CompactifAI.Client
A .NET 8 client library for the CompactifAI API. Easily integrate AI chat completions, text completions, and audio transcription into your .NET applications.
Installation
dotnet add package CompactifAI.Client
Quick Start
Simple Usage (without DI)
using CompactifAI.Client;
// Create client with API key
var client = new CompactifAIClient("your-api-key");
// Simple chat
var response = await client.ChatAsync("What is the capital of France?");
Console.WriteLine(response);
// Output: The capital of France is Paris.
// Chat with system prompt
var response = await client.ChatAsync(
message: "Explain quantum computing",
systemPrompt: "You are a helpful teacher. Explain concepts simply.",
model: CompactifAIModels.DeepSeekR1_Slim);
Dependency Injection (ASP.NET Core)
appsettings.json:
{
"CompactifAI": {
"ApiKey": "your-api-key",
"DefaultModel": "cai-llama-3-1-8b-slim"
}
}
Program.cs:
using CompactifAI.Client.Extensions;
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
// Option 1: From configuration
builder.Services.AddCompactifAI(builder.Configuration);
// Option 2: With API key directly
builder.Services.AddCompactifAI("your-api-key");
// Option 3: With full configuration
builder.Services.AddCompactifAI(options =>
{
options.ApiKey = "your-api-key";
options.DefaultModel = CompactifAIModels.Llama33_70B_Slim;
options.TimeoutSeconds = 180;
});
Using in a service:
public class MyService
{
private readonly ICompactifAIClient _client;
public MyService(ICompactifAIClient client)
{
_client = client;
}
public async Task<string> GetAnswerAsync(string question)
{
return await _client.ChatAsync(question);
}
}
Features
Chat Completions
using CompactifAI.Client;
using CompactifAI.Client.Models;
// Full control with ChatCompletionRequest
var request = new ChatCompletionRequest
{
Model = CompactifAIModels.Llama4Scout_Slim,
Messages = new List<ChatMessage>
{
ChatMessage.System("You are a helpful coding assistant."),
ChatMessage.User("Write a function to calculate fibonacci numbers in C#")
},
Temperature = 0.7,
MaxTokens = 1000
};
var response = await client.CreateChatCompletionAsync(request);
Console.WriteLine(response.Choices[0].Message?.Content);
Console.WriteLine($"Tokens used: {response.Usage?.TotalTokens}");
Text Completions
// Simple completion
var text = await client.CompleteAsync(
prompt: "The quick brown fox",
maxTokens: 50);
// Full control
var request = new CompletionRequest
{
Model = CompactifAIModels.Llama31_8B_Slim,
Prompt = "Once upon a time",
Temperature = 0.9,
MaxTokens = 200
};
var response = await client.CreateCompletionAsync(request);
Console.WriteLine(response.Choices[0].Text);
Audio Transcription
// Transcribe a file (MP3 recommended)
var text = await client.TranscribeFileAsync("audio.mp3", language: "en");
Console.WriteLine(text);
// Full control with TranscriptionRequest
var request = new TranscriptionRequest
{
FileContent = await File.ReadAllBytesAsync("meeting.mp3"),
FileName = "meeting.mp3",
Model = CompactifAIModels.WhisperLargeV3,
Language = "en"
};
var response = await client.TranscribeAsync(request);
Console.WriteLine($"Duration: {response.Duration}s");
Console.WriteLine($"Text: {response.Text}");
// Access segments for timestamps
foreach (var segment in response.Segments ?? new())
{
Console.WriteLine($"[{segment.Start:F2}s - {segment.End:F2}s] {segment.Text}");
}
List Available Models
var models = await client.ListModelsAsync();
foreach (var model in models.Data)
{
Console.WriteLine($"{model.Id} - {model.OwnedBy}");
}
// Get specific model info
var modelInfo = await client.GetModelAsync(CompactifAIModels.DeepSeekR1_Slim);
Console.WriteLine($"Parameters: {modelInfo.ParametersNumber}");
Available Models
| Model ID | Description |
|---|---|
