​
OpenAI compatibility

Forii matches the OpenAI API format exactly. Every existing tutorial, framework, and SDK works by changing two lines: 
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.forii.in/inference/v1",  # ← change this
    api_key=os.environ["FORII_API_KEY"],            # ← and this
)

# Everything else is identical to OpenAI
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="forii/deepseek-v3",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
