OpenAI Messages API

From OpenAI to Open LLMs with Messages API on Hugging Face

Hugging Face's Text Generation Inference (TGI) now supports an OpenAI-compatible Messages API, enabling developers to switch from OpenAI models to open-weight LLMs with minimal code changes. The integration allows existing OpenAI SDK users to point their client at Hugging Face endpoints by changing only the base URL and model name. This lowers the migration barrier for teams wanting to self-host or use open models while retaining familiar tooling.
