Quick Start

TypeScript
import OpenAI from 'openai'

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY,
  baseURL: 'https://api.hanzo.ai/v1'
})

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'liquid/lfm2-8b-a1b',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }]
})

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content)
Python
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://api.hanzo.ai/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="liquid/lfm2-8b-a1b",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
