This was the full question, for which I got the answer from Perplexity:

  1. asked perplexity: how can i install gpt4o on my desktop mac
  2. asked gpt-4o: an you please tell me, go online if you have to, if I run all these steps Cloning the repo Installing python dependencies via pip3 install -r requirements.txt Setting OpenAI API key Running python3 gpt4o.py would I still not be able to run the gpt4o app? 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9

this was gpt4os full response:

To determine whether you would be able to run the GPT-4o app on your machine after following the provided steps, let’s break down each step and the requirements:

Steps:

  1. Cloning the repo:
  • This involves using a command like git clone <repo_url> to copy the repository to your local machine. This step typically doesn’t have any system-specific requirements beyond having Git installed.
  1. Installing Python dependencies via pip3 install -r requirements.txt:
  • This step installs all the necessary Python packages listed in the requirements.txt file. To ensure this works smoothly, you need to have Python 3 and pip3 installed on your machine.
  1. Setting the OpenAI API key:
  • This involves setting an environment variable for your OpenAI API key. Typically, you can do this by running export OPENAI_API_KEY='your_api_key' in your terminal.
  1. Running python3 gpt4o.py:
  • This runs the main Python script for the application.

Hardware and Software Requirements:

  • Processor: 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 should be more than sufficient for running most Python applications, including those utilizing GPT-4o.
  • Memory: Ensure you have sufficient RAM (at least 8 GB, preferably 16 GB or more) to handle any data-intensive operations that might be part of the script.
  • Python Version: Ensure you have Python 3.x installed. You can check this by running python3 --version in your terminal.
  • Dependencies: All required dependencies should be listed in requirements.txt. Running pip3 install -r requirements.txt will install them, but ensure your system has internet access to fetch these packages.

Possible Issues:

  • Compatibility: Some dependencies might have specific system requirements or compatibility issues. Ensure you are using compatible versions of Python and the required packages.
  • Environment Variables: Make sure the OpenAI API key is correctly set in your environment variables.
  • Additional Configuration: Some scripts might require additional configuration or environment setup beyond the basic steps listed.

Conclusion:

Based on your hardware (2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9), you should be able to run the GPT-4o app, provided all dependencies are installed correctly and your Python environment is properly configured. If you encounter any issues, they are likely to be related to specific dependencies or environment configurations rather than hardware limitations.

re-asking because the official response in another thread was that it’s due to the chips having stuff that is needed, however gpt4o says it’s not hardware related… so maybe the other answer is not quite specific enough, hence this sanity check. I am fully ready to sell 2 perfectly good intel macs to get 1 silicone mac, just wanna know if it’s really necessary, and if it’s indeed software related, sounds like a challenge to see if I can build my own patches
