# llama-index-program-openai — llama-index program openai integration

License: permissive · Maintenance: aging · Downloads: 2.7M/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package provides a LlamaIndex integration layer for OpenAI-based program synthesis. It sits atop three core dependencies: llama-index-core, llama-index-llms-openai, and llama-index-agent-openai. The package is designed for developers building AI applications that need to synthesize executable code or structured logic from natural language prompts using OpenAI models.

The integration is lightweight—distributed as a pure-Python wheel—and requires Python 3.9 or later. However, the package has not been updated in 441 days, marking it as aging. While it carries no known vulnerabilities and uses a permissive MIT license, the staleness of the release cycle suggests you should verify that its dependencies remain compatible with your target OpenAI API versions and LlamaIndex ecosystem versions before committing to production use.

Use it for:

- Generate executable code from natural language descriptions using OpenAI models within a LlamaIndex application.
- Build AI agents that synthesize and run programs on-the-fly in response to user queries.
- Integrate program generation into retrieval-augmented generation pipelines.
- Create workflows where OpenAI models produce code executed in a controlled LlamaIndex context.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Integrates OpenAI-powered program synthesis with LlamaIndex, enabling structured code generation through OpenAI's language models.

Yes, with conditions. Install if you are already committed to the LlamaIndex ecosystem and need OpenAI-powered program synthesis. The low install friction and MIT license are favorable. However, the 441-day gap since the last release is a significant concern—verify that the three runtime dependencies are current and compatible with your OpenAI API version before deploying to production.

## Install

pip install llama-index-program-openai
uv add llama-index-program-openai
poetry add llama-index-program-openai

## Installing llama-index-program-openai

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel. Maintenance status is aging—last release was 441 days ago—so expect slower bug fixes and feature updates.

License in practice: MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution with minimal legal friction.

Quickstart:

pip install llama-index-program-openai

from llama_index_program_openai import OpenAIProgramSynthesizer

synthesizer = OpenAIProgramSynthesizer()

Requires Python 3.9 or later and active OpenAI API credentials.

Verify before relying:

- Whether this package is actively maintained or in maintenance-only mode beyond the aging signal.
- Specific OpenAI API versions or models this integration targets and whether they remain current.
- Whether the three runtime dependencies remain actively maintained and compatible.
