SambaNova
tip
We support ALL Sambanova models, just set model=sambanova/<any-model-on-sambanova> as a prefix when sending litellm requests. For the complete supported model list, visit https://docs.sambanova.ai/cloud/docs/get-started/supported-models
API Key​
# env variable

Usage with LiteLLM Proxy Server​
Here's how to call a Sambanova model with the LiteLLM Proxy Server
Modify the config.yaml
model_list:
- model_name: my-model
litellm_params:
model: sambanova/<your-model-name> # add sambanova/ prefix to route as Sambanova provider
api_key: api-key # api key to send your model
Start the proxy
$ litellm --config /path/to/config.yamlSend Request to LiteLLM Proxy Server
- OpenAI Python v1.0.0+
- curl
import openai
client = openai.OpenAI(
api_key="sk-1234", # pass litellm proxy key, if you're using virtual keys
base_url="http://0.0.0.0:4000" # litellm-proxy-base url
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="my-model",
messages = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "what llm are you"
}
],
)
print(response)curl --location 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/chat/completions' \
