02 / setup
Quick start with an OpenAI-compatible SDK
Most compatible providers use the OpenAI SDK shape. Replace the base URL and API key, then use the model ID listed in the provider documentation.
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.groq.com/openai/v1",
api_key="YOUR_PROVIDER_KEY",
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="openai/gpt-oss-20b",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)Do not copy a model ID or quota from a different provider. The official source link in each row is the authority.
