Recently I was tinkering around with creating a Chrome extension. Not having a lot of experience with this, I did what the cool kids these days are doing: I decided to use ChatGPT for helping me write code. And don’t get me wrong, ChatGPT (or other AI tools for that matter) does a decent job of helping you create things and spot bugs. But it’s a gun that can easily backfire if you don’t know what you’re doing with it....
If you’re developing or thinking of creating an app that leverages the OpenAI API but don’t want to put down your credit card until you’re sure you have something, I have good news for you. In this article I’m going to show you how you can create a backend API which is compatiable with the OpenAI API. However, when running this API locally during development, we will use the Llama3 model running locally on your laptop....
