SDK Migration

Switch OpenAI Python SDK base URL

The OpenAI Python SDK supports custom endpoints via base_url. Switch to abliteration.ai without rewriting your application.

Your existing message format, streaming logic, and function calls work unchanged.

Definition of Switch OpenAI Python SDK base URL

Switching the OpenAI Python SDK base URL means changing one parameter to route requests through an alternative OpenAI-compatible provider.

Why Switch OpenAI Python SDK base URL matters

Keep all existing OpenAI Python SDK code unchanged.
No new dependencies or SDK migrations required.
Test alternative providers without rewriting your application.
Maintain compatibility with tools and libraries that expect OpenAI SDK patterns.

How it works

Install or update the <code>openai</code> package.
Set <code>base_url="https://api.abliteration.ai/v1"</code> in the client constructor.
Replace your OpenAI key with your abliteration.ai API key.
Use a supported model id like <code>abliterated-model</code>.

Python SDK base URL switch

from openai import OpenAI

# Before: OpenAI default
# client = OpenAI(api_key="sk-...")

# After: abliteration.ai
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": "Summarize this document."}],
)

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