ModelsLab Chat/LLM Generation

Send chat completions to 60+ LLM models through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

When to Use This Skill

• Chat with AI models (DeepSeek, Llama, Gemini, Qwen, Mistral)
• Build conversational AI applications
• Generate text completions with system prompts
• Use function/tool calling with LLMs
• Stream responses for real-time output
• Get structured JSON responses

API Endpoint

Chat Completions: POST https://modelslab.com/api/v7/llm/chat/completions

The endpoint follows the OpenAI chat completions format, making it easy to switch from OpenAI or use the OpenAI SDK.

Quick Start

import requests

def chat(message, api_key, model="meta-llama-3-8B-instruct"):
    """Send a chat completion request.

    Args:
        message: The user message
        api_key: Your ModelsLab API key
        model: LLM model ID (use modelslab models search --feature llmaster to find models)
    """
    response = requests.post(
        "https://modelslab.com/api/v7/llm/chat/completions",
        json={
            "key": api_key,
            "model_id": model,
            "messages": [
                {"role": "user", "content": message}
            ],
            "max_tokens": 200,
            "temperature": 0.7
        }
    )

    data = response.json()

    if "choices" in data:
        return data["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
    else:
        raise Exception(f"Error: {data.get('message', 'Unknown error')}")

# Usage
reply = chat(
    "Explain quantum computing in simple terms.",
    "your_api_key"
)
print(reply)

With System Prompt

def chat_with_system(system_prompt, message, api_key, model="meta-llama-3-8B-instruct"):
    """Chat with a system prompt for role/behavior control."""
    response = requests.post(
        "https://modelslab.com/api/v7/llm/chat/completions",
        json={
            "key": api_key,
            "model_id": model,
            "messages": [
                {"role": "system", "content": system_prompt},
                {"role": "user", "content": message}
            ],
            "max_tokens": 500,
            "temperature": 0.7
        }
    )

    data = response.json()
    if "choices" in data:
        return data["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]

# Usage
reply = chat_with_system(
    "You are a Python expert. Give concise code examples.",
    "How do I read a CSV file?",
    "your_api_key"
)

Multi-Turn Conversation

def conversation(messages, api_key, model="meta-llama-3-8B-instruct"):
    """Send a multi-turn conversation."""
    response = requests.post(
        "https://modelslab.com/api/v7/llm/chat/completions",
        json={
            "key": api_key,
            "model_id": model,
            "messages": messages,
            "max_tokens": 500,
            "temperature": 0.7
        }
    )
    return response.json()

# Multi-turn example
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "What is Python?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Python is a high-level programming language..."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Show me a hello world example."}
]

result = conversation(messages, "your_api_key")
print(result["choices"][0]["message"]["content"])

OpenAI SDK Compatibility

You can use the official OpenAI Python SDK by changing the base URL and API key:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://modelslab.com/api/v7/llm",
    api_key="your_modelslab_api_key"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="meta-llama-3-8B-instruct",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
    ],
    max_tokens=100,
    temperature=0.7
)

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

cURL Example

curl -X POST "https://modelslab.com/api/v7/llm/chat/completions" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "key": "your_api_key",
    "model_id": "meta-llama-3-8B-instruct",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Say hello in one sentence."}
    ],
    "max_tokens": 50,
    "temperature": 0.7
  }'
