prompt(MemoPrompt.Text);
Params.ResponseFormat('url');
end);
try
for var Image in Images.Data do
Image1.Bitmap.LoadFromUrl(Image.Url);
finally
Images.Free;
end;
Review Images Documentation for more info.
Function Calling
In an API call, you can describe functions to gpt-3.5-turbo-0613 and gpt-4-0613, and have the model intelligently choose to output a JSON object containing arguments to call those functions. The Chat Completions API does not call the function; instead, the model generates JSON that you can use to call the function in your code.
The latest models (gpt-3.5-turbo-0613 and gpt-4-0613) have been fine-tuned to both detect when a function should to be called (depending on the input) and to respond with JSON that adheres to the function signature. With this capability also comes potential risks. We strongly recommend building in user confirmation flows before taking actions that impact the world on behalf of users (sending an email, posting something online, making a purchase, etc).
var Chat := OpenAI.Chat.Create(
procedure(Params: TChatParams)
begin
Params.Functions(Funcs); //list of functions (TArray<IChatFunction>)
Params.FunctionCall(TFunctionCall.Auto);
Params.Messages([TChatMessageBuild.User(Text)]);
Params.MaxTokens(1024);
end);
try
for var Choice in Chat.Choices do
if Choice.FinishReason = TFinishReason.FunctionCall then
ProcFunction(Choice.Message.FunctionCall) // execute function (send result to chat, and continue)
else
MemoChat.Lines.Add(Choice.Message.Content);
finally
Chat.Free;
end;
...
procedure ProcFunction(Func: TChatFunctionCall);
begin
var FuncResult := Execute(Func.Name, Func.Arguments); //execute function and get result (json)
var Chat := OpenAI.Chat.Create(
procedure(Params: TChatParams)
begin
Params.Functions(Funcs); //list of functions (TArray<IChatFunction>)
Params.FunctionCall(TFunctionCall.Auto);
Params.Messages([ //need all history
TChatMessageBuild.User(Text),
TChatMessageBuild.NewAsistantFunc(Func.Name, Func.Arguments),
TChatMessageBuild.Func(FuncResult, Func.Name)]);
Params.MaxTokens(1024);
end);
try
for var Choice in Chat.Choices do
MemoChat.Lines.Add(Choice.Message.Content);
finally
Chat.Free;
end;
end;
