Example in Python

Let's start from very beginning. We assume you already installed Python (with venv), if not, here a guide for the beginners.

Create a new folder for test project, name it as aimlapi-welcome and change to it.

mkdir ./aimlapi-welcome
 cd ./aimlapi-welcome

(Optional) If you use IDE then we recommend to open created folder as workspace. On example, in VSCode you can do it with:

code .

Run a terminal inside created folder and create virtual envorinment with a command

python3 -m venv ./.venv

Activate created virtual environment

# Linux / Mac
 source ./.venv/bin/activate
 # Windows
 ./.venv/bin/Activate.bat

Install requirement dependencies. In our case we need only OpenAI SDK

pip install openai


Create new file and name it as travel.py

touch travel.py

Paste following content inside this travel.py and replace my_key with your API key you got on first step

from openai import OpenAI
 
base_url = "<https://api.aimlapi.com/v1>"
 api_key = "my_key"
 system_prompt = "You are a travel agent. Be descriptive and helpful."
 user_prompt = "Tell me about San Francisco"
 
api = OpenAI(api_key=api_key, base_url=base_url)
 
def main():
    completion = api.chat.completions.create(
        model="mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2",
        messages=[
            {"role": "system", "content": system_prompt},
            {"role": "user", "content": user_prompt},
        ],
        temperature=0.7,
        max_tokens=256,
    )
 
    response = completion.choices[0].message.content
 
    print("User:", user_prompt)
    print("AI:", response)
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Run the application

python3 ./travel.py

If you done all correct, you will see following output:

User: Tell me about San Francisco
