Can we integrate GPT-4 with a simple flask API to generate a description for an image sent?

just want to create an API that takes an image and gives out a json description in the format:

{
   "status" : "200",
   "description" : "a discription of the image in 50 words"
}

I tried asking this from chatgpt itself but it says here that we have to implement our own function or some other tool to generate a descriotion. all this code does is use an already existing description(gives out a description from a text input) what i need is to have it generate a description from image like the chat GPT-4 does when its given an image.

Any ML or image procecing way to achieve this would be fantastic 🙂

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import openai

app = Flask(__name__)

# Set your OpenAI API key here
openai.api_key = 'your-openai-api-key'

@app.route('/generate_description', methods=['POST'])
def generate_description():
    # Check if the request contains a file
    if 'file' not in request.files:
        return jsonify({'error': 'No file part'}), 400

    file = request.files['file']

    # Process the file (you may need to save it temporarily, depending on your requirements)
    # Here, we assume 'process_image' is a function to handle image processing
    image_description = process_image(file)

    # Use GPT-4 to generate a description based on the image
    try:
        response = openai.Completion.create(
            engine="text-davinci-002",  # Use the appropriate GPT-4 engine
            prompt=f"Describe the following image: {image_description}",
            max_tokens=50  # Adjust the maximum number of tokens as needed
        )
        generated_description = response.choices[0].text.strip()
    except Exception as e:
        return jsonify({'error': str(e)}), 500

    return jsonify({'description': generated_description})

def process_image(file):
    # Placeholder for image processing logic
    # You may need to use an image recognition tool or library for this step
    # Return a string representing the processed image description
    return 'a processed image description'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

  • Please read about minimal reproducible example. Do you really need folks who know flask or could you remove those aspects and improve the odds of getting an answer by actually making a minimal example without flask?
