    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-6",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What is Oxen.ai?"}],
    max_tokens=200,
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://hub.oxen.ai/api/ai",

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gemini-3-1-flash-lite-preview",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about data"}],
    stream=True,
