AsyncSambaNova

✓ from sambanova import AsyncSambaNova

Initialize the sync client with an API key (env var recommended) and call chat completions.

from sambanova import SambaNovaClient client = SambaNovaClient( api_key=os.environ.get('SAMBANOVA_API_KEY', ''), ) try: response = client.chat.completions.create( model='Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct', messages=[{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Hello'}], ) print(response.choices[0].message.content) except Exception as e: print(f'Error: {e}')

Debug

Known issues

breakingAPI key must be set either via environment variable SAMBANOVA_API_KEY or passed directly. The library will raise an authentication error if missing.

fix

Set os.environ['SAMBANOVA_API_KEY'] or pass api_key argument to SambaNovaClient().

affects: all

gotchaThe model name must match SambaNova's model IDs exactly (e.g., 'Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct', 'Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct'). Using a generic OpenAI model name will fail.

fix

Refer to SambaNova documentation for exact model IDs.

affects: all

deprecatedSupport for Python 3.8 was dropped after version 1.5.0. The library now requires Python >=3.9.

fix

Upgrade Python to 3.9 or higher.

affects: >=1.6.0
