Explanation of list parameters

secretKey is the OpenAI key. Since the OpenAI API charges based on tokens (number of words), if you input the entire paper, it may consume a large number of tokens. Therefore, it is recommended to use a key worth $120.
-

The model is used to set the dialogue model of GPT, which is set to gpt-3.5-turbo by default. This model supports a context length of 4k. However, for processing papers, this length may not be enough and may result in the following error.
