Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

IBM

✓ from llama_index.llms.ibm import IBM

✗ from llama_index.llms.ibm import IBM

Minimal example using WatsonxLLM. Set WATSONX_APIKEY and WATSONX_PROJECT_ID environment variables.

import os from llama_index.llms.ibm import WatsonxLLM api_key = os.environ.get('WATSONX_APIKEY', '') project_id = os.environ.get('WATSONX_PROJECT_ID', '') llm = WatsonxLLM( model_id='meta-llama/llama-3-70b-instruct', api_key=api_key, project_id=project_id, ) response = llm.complete('What is the capital of France?') print(response.text)

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn v0.7.0, the import path changed from `llama_index.llms.ibm` to requiring specific submodule imports. Old `from llama_index.llms.ibm import IBM` no longer works; use `from llama_index.llms.ibm import WatsonxLLM`.

fix

Update imports to use WatsonxLLM class and correct path.

affects: >=0.7.0

breakingThe `model_id` parameter is now required and defaults removed. Previously optional models may fail if not explicitly provided.

fix

Always specify `model_id` when creating WatsonxLLM instance.

affects: >=0.7.0

gotchaIBM watsonx.ai credentials must be passed via environment variables (WATSONX_APIKEY, WATSONX_PROJECT_ID) or constructor arguments. Passing only API key without project ID raises a missing credentials error.

fix

Ensure both WATSONX_APIKEY and WATSONX_PROJECT_ID are set.

affects: all

deprecatedThe `IBM` class alias is deprecated in v0.7.0 and will be removed in a future release. Use `WatsonxLLM` instead.

fix

Replace `IBM` with `WatsonxLLM`.

affects: >=0.7.0
