Cerebras
LLM service implementation using Cerebras’s API with OpenAI-compatible interface
Overview
CerebrasLLMService
provides access to Cerebras’s language models through an OpenAI-compatible interface. It inherits from OpenAILLMService
and supports streaming responses, function calling, and context management.
Installation
To use CerebrasLLMService
, install the required dependencies:
You’ll need to set up your Cerebras API key as an environment variable: CEREBRAS_API_KEY
Configuration
Constructor Parameters
Your Cerebras API key
Model identifier
Cerebras API endpoint
Input Parameters
Inherits OpenAI-compatible parameters:
Maximum number of tokens to generate. Must be greater than or equal to 1
Random seed for deterministic generation. Must be greater than or equal to 0
Controls randomness in the output. Range: [0.0, 1.5]
Controls diversity via nucleus sampling. Range: [0.0, 1.0]
Usage Example
Methods
See the LLM base class methods for additional functionality.
Function Calling
This service supports function calling (also known as tool calling) which allows the LLM to request information from external services and APIs. For example, you can enable your bot to:
- Check current weather conditions
- Query databases
- Access external APIs
- Perform custom actions
Function Calling Guide
Learn how to implement function calling with standardized schemas, register handlers, manage context properly, and control execution flow in your conversational AI applications.
Available Models
Cerebras provides access to these models:
Model Name | Description |
---|---|
llama3.1-8b | Llama 3.1 8B model |
llama3.1-70b | Llama 3.1 70B model |
llama-3.3-70b | Llama 3.3 70B model |
Frame Flow
Inherits the OpenAI LLM Service frame flow:
Metrics Support
The service collects standard LLM metrics:
- Token usage (prompt and completion)
- Processing duration
- Time to First Byte (TTFB)
- Function call metrics
Notes
- OpenAI-compatible interface
- Supports streaming responses
- Handles function calling
- Manages conversation context
- Thread-safe processing
- Automatic error handling
