LLUMO Compressor API with OpenAI
Save cost in OpenAI API calls using LLUMO compressor API
Setting up the environment
Importing libraries:
- os: This module provides a way to use operating system dependent functionality, like reading environment variables.
- OpenAI: This is the official OpenAI Python client, used to interact with OpenAI’s API.
- requests: A popular library for making HTTP requests in Python.
- json: Used for parsing JSON data, which is common in API responses.
- logging: Provides a flexible framework for generating log messages in Python.
- getpass: Allows secure password prompts where the input is not displayed on the screen.
Setting up logging:
- We use
logging.basicConfig()
to configure the logging system. Thelevel=logging.INFO
argument sets the threshold for logging messages to INFO level and above. - We create a logger object named logger that we’ll use throughout our script to log important information and errors.
This setup ensures we have all necessary tools to interact with APIs, handle data, and track any issues that might occur during execution.
Secure API key handling
Secure API key input:
- We use
getpass()
to prompt the user for their API keys. This function hides the input, making it more secure than using regular input(). - This approach is safer than hardcoding API keys in your script, which could accidentally be shared or exposed.
Setting environment variables:
- We use
os.environ
to set environment variables for both API keys. - Environment variables are a secure way to store sensitive information, as they’re not part of your code and are only accessible within the current process.
Initializing the OpenAI client:
- We create an instance of the OpenAI client using the API key we just set.
- Using
os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
retrieves the API key from the environment variables.
This method ensures that your API keys are handled securely and are readily available for use in your script.
Define Llumo compression function
Function definition:
- We define a function
compress_with_llumo
that takes a text input and an optional topic.
API setup:
- We retrieve the Llumo API key from environment variables.
- We set the API endpoint and prepare headers for the HTTP request.
Payload preparation:
- We create a payload dictionary with the input text.
- If a topic is provided, we add it to the payload.
API request:
- We use
requests.post()
to send a POST request to the Llumo API.response.raise_for_status()
will raise an exception for HTTP errors.
Response parsing:
- We parse the JSON response and extract the compressed text and token counts.
- We calculate the compression percentage.
Error handling:
-
We use a try-except block to catch potential errors:
-
JSON decoding errors
-
Request exceptions
-
Unexpected response structure
-
If an error occurs, we log it and return the original text with failure indicators.
Return values:
-
The function returns a tuple containing:
-
Compressed text (or original if compression failed)
-
Success boolean
-
Compression percentage
-
Initial token count
-
Final token count
This function encapsulates the entire process of interacting with the Llumo API for text compression, including error handling and result processing.
Define example prompt and test without compression
Defining the prompt:
- We create a detailed prompt about photosynthesis. This serves as our example text for compression.
Testing without compression:
-
We use the OpenAI client to send a request to the GPT-3.5-turbo model.
-
The messages parameter follows the chat format:
-
A system message sets the AI’s role.
-
A user message contains our prompt.
Displaying results:
- We print the AI’s response to the prompt.
- We also print the total number of tokens used, which is important for understanding API usage and costs.
This cell demonstrates how the API would typically be used without any compression, providing a baseline for comparison.
Test with Llumo compression
Applying Llumo compression:
- We call compress_with_llumo() with our example prompt.
- The function returns multiple values, which we unpack into separate variables.
Checking compression success:
- We use an if statement to check if compression was successful.
- If successful, we print compression statistics: percentage, initial and final token counts.
Using the compressed prompt:
- If compression succeeded, we use the compressed prompt in our API call to GPT-3.5-turbo.
- We use the same message structure as before, but with the compressed prompt.
Displaying results:
- We print the AI’s response to the compressed prompt.
- We print the number of tokens used with the compressed prompt.
Handling compression failure:
- If compression fails, we print a message indicating this.
- In a real application, you might want to fall back to using the original prompt in this case.
This cell demonstrates the full process of compressing a prompt with Llumo and using it with the OpenAI API. By comparing the results and token usage with the previous cell, you can see the potential benefits of using Llumo compression in terms of token efficiency and cost savings.
