OpenAI-Compatible Integration

Cerebras can also be used via an OpenAI-compatible interface, making it easy to integrate with tools and libraries that expect the OpenAI API.

Using the OpenAI-Compatible Class

The CerebrasOpenAI class provides an OpenAI-style interface for Cerebras models:

First, install openai:

pip install openai

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.cerebras import CerebrasOpenAI

agent = Agent(
    model=CerebrasOpenAI(
        id="llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct",  # Model ID to use
        # base_url="https://api.cerebras.ai", # Optional: default endpoint for Cerebras
    ),
    markdown=True,
)

# Print the response in the terminal
agent.print_response("write a two sentence horror story")
