Method 1: Integrate with Code (Recommended for Developers)

If you're a developer, the fastest way to get started is by using the OpenAI SDK or any framework that supports OpenAI-compatible APIs.

OpenLLM is fully compatible with the OpenAI API specification, so no additional adaptation is required.

Python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="YOUR_BASE_URL"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5.5",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Hello"
        }
    ]
)

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

Node.js

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  baseURL: "YOUR_BASE_URL"
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-5.5",
  messages: [
    {
      role: "user",
      content: "Hello"
    }
  ]
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

cURL

curl -X POST "YOUR_BASE_URL/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-5.5",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
