Registering Templates using the SDK

To register a template, you can use the register_template or aregister_template method from the baserun module. This method takes two arguments:
  • template: A list of messages in the template
  • template_name: The name of the template
import baserun
import openai


async def answer_question(question: str) -> str:
    # Register a template with your template string (`TEMPLATES` constant in this codebase)
    await baserun.aregister_template(TEMPLATES.get(template_name), template_name)
    # Use the template to format the prompt, then send it to OpenAI
    prompt = await baserun.format_prompt(
        template_name=template_name,
        template_messages=TEMPLATES.get(template_name),
        parameters={"question": question},
    )

    client = AsyncOpenAI()
    completion = await client.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
        messages=prompt,
    )
    return completion.choices[0].message.content
