To manage the think time for ChatGPT via the OpenAI API, you can adjust the `response_timeout` option. By setting the value of `response_timeout`, you can control how long OpenAI will wait for a response from the model before giving up.
Here is an example of how to include it within the chat models:
```
openai.ChatCompletion.create(
model=“gpt-3.5-turbo”,
messages=[
{“role”: “system”, “content”: “You are a helpful assistant.”},
{“role”: “user”, “content”: “Who won the world series in 2020?”},
],
response_timeout=20,
)
```
In this example, if the API does not return a response within 20 seconds, it will stop trying and return an error instead.
Please note, the default `response_timeout` value is 30 seconds. The minimum value is 5 seconds and the maximum would almost always be 30 seconds and in specific cases slightly more.
