MindsDB lets you create models that utilize features provided by OpenAI GPT-3.
How to Bring the OpenAI Model to MindsDB
We use the CREATE MODEL statement to bring the OpenAI models to MindsDB.
Let’s go through the available operation modes.
Please note that the examples presented here use SQL. To see how to create OpenAI models in Mongo database using MQL, check out this example on sentiment classification.
Operation Mode 1: Answering Questions without Context
Here is how to create a model that answers questions without context:
CREATE MODEL project_a.openai_test_a
PREDICT answer
USING
engine = 'openai',
question_column = 'question',
model_name = 'model_name'
api_key = 'YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY';
Where:
| Expression | Description |
|---|---|
project_a.openai_test_a | The model name is openai_test_a and it resides inside the project_a project. Learn more about MindsDB projects here. |
answer | It is the value to be predicted. |
engine | The openai engine is used. |
question_column | It is the column that stores input data. |
model_name | Optional. By default, the text-davinci-002 model is used. If you prefer to use a cheaper model or a model that was fine-tuned outside of MindsDB, use this parameter. |
api_key | Optional. If it is left blank, or the env value is passed, then MindsDB fetches the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable value. |
Let’s look at an example.
CREATE MODEL project_a.openai_test_a
PREDICT answer
USING
engine = 'openai',
question_column = 'question';
On execution, we get:
Query successfully completed
Now we can query for answers.
SELECT question, answer
FROM project_a.openai_test_a
WHERE question = 'Where is Stockholm located?';
On execution, we get:
+---------------------------+-------------------------------+
|question |answer |
+---------------------------+-------------------------------+
|Where is Stockholm located?|Stockholm is located in Sweden.|
+---------------------------+-------------------------------+
Operation Mode 2: Answering Questions with Context
Here is how to create a model that answers questions with context:
CREATE MODEL project_a.openai_test_b
PREDICT answer
USING
engine = 'openai',
question_column = 'question',
context_column = 'context',
api_key = 'YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY';
Where:
| Expression | Description |
|---|---|
project_a.openai_test_b | The model name is openai_test_b and it resides inside the project_a project. |
answer | It is the value to be predicted. |
engine | The openai engine is used. |
question_column | It is the column that stores input data being a question. |
context_column | It is the column that stores input data being a context. |
api_key | Optional. If it is left blank, or the env value is passed, then MindsDB fetches the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable value. |
Let’s look at an example.
CREATE MODEL project_a.openai_test_b
PREDICT answer
USING
engine = 'openai',
question_column = 'question',
context_column = 'context';
On execution, we get:
Query successfully completed
Now we can query for answers.
SELECT context, question, answer
FROM project_a.openai_test_b
WHERE context = 'Answer with a joke'
AND question = 'How to cook soup?';
On execution, we get:
+-------------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
|context |question |answer |
+-------------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
|Answer with a joke |How to cook soup? |How do you cook soup? You put it in a pot and heat it up!|
+-------------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
Operation Mode 3: Prompt Completion
Here is how to create a model that offers the most flexible mode of operation. It answers any query provided in the prompt_template parameter.
Good prompts are the key to getting great completions out of large language models like the ones that OpenAI offers. For best performance, we recommend you read their prompting guide before trying your hand at prompt templating.
CREATE MODEL project_a.openai_test_c
PREDICT answer
USING
engine = 'openai',
prompt_template = 'input your query here',
max_tokens = 100,
temperature = 0.3,
api_key = 'YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY';
Where:
| Expression | Description |
|---|---|
project_a.openai_test_c | The model name is openai_test_c and it resides inside the project_a project. |
answer | It is the value to be predicted. |
engine | The openai engine is used. |
prompt_template | It is the column that stores a query to be answered. Please note that this parameter can be overriden at prediction time. |
max_tokens | It defines the maximum token cost of the prediction. Please note that this parameter can be overriden at prediction time. |
temperature | It defines how risky the answers are. The value of 0 marks a well-defined answer, and the value of 0.9 marks a more creative answer. Please note that this parameter can be overriden at prediction time. |
api_key | Optional. If it is left blank, or the env value is passed, then MindsDB fetches the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable value. |
Let’s create a model:
CREATE MODEL project_a.openai_test_c
PREDICT answer
USING
engine = 'openai',
prompt_template = 'Context: {{context}}. Question: {{question}}. Answer:',
max_tokens = 100,
temperature = 0.3;
Let’s look at an example that uses parameters provided at model creation time.
