The official SDK for seamless, secure integration with the OpenAI API: access GPT-4o, DALL-E 3, and Assistants directly from your application code.

This client is your direct interface to the OpenAI API, providing official SDKs for Python, Node.js/TypeScript, .NET, Java, and Go developers. It handles authentication (using your `OPENAI_API_KEY`), manages request/response serialization, and offers both synchronous and asynchronous (async/await) access for high-performance applications. Utilize the `client.responses.create` method to invoke models like GPT-4o for chat completions, generate images with DALL-E 3, or manage complex multi-step workflows via the Assistants API: it is the definitive toolkit for building on the OpenAI platform.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Model Router Using OpenAI Client](https://nyc.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_HAWYa8sZ4YA)

Switching between multiple models can be a pain, especially since each provider can implement their interface in different ways. We'll showcase our open source project called 'optimodel' that is built on top of the OpenAI SDK that allows users to manage multiple models and providers from a consistent and single interface 🚀. We've also added a bunch of cool features on top such as LLM Guards and fallback support ⚡.
