PHP Sussex: GPT on the Command Line

After a short break in April, we’re back in May with an exciting talk from Matt Zandstra.

Matt is a Founder and Tech Lead at GetInstance Ltd. He is also a writer and a blogger, and in his presentation Matt will show us how to interact with ChatGPT from a local terminal with PHP (details further down).

This event will be hybrid, meaning you can either join in person or online (please register for the meetup either way!):

The in-person event will take place at Pizza Pilgrims in Brighton from 6 pm. There will be food and drinks so you’re welcome to have a chat and grab a slice before the talk starts (around 6:30 pm).

Online participants can join the live stream from 6:30 pm.

Here’s how Matt introduces his talk:

“AIs and Large Language Models are everywhere right now. As a developer, I want to be able to access GPT models from my shell.

In this talk, I’ll cover the basics of getting to Hello Hal from a small PHP CLI app. I’ll look at some of the configuration options available when querying the OpenAI API. Then I’ll dig in to a few simple techniques for managing premise and context in order to get the most out of your queries.”

Hope to see you there and then!
