# Together AI Install & Auth
## Overview
Together AI provides an OpenAI-compatible API for open-source model inference and fine-tuning. Base URL: `https://api.together.xyz/v1`. Works with the official `together` Python SDK or any OpenAI-compatible client.
## Prerequisites
- Together AI account at [api.together.xyz](https://api.together.xyz)
- API key from Settings > API Keys
- Python 3.8+ or Node.js 18+
## Instructions
### Step 1: Install SDK
```bash
# Python (official)
pip install together
# Node.js (use OpenAI SDK with custom base URL)
npm install openai
```
### Step 2: Configure API Key
```bash
# .env
TOGETHER_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
```
### Step 3: Verify Connection (Python)
```python
from together import Together
client = Together(api_key=os.environ["TOGETHER_API_KEY"])
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-Turbo",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello"}],
max_tokens=10,
)
print(f"Connected! Response: {response.choices[0].message.content}")
```
### Step 4: Verify with OpenAI Client (Node.js)
```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.TOGETHER_API_KEY,
baseURL: 'https://api.together.xyz/v1',
});
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: 'meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-Turbo',
messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say hello' }],
max_tokens: 10,
});
console.log(`Connected! ${response.choices[0].message.content}`);
```
### Step 5: List Available Models
```python
models = client.models.list()
for m in models.data[:5]:
print(f"{m.id} ({m.type})")
```
## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `401 Unauthorized` | Invalid API key | Check key at api.together.xyz |
| `Model not found` | Wrong model ID | Use `client.models.list()` to verify |
| `ModuleNotFoundError` | SDK not installed | `pip install together` |
| `429 Too Many Requests` | Rate limit | Back off and retry |
