Portkey SDK Integration with SambaNova Models

​
1. Install the Portkey SDK

Add the Portkey SDK to your application to interact with SambaNova’s API through Portkey’s gateway. 
npm install --save portkey-ai

​
2. Initialize Portkey with the Virtual Key

import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

const portkey = new Portkey({
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
    virtualKey: "VIRTUAL_KEY" // Your SambaNova Virtual Key
})

​
3. Invoke Chat Completions

Use the Portkey instance to send requests to the SambaNova API. You can also override the virtual key directly in the API call if needed. 
const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
    model: 'Meta-Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct',
});
console.log(chatCompletion.choices);

​
Managing SambaNova Prompts

You can manage all prompts to SambaNova models in the Prompt Library. All the current models of SambaNova are supported and you can easily start testing different prompts. Once you’re ready with your prompt, you can use the portkey.prompts.completions.create interface to use the prompt in your application. The complete list of supported models are available here:
