Given a list of messages forming a conversation, the model generates a response.
See available models at this pricing table.
To successfully run an inference request, it is mandatory to enter a Friendli Token (e.g. flp_XXX) value in the Bearer Token field. Refer to the authentication section on our introduction page to learn how to acquire this variable and visit here to generate your token.
Authorizations
When using Friendli Endpoints API for inference requests, you need to provide a Friendli Token for authentication and authorization purposes.
For more detailed information, please refer here.
Headers
ID of team to run requests as (optional parameter).
Body
Code of the model to use. See available model list.
A list of messages comprising the conversation so far.
Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalizes tokens that have been sampled, taking into account their frequency in the preceding text. This penalization diminishes the model's tendency to reproduce identical lines verbatim.
Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalizes tokens that have been sampled at least once in the existing text.
Penalizes tokens that have already appeared in the generated result (plus the input tokens for decoder-only models). Should be greater than or equal to 1.0 (1.0 means no penalty). See keskar et al., 2019 for more details. This is similar to Hugging Face's repetition_penalty argument.
The maximum number of tokens to generate. For decoder-only models like GPT, the length of your input tokens plus max_tokens should not exceed the model's maximum length (e.g., 2048 for OpenAI GPT-3). For encoder-decoder models like T5 or BlenderBot, max_tokens should not exceed the model's maximum output length. This is similar to Hugging Face's max_new_tokens argument.
The minimum number of tokens to generate. Default value is 0. This is similar to Hugging Face's min_new_tokens argument.
This field is unsupported when tools are specified.
The number of independently generated results for the prompt. Not supported when using beam search. Defaults to 1. This is similar to Hugging Face's num_return_sequences argument.
When one of the stop phrases appears in the generation result, the API will stop generation. The stop phrases are excluded from the result. Defaults to empty list.
Whether to stream generation result. When set true, each token will be sent as server-sent events once generated.
Options related to stream.
It can only be used when stream: true.
Sampling temperature. Smaller temperature makes the generation result closer to greedy, argmax (i.e., top_k = 1) sampling. Defaults to 1.0. This is similar to Hugging Face's temperature argument.
Tokens comprising the top top_p probability mass are kept for sampling. Numbers between 0.0 (exclusive) and 1.0 (inclusive) are allowed. Defaults to 1.0. This is similar to Hugging Face's top_p argument.
The number of highest probability tokens to keep for sampling. Numbers between 0 and the vocab size of the model (both inclusive) are allowed. The default value is 0, which means that the API does not apply top-k filtering. This is similar to Hugging Face's top_k argument.
Request timeout. Gives the HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response status code. Default behavior is no timeout.
Seed to control random procedure. If nothing is given, random seed is used for sampling, and return the seed along with the generated result. When using the n argument, you can pass a list of seed values to control all of the independent generations.
A list of endpoint sentence tokens.
A list of tools the model may call. Currently, only functions are supported as a tool. A maximum of 128 functions is supported. Use this to provide a list of functions the model may generate JSON inputs for.
When tools are specified, min_tokens field is unsupported.
Determines the tool calling behavior of the model.
When set to none, the model will bypass tool execution and generate a response directly.
In auto mode (the default), the model dynamically decides whether to call a tool or respond with a message.
Alternatively, setting required ensures that the model invokes at least one tool before responding to the user.
You can also specify a particular tool by {"type": "function", "function": {"name": "my_function"}}.
Whether to enable parallel function calling.
The enforced format of the model's output.
Note that the content of the output message may be truncated if it exceeds the max_tokens.
You can check this by verifying that the finish_reason of the output message is length.
Important
You must explicitly instruct the model to produce the desired output format using a system prompt or user message (e.g., You are an API generating a valid JSON as output.).
Otherwise, the model may result in an unending stream of whitespace or other characters.
Response
The Unix timestamp (in seconds) for when the generation completed.