SELECT context, question, answer
FROM project_a.openai_test_c
WHERE context = 'Answer accurately'
AND question = 'How many planets exist in the solar system?';
On execution, we get:
+-------------------+-------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
|context |question |answer |
+-------------------+-------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
|Answer accurately |How many planets exist in the solar system?| There are eight planets in the solar system. |
+-------------------+-------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
Now let’s look at an example that overrides parameters at prediction time.
SELECT instruction, answer
FROM project_a.openai_test_c
WHERE instruction = 'Speculate extensively'
USING
prompt_template = '{{instruction}}. What does Tom Hanks like?',
max_tokens = 100,
temperature = 0.5;
On execution, we get:
+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|instruction |answer |
+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Speculate extensively |Some people speculate that Tom Hanks likes to play golf, while others believe that he enjoys acting and directing. It is also speculated that he likes to spend time with his family and friends, and that he enjoys traveling.|
+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Example
Let’s go through a sentiment classification example to understand better how to bring OpenAI models to MindsDB as AI tables.
CREATE MODEL mindsdb.sentiment_classifier
PREDICT sentiment
USING
engine = 'openai',
prompt_template = 'predict the sentiment of the text:{{review}} exactly as either positive or negative or neutral';
On execution, we get:
Query successfully completed
Where:
| Expressions | Values |
|---|---|
project_name | mindsdb |
predictor_name | sentiment_classifier |
target_column | sentiment |
engine | openai |
prompt_template | predict the sentiment of the text:{{review}} exactly as either positive or negative or neutral |
In the prompt_template parameter, we use a placeholder for a text value that comes from the review column, that is, text:{{review}}.
Before querying for predictions, we should verify the status of the sentiment_classifier model.
SELECT *
FROM mindsdb.models
WHERE name = 'sentiment_classifier';
On execution, we get:
+--------------------+------+-------+-------+--------+--------+---------+-------------+---------------+------+-----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+
|NAME |ENGINE|PROJECT|VERSION|STATUS |ACCURACY|PREDICT |UPDATE_STATUS|MINDSDB_VERSION|ERROR |SELECT_DATA_QUERY|TRAINING_OPTIONS |TAG |
+--------------------+------+-------+-------+--------+--------+---------+-------------+---------------+------+-----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+
|sentiment_classifier|openai|mindsdb|1 |complete|[NULL] |sentiment|up_to_date |22.12.4.3 |[NULL]|[NULL] |{'target': 'sentiment', 'using': {'prompt_template': 'predict the sentiment of the text:{{review}} exactly as either positive or negative or neutral'}}|[NULL] |
+--------------------+------+-------+-------+--------+--------+---------+-------------+---------------+------+-----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+
Once the status is complete, we can query for predictions.
SELECT output.sentiment, input.review
FROM example_db.demo_data.amazon_reviews AS input
JOIN mindsdb.sentiment_classifier AS output
LIMIT 3;
Don’t forget to create the example_db database before using one of its tables, like in the query above.
CREATE DATABASE example_db
WITH ENGINE = "postgres",
PARAMETERS = {
"user": "demo_user",
"password": "demo_password",
"host": "3.220.66.106",
"port": "5432",
"database": "demo"
};
On execution, we get:
+----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| sentiment | review |
+----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| positive | Late gift for my grandson. He is very happy with it. Easy for him (9yo ). |
| The sentiment of the text is positive. | I'm not super thrilled with the proprietary OS on this unit, but it does work okay and does what I need it to do. Appearance is very nice, price is very good and I can't complain too much - just wish it were easier (or at least more obvious) to port new apps onto it. For now, it helps me see things that are too small on my phone while I'm traveling. I'm a happy buyer.|
| positive | I purchased this Kindle Fire HD 8 was purchased for use by 5 and 8 yer old grandchildren. They basically use it to play Amazon games that you download. |
