Inference.net

Inference.net provides a distributed inference network for running AI models at scale.

Even though Inference.net is a built-in provider, it still requires you to bring your own key because you can’t pay for it with credits at this time.

Setup

Create an access key

Follow the quickstart to create an access key in app.ngrok.ai.

Store your Inference.net API key

Create a configuration

Create an access key configuration with an inference.net routing rule and allow Inference.net in the access scope.

Assign and send requests

Assign the configuration to your access key and send requests with your access key:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://gateway.ngrok.ai/v1",
    api_key="ng-xxxxx-g1-xxxxx",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="inference.net:meta-llama/llama-3.1-8b-instruct/fp-8",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)
