https://gpt-index.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how_to/integrations/chatgpt_plugins.html#chatgpt-retrieval-plugin-index

I followed the example in the article above and it says that ChatGPTRetrievalPluginIndex is not found.

Has ChatGPTRetrievalPluginIndex been removed?

Yea I'm seeing this problem too - looking the repository the file doesn't exist as well.

I'm seeing this problem too. ChatGPTRetrievalPluginIndex has been probably removed, but document is still existing here https://github.com/jerryjliu/llama_index/blob/main/docs/community/integrations/chatgpt_plugins.md#chatgpt-retrieval-plugin-index.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out. The ChatGPTRetrievalPluginIndex has not been removed from the LlamaIndex. The import issue might be due to a different problem.

You should be able to import the ChatGPTRetrievalPluginIndex from the llama_index.indices.vector_store module. Here is the correct way to import it:

from llama_index.indices.vector_store import ChatGPTRetrievalPluginIndex

If you're still having issues, please ensure that your PYTHONPATH is set correctly and that the LlamaIndex package is properly installed.

In a similar issue, a user was unable to import the VectorStoreIndex class from the llama_index.indices.vector_store.base module. The solution was to modify the import statement to correctly reference the class from the module, ensure there is no file or folder named llama_index in your current working directory, and if the issue persists, try a clean reinstall or create a fresh virtual environment. You can do this by running:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install llama-index

Also, check the path on which llama-index is getting installed to ensure it is accessible by your current access. You can use sys.path to figure this out.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions or if the issue persists, please let me know.

Best,
Dosu
