## OpenAI

To use OpenAI LLM models, you have to set the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable. You can obtain the OpenAI API key from the [OpenAI Platform](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys).

Once you have obtained the key, you can use it like this:

```python
import os
from embedchain import Pipeline as App

os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'xxx'

app = App()
app.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI")
app.query("What is OpenAI?")
```

If you are looking to configure the different parameters of the LLM, you can do so by loading the app using a [yaml config](https://github.com/embedchain/embedchain/blob/main/configs/chroma.yaml) file.

<CodeGroup>

```python main.py
import os
from embedchain import Pipeline as App

os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'xxx'

# load llm configuration from config.yaml file
app = App.from_config(config_path="config.yaml")
```

```yaml config.yaml
llm:
  provider: openai
  config:
    model: 'gpt-3.5-turbo'
    temperature: 0.5
    max_tokens: 1000
    top_p: 1
    stream: false
```

</CodeGroup>

## Google AI

To use Google AI model, you have to set the `GOOGLE_API_KEY` environment variable. You can obtain the Google API key from the [Google Maker Suite](https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey)

<CodeGroup>
```python main.py
import os
from embedchain import Pipeline as App

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-xxxx"
os.environ["GOOGLE_API_KEY"] = "xxx"

app = App.from_config(config_path="config.yaml")

app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")

response = app.query("What is the net worth of Elon Musk?")
if app.llm.config.stream: # if stream is enabled, response is a generator
    for chunk in response:
        print(chunk)
else:
    print(response)
```

```yaml config.yaml
llm:
  provider: google
  config:
    model: gemini-pro
    max_tokens: 1000
    temperature: 0.5
    top_p: 1
    stream: false
```
</CodeGroup>

## Azure OpenAI

To use Azure OpenAI model, you have to set some of the azure openai related environment variables as given in the code block below:

<CodeGroup>

```python main.py
import os
from embedchain import Pipeline as App

os.environ["OPENAI_API_TYPE"] = "azure"
os.environ["OPENAI_API_BASE"] = "https://xxx.openai.azure.com/"
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "xxx"
os.environ["OPENAI_API_VERSION"] = "xxx"

app = App.from_config(config_path="config.yaml")
```

```yaml config.yaml
llm:
  provider: azure_openai
  config:
    model: gpt-35-turbo
    deployment_name: your_llm_deployment_name
    temperature: 0.5
    max_tokens: 1000
    top_p: 1
    stream: false

embedder:
  provider: azure_openai
  config:
    model: text-embedding-ada-002
    deployment_name: you_embedding_model_deployment_name
```
</CodeGroup>

You can find the list of models and deployment name on the [Azure OpenAI Platform](https://oai.azure.com/portal).

os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"] = "xxx"

# load llm configuration from config.yaml file
app = App.from_config(config_path="config.yaml")
```

```yaml config.yaml
llm:
  provider: anthropic
  config:
    model: 'claude-instant-1'
