## Use Mixtral-8X22B with Portkey

```bash icon="square-terminal" theme={"system"}
pip install -qU portkey-ai openai
```

```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, createHeaders
from google.colab import userdata
```

You will need Portkey and Together AI API keys to run this notebook.

* Sign up for Portkey and generate your API key [here](https://app.portkey.ai/)
* Get your Together AI key [here](https://api.together.xyz/settings/api-keys)

### With OpenAI Client

```python OpenAI Python icon="openai" theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI

    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        provider="together-ai",
        api_key=userdata.get('PORTKEY_API_KEY')  # replace with your Portkey API key
    )
)

chat_complete = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="mistralai/Mixtral-8x22B",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What's a fractal?"}]
)

print(chat_complete.choices[0].message.content)
```

```sh theme={"system"}

completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
    model="@together-prod/mistralai/Mixtral-8x22B",  # @provider-slug/model
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"}],
    max_tokens=250
)


```python
print(completion)
