24 alternatives to Simple OpenAI Playground Clone

Hey HN! I love the OpenAI Playground UI but I don't love the Auth0 implementation causing me to waste precious minutes entering 2FA codes... so I spent a week cloning the basic features of the OpenAI Playground UI, all in a single HTML file. You can try it on github pages[0] or run it locally in your browser. Just paste your API key and hit start to begin using it. You can also add your key to the URI fragment[1] and bookmark it to start immediately. [0] https://minwidth0px.github.io/gpt-playground [1] like https://minwidth0px.github.io/gpt-playground#API_KEY

Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Simple OpenAI Playground Clone launched in 2023; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    I was frustrated that open ai's playground lacks function calls, so I wrote my own more similar to ChatGpt! Now I can: * use the same models I program against * have access to function calls * can see how much it's costing me Side benefit: I can share my API key with a friend so they can use Gpt3.5 & 4 as open ai took their deposit but still labelled their account as free tier - mistakes happen. Prerequisite: an open ai api key https://github.com/acover288/playgpt Use at your own risk as I blindly installed npm packages.

    Hey everyone, We have been building SecureAI Tools -- an open-source application layer for ChatGPT and ChatPDF-like AI tools. It works with locally running LLMs as well as with OpenAI-compatible APIs. For local LLMs, it supports Ollama which supports all the gguf/ggml models. Currently, it has two features: Chat-with-LLM, and Chat-with-PDFs. It is optimized for self-hosting use cases and comes with basic user management features. Here are some quick demos: * Chat with documents using OpenAI's GPT3.5 model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br2D3G9O47s * Chat with documents…

    Hey, Jared Palmer (creator of this playground) here. Really excited to ship this. I’ve been building this over the past few weeks to compare LLMs from different providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc. At Vercel, I manage our Frameworks division (including Next.js, Svelte, and Turbo) and wanted to also dogfood some of the latest features in a slightly larger application. This playground takes a lot of inspiration from https://nat.dev and is built on Tailwind, ui.shadcn.com, and some upcoming Vercel products we’re announcing soon. We’re going to continue adding models to…

    Hey HN, I am proud to show you guys that I have built an open source alternative to Azure OpenAI services. Azure OpenAI services was born out of companies needing enhanced security and access control for using different GPT models. I want to build an OSS version of Azure OpenAI services that people could self host in their own infrastructure. "How can I track LLM spend per API key?" "Can I create a development OpenAI API key with limited access for Bob?" "Can I see my LLM spend breakdown by models and endpoints?"

    We build AI agents to find vulnerabilities in other AI agents. The playground started as an internal tool that we used to test our own offensive agent Nyx. But we realised that hacking an AI is about have as wide a distribution of attacks as possible, especially those which aren't in the distribution of the models. So we are launching playground as a platform to crowdsource agent jailbreaks. And although hacking AI is super fun and we are sure people will do it for free, we want to reward those who help us push forward the offensive frontier of AI. So we are committing $100K in prizes over…

    Hey everyone, I'm Petr. I'm excited to share LangTale Playground (https://langtale.ai/playground), a first-of-its-kind tool enabling anyone to experiment with OpenAI function calls without coding. Born out of a hackathon project, it's now a part of our broader LangTale platform aimed at tackling common developer challenges with Language Learning Models (LLM). These include prompt integration, testing and debugging, version control, auditing, and usage/cost management. Here's our tech stack: Next.js by Vercel, Tailwind CSS, OpenAI, PlanetScale's Vitess database, and the…

    Hello HN, I’ve always loved building frontend-only apps—those you can prototype over a weekend, host for free on GitHub Pages, and scale to millions of users. Unfortunately, AI-enabled apps complicate things, as exposing your OpenAI key to the world is obviously a no-go. This also means mobile developers often have to run their own servers. That’s why I built ServerlessAI, an API gateway that lets you securely call multiple AI providers directly from client side using OpenAI-compatible APIs. You can authenticate users through any identity provider, like Google or Apple, and set per-user…

If you’d like to learn more about how this came together, read on. If you’re like me, you’ve probably been wondering what novel things a model like this can do in an API setting with unfettered access to the system prompt and other parameters. I’ve been fortunate to have had early access through my work at LiveKit, where we’ve built open-source developer tooling that makes deploying this model in a production…
