o1-mini

This documentation is valid for the following list of our models:

• o1-mini

• o1-mini-2024-09-12

Model Overview

A cost-efficient reasoning model optimized for STEM tasks (science, technology, engineering, and math), particularly excelling in mathematics and coding. It offers advanced reasoning capabilities at a fraction of the cost of its larger counterpart, o1-preview.

How to Make a Call

Step-by-Step Instructions

1️ Setup You Can’t Skip

▪️ Create an Account: Visit the AI/ML API website and create an account (if you don’t have one yet). ▪️ Generate an API Key: After logging in, navigate to your account dashboard and generate your API key. Ensure that key is enabled on UI.

2️ Copy the code example

At the bottom of this page, you'll find a code example that shows how to structure the request. Choose the code snippet in your preferred programming language and copy it into your development environment.

3️ Modify the code example

▪️ Replace <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY> with your actual AI/ML API key from your account. ▪️ Insert your question or request into the content field—this is what the model will respond to.

4️ ^_(Optional) Adjust other optional parameters if needed

Only model and messages are required parameters for this model (and we’ve already filled them in for you in the example), but you can include optional parameters if needed to adjust the model’s behavior. Below, you can find the corresponding API schema, which lists all available parameters along with notes on how to use them.

5️ Run your modified code

Run your modified code in your development environment. Response time depends on various factors, but for simple prompts it rarely exceeds a few seconds.

If you need a more detailed walkthrough for setting up your development environment and making a request step by step — feel free to use our Quickstart guide.

API Schema

Generate a conversational response using a language model.

post

Creates a chat completion using a language model, allowing interactive conversation by predicting the next response based on the given chat history. This is useful for AI-driven dialogue systems and virtual assistants.

Authorizations

Body

modelundefined · enumRequiredPossible values:

max_completion_tokensinteger · min: 1Optional

An upper bound for the number of tokens that can be generated for a completion, including visible output tokens and reasoning tokens.

Default: 512

max_tokensnumber · min: 1Optional

The maximum number of tokens that can be generated in the chat completion. This value can be used to control costs for text generated via API.

Default: 512

streambooleanOptional

If set to True, the model response data will be streamed to the client as it is generated using server-sent events.

Default: false

ninteger | nullableOptional

How many chat completion choices to generate for each input message. Note that you will be charged based on the number of generated tokens across all of the choices. Keep n as 1 to minimize costs.

seedinteger · min: 1Optional

This feature is in Beta. If specified, our system will make a best effort to sample deterministically, such that repeated requests with the same seed and parameters should return the same result.
