Is it possible to customize openai's api address?

[moeik]

I would like to customize the api address of openai because I can't use the services of openai directly in my location. I'm going to use nginx to proxy openai's api address, and then change the request address to my proxy api address

Yes, you can pass in your own OpenAI client object where you specify the endpoint.

class MyVanna(ChromaDB_VectorStore, OpenAI_Chat):
    def __init__(self, config=None):
        ChromaDB_VectorStore.__init__(self, config=config)
        OpenAI_Chat.__init__(self, client=YOUR_OPENAI_CLIENT, config=config) # Make sure to put your AzureOpenAI client here

vn = MyVanna(config={'model': 'gpt-4-...'})

Alternatively, you can set your OPENAI_BASE_URL environment variable
