Synchronous Client

import os
from aleph_alpha_client import Client, CompletionRequest, Prompt

client = Client(
    token=os.environ["TEST_TOKEN"],
    host=os.environ["TEST_API_URL"],
)
request = CompletionRequest(
    prompt=Prompt.from_text("Provide a short description of AI:"),
    maximum_tokens=64,
)
response = client.complete(request, model="pharia-1-llm-7b-control")

print(response.completions[0].completion)

Asynchronous Client

import os
from aleph_alpha_client import AsyncClient, CompletionRequest, Prompt
