ruby-openai VS pycall.rb

If you are using Open AI's API, this tokenizer is more accurate than the one coming with `ruby-openai` gem.

ruby-openai

If you can just interact with OpenAI api directly without langchain then that eliminates need for python. Here’s a gem for interacting with the OpenAI api : https://github.com/alexrudall/ruby-openai

There is a gem developed by Alex - https://github.com/alexrudall/ruby-openai.

I've been playing with ruby-openai, a Ruby gem (ie, library) that interfaces with the OpenAI API. I'm building myself a small movie-recommendation tool, just a personal need, as well as to teach myself how this stuff works. It's unlikely I'll ever build it into a proper app, as I'm okay with interacting in the shell and with text files, versus a web-based thing. But if there's interest, I'll push my tool up to Github.

Can use https://github.com/alexrudall/ruby-openai to do this sort of thing also :)

Added to the Ruby library here if any Rubyists interested! https://github.com/alexrudall/ruby-openai

Yeah, I know there are few libraries that do similar things: pycall.rb and rb_call, and there is also rubypython, but it's not supported and doesn't work with Python 3. I used pycall to create matplotlib charts from Ruby, it's great, and I'm gonna use part of its code, type conversion implementation, for example. But I don't think it's enough, it's like a one way bridge, I want more, I want to call Python from Ruby and Ruby from Python at the same time: create an Airfow PythonOperator, invoke Ruby code inside, store some value into XCom. What about rb_call, I don't like how it's implemented at all, it starts a separate process and serializes data using MessagePack RPC, so you can't use callbacks. It's not even possible to pass a Python object as an argument or call Ruby method that requires a block. And of course it's not effective.

I have build a rails app that uses openai gem and it's working very well. For more advanced things I am exploring Pycall: https://github.com/mrkn/pycall.rb to call python functions. Don't have any experience though.

I have use this before cool and easy also could run in heroku ()( for my case https://github.com/mrkn/pycall.rb

From docs. I was able to install matplotlib (without --pre):

We use https://github.com/mrkn/pycall.rb extensively to interface with python libraries. So far, the only problem we have is memory leaks in python, but we mitigated the problem by isolating the leaking parts in a separate process.
