The ability to reverse engineer the source through the browser doesn't make something qualify as open source anymore than reverse engineering a binary with some other tool. I can view web requests but let's say on the 365th web request it sends my API key to an unknown location. How would I know if this was closed source?

Forgive me if I’m just being naive but couldn’t you look at the source from the browser dev tools?

Sure, if you're checking the first 365 requests or you get really lucky and just happen to look that time. Quite unlikely though.

Superpower ChatGPT is free, has a ton of features, and it doesn't need your API key. https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/11ef8ea/superpower_...

Neat, it's a browser extension which is an interesting approach. Do you know if it's open source?

I was annoyed by the default OpenAI ChatGPT slow-typing animation and logging me out every day, so I built a new UI client on top of its API. It's a static web app, you can host it yourself, data is stored locally on your browser, API requests are made directly to OpenAI API without any middle server. It has some more convenient features that make your that experience way better. Like search chat history, prompt libr…

It's a static web app, you can host it yourself Note for anybody else wondering, it's not open source, you have to download a binary. More FAQ by clicking the Gift (?) icon at the top and scrolling down.

If you're looking for an open source ChatGPT UI, I built one with React + Typescript:

why is the System Prompt reset after a few seconds!?

It is open source. Your browser retrives all the JS and html sources. Even if it were somehow closed source, it doesn't really matter. You can view web requests and other, and see for yourself.

What Just because you can see HTML and JS that THE BACKEND SENT doesn't mean you can see the actual logic (code)

This is a static website, no backend.

Just pushed a fix for this (refresh to get the update), let me know if it happens again!

It's not similar to a binary file, since re a binary file is a pain in the ass and looking at JS with some obfuscation is much easier.

Your example is valid, but it's like asking "how can I know that my iPhone doesn't record me while I'm sleeping?"
