πŸš€ It's now easier than ever to switch from OpenAI to open LLMs

Hugging Face's TGI now supports an OpenAI compatible Chat Completion API

This means you can transition code that uses OpenAI client libraries (or frameworks like LangChain 🦜 and LlamaIndex πŸ¦™) to run open models by changing just two lines of code πŸ€—

⭐ Here's how:
from openai import OpenAI

# initialize the client but point it to TGI
client = OpenAI(
    base_url="<ENDPOINT_URL>" + "/v1/",  # replace with your endpoint url
    api_key="<HF_API_TOKEN>",  # replace with your token
)
chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="tgi",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Why is open-source software important?"},
    ],
    stream=True,
    max_tokens=500
)

# iterate and print stream
for message in chat_completion:
    print(message.choices[0].delta.content, end="")
