BurmeseGPT

BurmeseGPT is an open Burmese-first AI ecosystem created by Dr. Wai Yan Nyein Naing. This Python package is the main package for BurmeseGPT projects, including Padauk, a practical agentic small language model built for Burmese language understanding, tool use, function calling, and local or edge deployment.

Why BurmeseGPT

Burmese is still a low-resource language in AI, and practical Burmese AI tooling remains limited for many real developer workflows. BurmeseGPT focuses on useful, production-minded, and developer-friendly Burmese AI systems that can run locally and integrate with modern agent and API patterns.

End-User Install And Use

This section is the simple user flow only: install, download, run, and test the local API.

Requirements:

• Python >=3.10
• Internet access for PyPI and the model download
• burmesegpt will bootstrap a compatible standalone llama-server automatically on first serve

python3.10 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install "burmesegpt[full]"

If python3.10 is not installed, use python3.11:

python3.11 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install "burmesegpt[full]"

See docs/guides/pypi-install-quickstart.md for the same copy-paste flow.

Download Model And Run API

burmesegpt download --quant q8_0
burmesegpt serve --quant q8_0 --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000

Keep that terminal running while you test requests.

Test With API Call (curl)

curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/models

curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-no-key-required" \
  -d '{
    "model": "padauk-agent",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "မင်္ဂလာပါ"}]
  }'

Test With OpenAI Agents SDK

python -m pip install openai-agents

import asyncio

from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from agents import Agent, Runner, set_default_openai_api, set_default_openai_client, set_tracing_disabled

set_tracing_disabled(True)
set_default_openai_api("chat_completions")
set_default_openai_client(
    AsyncOpenAI(base_url="http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1", api_key="sk-no-key-required")
)

padauk = Agent(
    name="Padauk Assistant",
    model="padauk-agent",
    instructions="Reply in Burmese by default.",
)

async def main() -> None:
    result = await Runner.run(padauk, input="မင်္ဂလာပါ")
    print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
