Multi-Turn Chat

The Chat API is fully based on LMDeploy. You can refer to the LMDeploy documentation for private deployment of the same API.

🚀 News

Intern-S1 Released: Intern-S1 is a state-of-the-art open-source multimodal model built on a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, with enhanced scientific reasoning capabilities. It currently delivers the best overall performance among open-source models.

To use this model via the ChatAPI, set the model field to intern-s1. By default, the model operates in standard (non-deep-thinking) mode.
You can enable deep thinking by setting the optional thinking_mode field (boolean) to true when using the intern-s1 model.

Rate Limit

API Rate Limit: By default, each user is limited to 30 requests per minute. If you require a higher request limit, you can apply for an upgraded rate limit configuration at Rate Limiting Policy.

Request Examples

Currently, the Intern ChatAPI is compatible with some methods of the OpenAI Python SDK, and more adaptations are in progress... We still recommend using native Python requests or curl requests to access the Intern API.

For users opting to use the OpenAI SDK, please install it first:

pip install openai

Parameter Explanation

The API sets a timeout for the model call. If the model has not completed its output within 120 seconds, the output will be interrupted and the current result returned.

Request Parameters Explanation

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
model	string	intern-latest	Name of the model being called
messages	array	LLM: [{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]Multi-modal Model: Please refer to the below "image-text messages"	Conversation history and current query. The role (user/assistant/system/tool) is supported. "role": "system" is not supported for internthinker-beta model
thinking_mode	optional，boolean	True	This field is only effective when the `model` is set to `intern-s1`. It controls whether the model responds in deep thinking mode. When `thinking_mode` is enabled, setting a `system` message is not allowed.
tools	Optional, array	See tools example below	An array of functions available for the model to call. Based on this array, the model will respond with the corresponding function's JSON object.
tool_choice	Optional, string or object	{"type": "function", "function": {"name": "my_function"}}	Options: none (forces no function call), auto (automatic function call), required (must call a function), or provide a specific function object that must be called.
temperature	Optional, float	0.8	Sampling temperature
top_p	Optional, float	0.9	The probability threshold for candidate tokens
max_tokens	Optional, int	100	The maximum number of tokens for the output. Default 0 adjusts to the maximum allowed length
stream	Optional, bool	true	Stream incremental results. Does not support streaming with tool calls.
