## Description

This project provides a self-hosted reverse proxy that forwards requests to ChatGPT's gpt-3.5-turbo model, accepting the same request format and authentication pattern as the official OpenAI API. It functions as a drop-in replacement, allowing any library or tool built for the OpenAI API to work without code changes.

The proxy delivers model output incrementally to clients as it is generated, enabling real-time streaming responses. It processes each request independently without storing session state, and uses environment variables or configuration files to determine the upstream API URL and authentication tokens at startup.

The project includes Docker Compose configuration for running the proxy alongside third-party chat web interfaces like BetterChatGPT and LobeChat as a unified stack.
