Code Examples

Install
pip install openai
API key
FIREWORKS_API_KEY
Model ID
mixtral-8x7b

Fireworks model IDs use "accounts/fireworks/models/{model-name}" format, e.g. "accounts/fireworks/models/llama4-scout-instruct-basic" or "accounts/fireworks/models/deepseek-r1".

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["FIREWORKS_API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1"
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="mixtral-8x7b",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
