Call the Together AI OpenAI-compatible inference API from Python with model switching

domain: docs.together.ai · 6 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Install the OpenAI Python client: pip install openai
  2. Instantiate the client pointed at Together: client = openai.OpenAI(api_key=YOUR_TOKEN, base_url='https://api.together.xyz/v1')
  3. Call client.chat.completions.create(model='<together-model-id>', messages=[...]) — use any model ID from the Together model catalog
  4. Switch models by changing only the model string — no other client code changes are needed
  5. For structured output, pass response_format={'type': 'json_object'} on models that support it
  6. Async batch workloads: use the async OpenAI client (AsyncOpenAI) with asyncio.gather() to run concurrent requests
