How to Use via LLM Resayil API

Getting started with Gemma 3 12B is designed to be frictionless. The LLM Resayil API is compatible with standard OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs, meaning you likely do not need to learn a new library. Below are the quickest ways to make your first API call.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have your API Key from the LLM Resayil dashboard. You will also need Python installed with the openai or anthropic package, or simply cURL for command-line testing.

Python Example (OpenAI SDK)

This is the recommended method for most chat applications. Note the specific base_url configuration required to route traffic through the Resayil gateway.

from openai import OpenAI

# Initialize the client with Resayil's endpoint
client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://llmapi.resayil.io/v1/"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gemma-3-12b",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant specialized in Arabic and English technical support."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Explain the benefits of using a 128k context window for RAG applications."}
    ],
    temperature=0.7,
    max_tokens=1024
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Python Example (Anthropic SDK)

For developers who prefer the Anthropic SDK structure, particularly for models that utilize "thinking" or specific chat optimizations, Resayil provides full compatibility.

from anthropic import Anthropic

# Initialize Anthropic client pointing to Resayil
client = Anthropic(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://llmapi.resayil.io/v1"
)

message = client.messages.create(
    model="gemma-3-12b",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[
