LiteLLM provides native support for GradientAI models. To use a GradientAI model, specify it as gradient_ai/<model-name> in your LiteLLM requests.

API Key & Endpoint

Set your credentials and endpoint as environment variables:

import os
os.environ['GRADIENT_AI_API_KEY'] = "your-api-key"
os.environ['GRADIENT_AI_AGENT_ENDPOINT'] = "https://api.gradient_ai.com/api/v1/chat"  # default endpoint

Sample Usage

from litellm import completion
import os

os.environ['GRADIENT_AI_API_KEY'] = "your-api-key"
response = completion(
    model="gradient_ai/model-name",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, how are you?"}
    ],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Streaming Example

from litellm import completion
import os

os.environ['GRADIENT_AI_API_KEY'] = "your-api-key"
response = completion(
    model="gradient_ai/model-name",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Write a story about a robot learning to love"}
    ],
    stream=True,
)

for chunk in response:
