Hyperbolic

The hyperbolic provider supports Hyperbolic's API, which provides access to various LLM, image generation, audio generation, and vision-language models through an OpenAI-compatible API format. This makes it easy to integrate into existing applications that use the OpenAI SDK.

Setup

To use Hyperbolic, you need to set the HYPERBOLIC_API_KEY environment variable or specify the apiKey in the provider configuration.

Example of setting the environment variable:

export HYPERBOLIC_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Provider Formats

Text Generation (LLM)

hyperbolic:<model_name>
