SambaNova

SambaNova serves large language models through an OpenAI-compatible API. Supported models can use function calling.

agent = Agent(model=Sambanova(id="Meta-Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct"), markdown=True)
# Print the response in the terminal
agent.print_response("Share a 2 sentence horror story.")
