Exercise

Creating embeddings

In this exercise, you'll create your very first embeddings using the OpenAI API. To interact with the API, you'll need your OpenAI API key. If you haven't created one of these before, first, visit their signup page. Next, navigate to the API keys page to create your secret key. If you've lost your key, you can create a new one here, too.

OpenAI sometimes provides free credits to new users of the API, but this can differ depending on geography. You may also need to add debit/credit card details depending on geography and available credit. You'll need less than $1 credit to complete this course.

The OpenAI class from the openai library will be imported for you throughout the course. API keys used in this course's exercises will not be stored in any way.
