⚡ Better AI Predictions

Foresight is served behind an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so any OpenAI client works — just point base_url at Lightning Rod.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    base_url="https://api.lightningrod.ai/v1/openai",
)

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="foresight-v4",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Will the Fed cut rates at its next meeting?"},
    ],
    extra_body={"research": True}, # Auto research the most relevant prediction context
)

print(completion.choices[0].message.content)

See the forecasting guides for how to write good forecasting prompts.

Prefer an SDK helper?

lr.predict() wraps the same API and parses the structured answer for you:

pip install lightningrod-ai

import lightningrod as lr

client = lr.LightningRod(api_key="your-api-key")
result = client.predict(
    "Will the Fed cut interest rates in 2026?",
    answer_type="binary",
    research=True,
)
print(result.binary.probability)
