OpenAI - Seekr

The Compatibility API allows developers to use SeekrFlow through OpenAI’s SDK. It makes it easy to switch existing OpenAI-based applications to use Seekr’s models while still maintaining the use of OpenAI SDK — no big refactors needed.

Installation

First, install the OpenAI SDK and import the package. Then, create a client and configure it with the Compatibility API base URL and your Seekr API key.

import os 
import openai

# Set the API key
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "Your OpenAI API key here"

# Create the OpenAI client and retrieve the API key.
client = openai.OpenAI( 
  base_url="https://flow.seekr.com/v1/inference", 
  api_key=os.environ.get("SEEKR_API_KEY")
)

Basic chat completions

Here’s a basic example using the Chat Completions API:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://flow.seekr.com/v1/inference",
    api_key="SEEKR_API_KEY",
)

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Write a haiku about eating cake at the gym.",
        },
    ],
)

print(completion.choices[0].message)

Chat with streaming

To stream the response, set the stream parameter to True.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://flow.seekr.com/v1/inference",
    api_key="SEEKR_API_KEY",
)

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Write a haiku about eating cake at the gym.",
        },
    ],
    stream=True,
)

for chunk in stream:
    print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="")

State management

For state management, use the messages parameter to build the conversation history. You can include a system message via the developer role and the multiple chat turns between the user and assistant.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://flow.seekr.com/v1/inference",
    api_key="SEEKR_API_KEY",
)

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Respond in the style of Russ Hanneman.",
        },
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "What does ROI mean?",
        },
        {
            "role": "assistant",
            "content": "Radio. On. Internet.",
        },
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "How did you make your first billion?",
        },
    ],
    model="meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B",
)

print(completion.choices[0].message)

Tool use (function calling)

You can utilize the tool use feature by passing a list of tools to the tools parameter in the API call. This one creates a custom unit conversion tool that can be configured dynamically.

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI( 
  base_url="https://flow.seekr.com/v1/inference", 
  api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY")
) 
  
# Send a request to the OpenAI API to leverage the specified Llama model as a unit conversion tool.  
response = client.chat.completions.create( 
  model="meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct", 
  stream=False, 
  messages=[{ 
    "role": "user", 
    "content": "Convert from 5 kilometers to miles" 
}], 
max_tokens=100, 
tools=[{ 
  "type": "function", 
  "function": { 
      "name": "convert_units", 
      "description": "Convert between different units of measurement", 
      "parameters": { 
          "type": "object", 
          "properties": { 
              "value": {"type": "number"}, 
              "from_unit": {"type": "string"}, 
              "to_unit": {"type": "string"} 

}, 

  "required": ["value", "from_unit", "to_unit"] 

} 
} 
}] 
) 

Next, register the function from JSON and run the unit conversion tool:

# Parse json and register
def register_from_json(json_obj):
   code = f"def {json_obj['name']}({', '.join(json_obj['args'])}):\n{json_obj['docstring']}\n{json_obj['code']}"
   print(code)
   namespace = {}
   exec(code, namespace)
   return namespace[json_obj["name"]]
  
# Execute our tool
def execute_tool_call(resp):
    tool_call = resp.choices[0].message.tool_calls[0]
    
    func_name = tool_call.function.name  
    args = tool_call.function.arguments
    
    func = globals().get(func_name)
    if not func:
        raise ValueError(f"Function {func_name} not found")
    
    if isinstance(args, str):
        import json
        args = json.loads(args)
    
    return func(**args)

execute_tool_call(response)
