Why requires an OpenAI API key if it runs in a network-disabled environment?

Is this some kind of magic?

I've got a bunch of doubts atm:

  • Which model it runs?
  • Runs using GGML? EXL2?
  • Where's the source code of the model?

The agent loop is powered by a model that gets sampled over the internet, but the command execution are performed in a network disabled sandbox. Suggest to read the code to understand more on how it all works!

I think you misunderstood me.
I am stating that:
NEITHER IT RUNS LOCALLY, NOR IS IT _OPEN_.

It is just another CLI for a third-party paid platform.

I already knew that the model is closed, even if the company is called 'OpenAI', and it runs on the internet, i.e. it is drug-dependent of the net, so it didn't make any sense to make those assumptions in first place.

Have a good one.
