FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'OAI_CONFIG_LIST'

[mwarqee]

I am using the following example - https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/blob/0.2/notebook/agentchat_society_of_mind.ipynb in VS Code.

When executing :

import autogen # noqa: E402

llm_config = {
    "timeout": 600,
    "cache_seed": 44,  # change the seed for different trials
    "config_list": autogen.config_list_from_json(
        "OAI_CONFIG_LIST",
        filter_dict={"model": ["gpt-4", "gpt-4-0613", "gpt-4-32k", "gpt-4-32k-0613", "gpt-4-1106-preview"]},
    ),
    "temperature": 0,
}

I receive an error

is this a bug, or what advice do you have on solving this?

Do you have a file or envvar called OAI_CONFIG_LIST? https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/0.2/docs/topics/llm_configuration/
