GPT from OpenAI

I also made a custom GPT from openai's gpt store, which has similar functionalities and api calls to mempool, it can be found here https://chatgpt.com/g/g-fhvMWr0qz-btc-mempool-ai

1. Make the script executable (first time only):

   chmod +x switch_provider.sh

2. Run the script to switch providers:

   ./switch_provider.sh [openai|anthropic|ollama] [model_name]

   Example:

   ./switch_provider.sh openai gpt-4

   Or use the default model for a provider:

   ./switch_provider.sh anthropic

Environment Variables

The following environment variables can be set in your .env file:

• OPENAI_API_KEY: Your OpenAI API key
