Python SDK quickstart

The OpenAI Python SDK works with abliteration.ai by setting base_url and api_key.

The request body is the same as OpenAI chat completions, including streaming support.

Quick start

Example request
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.abliteration.ai/v1",
    api_key="YOUR_ABLIT_KEY",
)

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="abliterated-model",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Give me three bullet points."}],
)

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

Service notes

  • Pricing model: Usage-based pricing (~$5 per 1M tokens) billed on total tokens (input + output). See the API pricing page for current plans.
  • Data retention: No prompt/output retention by default. Operational telemetry (token counts, timestamps, error codes) is retained for billing and reliability.
  • Compatibility: OpenAI-style /v1/chat/completions request and response format with a base URL switch.
  • Latency: Depends on model size, prompt length, and load. Streaming reduces time-to-first-token.
  • Throughput: Team plans include priority throughput. Actual throughput varies with demand.
  • Rate limits: Limits vary by plan and load. Handle 429s with backoff and respect any Retry-After header.

Common errors & fixes

  • 401 Unauthorized: Check that your API key is set and sent as a Bearer token.
  • 404 Not Found: Make sure the base URL ends with /v1 and you call /chat/completions.
  • 400 Bad Request: Verify the model id and that messages are an array of { role, content } objects.
  • 429 Rate limit: Back off and retry. Use the Retry-After header for pacing.
