ZeroGPT: Revolutionary Free Alternative to ChatGPT

#python #ai #programming #opensource

Discovered a library that could change the game in AI development

🤔 What if there was a free ChatGPT with image generation?

Imagine: you're working on a project, need an AI assistant for text and image generation, but all popular solutions are either paid or have limitations. Sound familiar?

Recently, I stumbled upon ZeroGPT — a Python library that could become your new best friend in AI application development. And the coolest part — it's completely free! 🎉

🎯 What is ZeroGPT?

ZeroGPT is a Python library for interacting with AI APIs that provides:

  • ✅ Text generation using DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1 models
  • ✅ Image creation through Flux generator integration
  • ✅ Uncensored mode for more unrestricted responses
  • ✅ Deep thinking mode for complex tasks
  • ✅ Streaming data transfer for live interaction
  • ✅ Secure authentication of requests
  • ✅ Memory optimization and data handling

🛠️ Installation and Setup

Installation is as simple as it gets:

pip install zerogpt
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Installation check:

import zerogpt
print(zerogpt.__version__)  # 1.1.0
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

💻 Practical Usage Examples

1. Basic AI Interaction 

from zerogpt import Client

client = Client()

# Simple request
response = client.send_message("Hello! Tell me about quantum physics")
print(response)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. Role-based Interaction 

# Set a role for the assistant
response = client.send_message(
    "Explain a complex concept",
    instruction="You are an experienced physics teacher with 20 years of experience. Explain in simple terms."
)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. Deep Thinking Mode 

# The assistant first thinks about how to best respond
response = client.send_message(
    "Solve a complex math problem: find the derivative of function f(x) = x^3 * sin(x)",
    think=True
)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4. Uncensored Mode 

# For more unrestricted responses on complex topics
response = client.send_message(
    "Discuss a controversial topic",
    uncensored=True
)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

5. Context Management 

# Maintain conversation context
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi! How can I help you?"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Tell me about Python"}
]

response = client.send_message(messages, think=True)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

🎨 Image Generation

This is where ZeroGPT truly shines! Creating images has never been easier:

# Create an image
result = client.create_image(
    prompt="anime neko girl in cyberpunk city, detailed, high quality",
    samples=1,
    resolution=(768, 512),
    seed=-1,
    steps=50
)

# Get and save the image
image = client.get_image(result['data']['request_id'])
image.download(['my_anime_girl.png'])
image.open()  # Open for viewing
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Image Generation Parameters:

  • prompt — description of the desired image
  • samples — number of samples
  • resolution — image resolution (width, height)
  • seed — for reproducible results
  • steps — number of generation steps
  • negative_prompt — what should NOT be in the image

🧠 Advanced Features

Context Management with Dummy

For memory optimization and efficient handling of large contexts:

from zerogpt.utils.prompt import Dummy

# Create compressed context
dummy = Dummy()
dummy.create(messages=[
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi!"}
])

response = client.send_message(dummy)

# Save
dummy.save("context.bin")

# Load
dummy.load("context.bin")

# Use in requests
response = client.send_message(dummy)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Streaming Data Transfer

For creating a "live typing" effect:

# Get response in parts
for msg in client.send_message('Tell me a long story', stream=True):
    print(msg, flush=True, end='')
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

🔒 Security

ZeroGPT uses HMAC-SHA256 for request signing and ensures secure data transmission. All requests are authenticated using timestamps to prevent replay attacks.

🚀 Practical Applications

1. Chatbots and Assistants 

def create_smart_assistant():
    client = Client()

    def respond_to_user(message):
        return client.send_message(
            message,
            instruction="You are a friendly and helpful assistant",
            think=True
        )

    return respond_to_user
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. Content Generation 

def generate_blog_post(topic):
    client = Client()

    return client.send_message(
        f"Write a detailed article about {topic}",
        instruction="You are an experienced blogger. Write interestingly and structurally.",
        think=True
    )
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. Illustration Creation 

def create_illustration(description):
    client = Client()

    result = client.create_image(
        prompt=description,
        resolution=(1024, 768),
        steps=75
    )

    return client.get_image(result['data']['request_id'])
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
