OpenAI Parameters

​
model
string
Specify which model to use. See the list of model here
​
messages
array
required
List of messages to send to the endpoint in the OpenAI style, each of them following this format:
{
  "role": "user", // Available choices are user, system or assistant
  "content": "Hello?"
}
Image Processing If you want to use the image processing feature, you need to use the following format to upload the image
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
  {
      "type": "text",
      "text": "What’s in this image?"
  },

      }
  }
]
}
​
max_tokens
number
Maximum number of tokens to generate in the response
​
temperature
number
default:1
Controls randomness in the output in the range of 0-2, higher temperature will a more random response.
​
n
number
default:1
Specify many completion choices to generate for each prompt.Caveat! While this can help improve generation quality by picking the optimal choice, this could also lead to more token usage.
​
stream
boolean
default:false
Whether to stream back partial progress token by token
​
logprobs
boolean
default:false
Include the log probabilities on each token being selected.
​
echo
boolean
Echo back the prompt in addition to the completion
​
stop
array[string]
Stop sequence
​
presence_penalty
number
Specify how much to penalize new tokens based on whether they appear in the text so far. Increases the model’s likelihood of talking about new topics
​
frequency_penalty
number
Specify how much to penalize new tokens based on their existing frequency in the text so far. Decreases the model’s likelihood of repeating the same line verbatim
​
logit_bias
dict
Used to modify the probability of tokens appearing in the response
​
tools
array[dict]
A list of tools the model may call. Currently, only functions are supported as a tool. Use this to provide an array of functions the model may generate JSON inputs for.

    "type": "function",
    "function": {
      "name": "get_current_weather",
      "description": "Get the current weather in a given location",

        },
        "required": ["location"]
      }
    }
  }
​
tool_choice
dict
Manually picking the choice of tool for the model to use. This will force the model to make a function call every time a function is passed in.
{
  "type": "function",
  "function": {"name": "name_of_the_function"},
}

​
models
array
Specify the list of models for the router to choose between. If not specified, all models will be used. See the list of models hereIf only one model is specified, it will be treated as if model parameter is used and the router will not trigger.
​
fallback_models
array
Specify the list of backup models (ranked by priority) to respond in case of a failure in the primary model. See the list of models here
​
customer_credentials
object
You can pass in a dictionary of your customer’s credentials and deployment variables for supported providers and use their credits when the router is calling models from those providers.

{
  "my_value_key": "my_value"
}
​
disable_log
boolean
When set to true, only the request and the performance metrics will be recorded, input and output messages will be omitted from the log.
​
exclude_models
array
default:[]
The list of models to exclude from the router’s selection. See the list of models hereThis only excludes models in the router, if model parameter will take precedence over this parameter, andfallback_models and safety net will still use the excluded models to catch failures.
​
exclude_providers
array
default:[]
The list of providers to exclude from the router’s selection. All models under the provider will be excluded. See the list of providers hereThis only excludes models in the router, if model parameter will take precedence over this parameter, andfallback_models and safety net will still use the excluded models to catch failures.

​
Deprecated Parameters

​
customer_api_keys
object
You can pass in a dictionary of your customer’s API keys for specific models. If the router selects a model that is in the dictionary, it will attempt to use the customer’s API key for calling the model before using your integration API key or Keywords AI’s default API key.
